A project's NPV profile graph intersects the Y-axis at 0% cost of capital and intersects the X-axis at the project's (where NPV = 0). The Y-axis intersection point represents the project's undiscounted NPV. The point at which 2 projects' profiles cross one another is the crossover rate. The crossover rate can be found by calculating the of the differences in the projects' cash flows (Project Delta). A NPV profile indicates that increases in the cost of capital lead to large declines in NPV. If a project has most of its cash flows coming in later years, its NPV will sharply if the cost of capital increases; but a project whose cash flows come earlier will not be severely penalized by high capital costs. The significance of the crossover rate is that at any cost of capital than the crossover rate, the NPV and IRR methods will provid the same conclusion for evaluating mutually exclusive projects. However, at any cost of capital than the crossover rate, the NPV and IRR methods' conclusions will conflict. In that situation, the method will always provide the correct project acceptance result. Quantitative Problem: Bellinger Industries is considering two projects for inclusion in its capital budget, and you have been asked to do the analysis. Both projects' after-tax cash flows are shown on the time line below. Depreciation, salvage values, net operating working capital requirements, and tax effects are all included in these cash flows. Both projects have 4-year lives, and they have risk characteristics similar to the firm's average project. Bellinger's WACC is 9%. What is Project Delta's IRR? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to two decimal places. % What is the significance of this IRR? It is the after this point when mutually exclusive projects are considered there is no conflict in project acceptance between the NPV and IRR approaches. Review the graphs below.
