Andrews Construction is analyzing its capital expenditure proposals for the purchase of equipment in the coming year. The capital budget is limited to $6,000,000 for the year. Lyssa Brown, staff analyst at Andrews, is preparing an analysis of the three projects under consideration by Conan Andrews, the company's owner.

	A	B	C	D
1		Project A	Project B	Project C
2	Projected cash outflow
3	Net initial investment	$3,000,000	$1,500,000	$2,000,000
4	Projected cash inflows
5	Year 1	$1,000,000	$400,000	$2,000,000
6	Year 2	1,000,000	900,000	2,000,000
7	Year 3	1,000,000	800,000	200,000
8	Year 4	1,000,000		100,000
9	Required rate of return	12%	12%	12%

Requirements

1. Because the company's cash is limited, Andrews thinks the payback method should be used to choose between the capital budgeting projects. a. What are the benefits and limitations of using the payback method to choose between projects? b. Calculate the payback period for each of the three projects. Ignore income taxes. Using the payback method, which projects should Andrews choose? 2. Brown thinks that projects should be selected based on their NPVs. Assume all cash flows occur at the end of the year except for initial investment amounts. Calculate the NPV for each project. Ignore income taxes. 3. Which projects, if any, would you recommend funding? Briefly explain why.

(Here begins # 1, please answer 1 B then 2 & 3) Requirement 1. Because the company's cash is limited, Andrews thinks the payback method should be used to choose between the capital budgeting projects. a. What are the benefits and limitations of using the payback method to choose between projects? Benefits of the payback method: A. Indicates whether or not the project will earn the company's minimum required rate of return B. Utilizes the time value of money and computes each project's unique rate of return C. Easy to understand and captures uncertainty about expected cash flows in later years of a project D. All of the above
