Question 1 Answer

Project A

NPV for Project A@ 12%(At given discount Rate) = $15,967.69

NPV For Project A@ 14% (by adding 2% in discount rate) = 7,176.60

NPV for Project A @ 10 % (by subtracting 2% in discount rate) =25,390.11

Project B

NPV for Project B @ 12% ( At given discount Rate) = -$2,740.70

NPV for Project B @12+2%= 14% (by adding 2% in discount rate) = -$14,489.68

NPV for Project B @ 10 % (by subtracting 2% in discount rate)= $10,001.43

From above calculation we can analyze that

At discount rate 12% the project A is feasible having a positive value

At discount rate 14% the project A is feasible having a positive value

At discount rate 10% both project A & b is feasible having a positive value

Overall, the project both project is having positive value @ 10%. If the project discount rate is

10% company can accept both project with positive NPV value . However, if the discount rate is

14% or 12% company should accept the project A with a positive NPV value.
Question 2

Question 3

a. Calculate each franchise's payback period, net present value (NPV), internal rate of return (IRR), and
modified internal rate of return (MIRR).

Solution

Both project has following cash fellows at discount rate of 10%

Net cash flows

Franchise Franchise
Year S L
0 -$100 -$100
1 $70 $10
2 $50 $60
3 $20 $80

Franchise S Franchise L

NPV $19.98 $18.78

Payback Period 1.6 yrs 2.375 Yrs

IRR 23.56% 18.13%

MIRR 16.88% 16.49%

Detailed solution is given bellow

Year Project L Project S

0 -$$100 -$100
1 $10 $70
2 $60 $50
3 $80 $20
Net Present Value -$100 -$100
calculations @ 10% $9.09 $63.64
$49.59 $41.32

$60.11 $15.03
Net Present Value $18.78 $19.98
@ 10%
 Project S has more NPV value than Project L so we should
accept project S
Pay back Period Payback period = 1+$30/$50 which is
2+$30/$80 1+0.6000 = 1.6
=2+0.375 which Years
=2.375 years

IRR 18.13% 23.56%

MRR 16.495% 16.88%

Graph the NPV of each franchise at different values of the corporate cost of capital from 0 to 24 percent
in 2 percent increments. - How sensitive are the franchise NPVs to the corporate cost of capital? - Why
do the franchise NPVs differ in their sensitivity to the corporate cost of capital? - At what cost of capital
does each franchise intersect the X-axis? What are these values?

b. Which project or projects should be accepted if they are independent? Which project should be accepted if they
are mutually exclusive?
 Both project has positive value and can be accepted if they are independent however if they are mutually
exclusive the Project S is better with higher NPV value

D. Suppose the hospital could sell off the equipment for each franchise at the end of any year.
Use NPV to determine the optimal economic life of each franchise when the salvage values are
as follows:
Answer
Optimal Life for Project L Is Three Year while optimal life for project S is one Year.
