An oil-drilling company must choose between two mutually exclusive extraction projects, and each requires an initial outlay at t = 0 of $12.8 million. Under Plan A, all the oil would be extracted in 1 year, producing a cash flow at t = 1 of $15.36 million. Under Plan B, cash flows would be $2.2744 million per year for 20 years. The firm's WACC is 11.7%.

  1. Construct NPV profiles for Plans A and B. Enter your answers in millions. For example, an answer of $10,550,000 should be entered as 10.55. If an amount is zero, enter "0". Negative values, if any, should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to two decimal places.

    12 ? million ? million
    15 ? million ? million

  2. Is it logical to assume that the firm would take on all available independent, average-risk projects with returns greater than 11.7%?

    -Select-YesNoItem 18

    If all available projects with returns greater than 11.7% have been undertaken, does this mean that cash flows from past investments have an opportunity cost of only 11.7%, because all the company can do with these cash flows is to replace money that has a cost of 11.7%?

    -Select-YesNoItem 19

    Does this imply that the WACC is the correct reinvestment rate assumption for a project's cash flows?

    -Select-YesNo
