Consider the following projects, X and Y where the firm can only choose one. Project X costs $1500 and has cash flows of $678, $652, $347, $111, $54, $16 in each of the next 6 years. Project Y also costs $1500, and generates cash flows of $738, $693, $405 for the next 3 years, respectively. WACC=9.5%.

E) Plot NPV profiles for the two projects. Identify the projects IRRs on the graph.

F) If the WACC were 5.5 percent, would this change your recommendation if the projects were mutually exclusive? If the WACC were 16.5 percent, would this change your recommendation? Explain your answers.

G) There is a crossover rate of Xs and Ys NPV curves, and mark it on the graph with Point O. Explain in words what this rate is and how it affects the choice between mutually exclusive

projects.

H) If it possible for conflicts to exist between the NPV and the IRR when independent projects are being evaluated? Explain your answer.
