Here are the projected flows:

 

Year                               Method A                      Method B

0                             ($300,000)                             ($120,000)

1                             (66,000)                                  (96,000)

2                              (66,000)                                 (96,000)

4                               (66,000)                                 (96,000)

5                               (66,000)                                 (96,000)

A.      What is each alternative’s IRR?

B.      If the cost of capital for both methods is 9 percent which method should be chosen? And why?

 

2.        

Great Lakes Clinic has been asked to provide exclusive healthcare services for next year’s world exposition. Although flattered by the request, the clinic managers want to conducts a financial analysis of the project. There will be an up front cost of $160,000 to get the clinic in operation.

4                                                  1,000                                                             3,000

a.       Calculate each projects payback period, net present value (NPV) and internal rate of return (IRR)

b.      Which project or projects is financially acceptable? Explain your answer

 

4.       The director of capital budgeting for Big Sky Health System, Inc. has estimated the following cash flows in thousands of dollars for a proposed new service:

 

Year                                                                         Expected Net Cash Flow
