Consider the following cash flows:

Cash flow -150 100 -200 175 400 250

Time 0 1 2 3 4 5

The cost of capital is 10%. What is the MIRR? Answer as a percentage with 2 decimals. Do not include the % symbol.

Consider the MIRR and the IRR. Which of the following is true?

For independent projects both the MIRR and IRR provide the same recommendations as the NPV

For mutually exclusive projects both the MIRR and IRR provide better recommendations than the NPV

There is always only 1 IRR

The reinvestment rate for the IRR is the WACC

Consider the following information for projects K and W:

Project K: NPV = $1,500 IRR = 20%

Project W: NPV = $2,500 IRR = 15%

Assume Project K and Project W are independent projects with a WACC = 10%. Which of the following is true?

Both Projects K and W should be enacted since both have a positive NPV

Neither Project K or W should be enacted since both have a positive NPV

Only Project K should be enacted since it has the highest IRR

Only Project W should be enacted since it has the highest NPV

Consider the following information for projects K and W:

Project K: NPV = $1,500 IRR = 20%

Project W: NPV = $2,500 IRR = 15%

Assume Project K and Project W are mutually exclusive projects with a WACC = 10%. Which of the following is true?

Only Project W should be enacted since it has the highest NPV

Neither Project K or W should be enacted since both have a positive NPV

Only Project K should be enacted since it has the highest IRR

Both Projects K and W should be enacted since both have a positive NPV

Consider the following series of cash flows:

Cash Flow: -50 20 10 10 20 20

Time: 0 1 2 3 4 5

If you are using a 10% discount rate, which of the following is true?

Payback will be larger than discounted payback

Payback and discounted payback will be the same

Payback will be smaller than discounted payback

Payback and discounted payback will both be less than 0

A mining company is considering a new project. Because the mine has received a permit, the project would be legal; but it would cause significant harm to a nearby river. The firm could spend an additional $10 million at year 0 to mitigate the environmental problem, but it would not be required to do so. However, if the firm does not deal with the problem at year 0 they would face a lawsuit at the end of the project (year 5) at a cost of $20 million. Developing the mine (without mitigation) would cost $60 million and the expected cash inflows would be $20 million for 5 years. The weighted average cost of capital (WACC) is 12%. Below is a summary of possible outcomes:

NPV with mitigation costs at time 0 included = $2.1 million

NPV without mitigation costs at time 0 and a lawsuit included in year 5 = $0.75 million

Should the project be undertaken? If so, should the firm do the mitigation at time 0?

No, the NPVs are positive for every possible scenario.

Yes, the project should be undertaken and the mitigation expense should be conducted at time 0.

Yes, the project should be undertaken and no mitigation should be conducted at time 0.

No, the project is too risky and should not be undertaken.
