P10–4 Long-term investment decision, payback method Bill Williams has the opportunity
to invest in project A that costs $9,000 today and promises to pay annual end-ofyear
payments of $2,200, $2,500, $2,500, $2,000, and $1,800 over the next 5 years.
Or, Bill can invest $9,000 in project B that promises to pay annual end-of-year payments
of $1,500, $1,500, $1,500, $3,500, and $4,000 over the next 5 years.
a. How long will it take for Bill to recoup his initial investment in project A?
b. How long will it take for Bill to recoup his initial investment in project B?
c. Using the payback period, which project should Bill choose?
d. Do you see any problems with his choice?
A. Project A

1 $2,200 $6,800 3+1800/2000
2 $2,500 $4,300 3.9 years

3 $1,500 $4,500
4 $3,500 $1,000
5 $4,000
$12,000
C. Using the payback period, Bill would choose project A. This is because the longer he must wait to recover his funds, the greater chance of mishap.
D. The problem with choice A would be that there would be a loss of funds. Project B would require a slightly longer period of time to recuperate funds but there would be an additional $1,000 at the end of five years.

P10–11 Long-term investment decision, NPV method Jenny Jenks has researched the financial
pros and cons of entering into a 1-year MBA program at her state university. The
tuition and books for the master’s program will have an up-front cost of $50,000. If
she enrolls in an MBA program, Jenny will quit her current job, which pays $50,000
per year after taxes (for simplicity, treat any lost earnings as part of the up-front
cost). On average, a person with an MBA degree earns an extra $20,000 per year (after
taxes) over a business career of 40 years. Jenny believes that her opportunity cost
of capital is 6%. Given her estimates, find the net present value (NPV) of entering
this MBA program. Are the benefits of further education worth the associated costs?

P10–15 Internal rate of return Peace of Mind, Inc. (PMI), sells extended warranties for durable
consumer goods such as washing machines and refrigerators. When PMI sells an extended
warranty, it receives cash up front from the customer, but later PMI must cover any repair
costs that arise. An analyst working for PMI is considering a warranty for a new line
of big-screen TVs. A consumer who purchases the 2-year warranty will pay PMI $200.
On average, the repair costs that PMI must cover will average $106 for each of the warranty’s
2 years. If PMI has a cost of capital of 7%, should it offer this warranty for sale?

E. Based on the pay back period, Nicholson Roofing Materials, Inc., should choose project B because it required less time to recover the initial investment.
Using the NPV criteria Project A would be the appropriate choice when the cost of capital is set at 0% and 9% because they yield the highest returns.
Using the IRR, project B would be the appropriate choice. Since the IRR is above 0% either could be accepted but project B yields the higher of the two.
F. Cost of Capital 12%
Year Project A Project B

5 $45,000 $30,000
6 $45,000 $30,000
NPV $35,013.33 $37,436.61
When the cost of capital is changed to 12%, the NPV changes and project B becomes the best choice.
As the cost of capital percentage increases, the NPV of project A decreases and project A increases.
This is because project A has a steady cash inflow while project B has a decreasing cash flow for the first three years.

d. Draw the net present value profiles for both projects on the same set of axes, and
discuss any conflict in ranking that may exist between NPV and IRR.
e. Summarize the preferences dictated by each measure, and indicate which project
you would recommend. Explain why.

E. Using the payback period project a would be the best choice because it has the shortest return time of 3 years.
Using the NPV, project B would be the best choice because it yields the highest return.
Using the IRR, project A would be the best choice because it has the highest return at 24%.
If I were to recommend one, I would choose project B. This is because it has the highest NPV.
