Since 20% is not high enough, we try the next highest rate
at 25%.

a. If the reinvestment assumption of the net present value method is used, what will be
the total value of the inflows after five years? (Assume the inflows come at the end of
each year.)
b. If the reinvestment assumption of the internal rate of return method is used, what will
be the total value of the inflows after five years?
c. Generally is one investment assumption likely to be better than another?

a. What is the modified internal rate of return? An approximation from Appendix B is
adequate. (You do not need to interpolate.)
b. Assume the traditional internal rate of return on the investment is 17.5 percent.

22. Capital rationing and mutually exclusive investments (LO4) The Suboptimal Glass
Company uses a process of capital rationing in its decision making. The firm’s cost of
capital is 13 percent. It will only invest only $60,000 this year. It has determined the
internal rate of return for each of the following projects.

a. Pick out the projects that the firm should accept.
b. If Projects D and E are mutually exclusive, how would that affect your overall
answer? That is, which projects would you accept in spending the $60,000?

You should rank the investments in terms of IRR.
Project IRR Project Size Total Budget
E 23% $10,000 $ 10,000
D 17 10,000 20,000
a. Because of capital rationing, only $60,000 worth of projects
b. If Projects D and E are mutually exclusive, you would select
23. Net present value profile (LO4) Keller Construction is considering two new investments.
Project E calls for the purchase of earthmoving equipment. Project H represents an
investment in a hydraulic lift. Keller wishes to use a net present value profile in comparing
the projects. The investment and cash flow patterns are as follows:

a. Determine the net present value of the projects based on a zero discount rate.
b. Determine the net present value of the projects based on a 9 percent discount rate.
c. The internal rate of return on Project E is 13.25 percent, and the internal rate of return
on Project H is 16.30 percent. Graph a net present value profile for the two
investments similar to Figure 12-3. (Use a scale up to $8,000 on the vertical axis, with
$2,000 increments. Use a scale up to 20 percent on the horizontal axis, with
5 percent increments.)
d. If the two projects are not mutually exclusive, what would your acceptance or
rejection decision be if the cost of capital (discount rate) is 8 percent? (Use the net
present value profile for your decision; no actual numbers are necessary.)
e. If the two projects are mutually exclusive (the selection of one precludes the selection
of the other), what would be your decision if the cost of capital is (1) 6 percent,
(2) 13 percent, (3) 18 percent? Once again, use the net present value profile for your
answer.
