NOTE. When a firm has projects that differ in risk (beta) than the "average" for the company; then the firm's overall reguired return (from Problem 2) isn't applicable. Each project needs to provide a refurn greater than or equal to its unique risk-adjusted reguired retum. THE RATES CALCULATED FOR PROJECTS A - D IN H3 ARE THE REQUIRED RETURNS FOR EACH FOR THE FOLLOWING: Use for Problems 4-7. For each project, calculate the NPV, IRR, profitability index (PI) and the payback period. For each capital budgeting decision tool, indicate if the project should be accepted or rejected, assuming that each project is independent of the others. Important Note: The venture capital folks, when considering payback period, have a firm maximum payback period of four years. This 4-year payback period has no impact on other capital budgeting analysis techniques, each is to be considered on its own. In other words, yes, all cash flows need to be considered for NPV, IRR, and PI. Expected cash flows for the four potential projects that Baker is considering as shown below (each project ends when its cash flows end): I have provided a suggested template for your final answers. Below the grid is where you should show all your required backup calculations (this means your casli flow register inputs, the interest rate, PI calculation and cumutative casti flows for paybrack). If you are working this in Excel, feel free to submit your Excel sheet. where the equations in the cells will provide the required backup. Be sure to clearly indicate the required rate of return for each project (you calculated each in Problem 3). Remember that each capital budgeting method should be calculated and analyzed on a stand-alone basis. If you need more room to show your work, just add space in this document or put at the end (but be sure your academic coach can easily find your work for each section).
