b)
- Net Present Value (NPV) of Project A = 83.2 = 0.0832 million
(Calculated above)
- NPV of Project B = 0.06399 million
- NPV of Project C = 0.07901 million
c) The payback method provides the timeframe for recovering the initial investment. Project A requires 3.32 years, Project B necessitates 3 years, and Project C demands 2 years for investment recovery. However, prioritizing
The internal rate of return (IRR) signifies the rate at which the present value of expected cash inflows matches the initial cash outflows. It serves as the upper threshold for a viable investment, as exceeding this rate renders th
The Net Present Value (NPV) is crucial for enhancing shareholder wealth, aligning with the company's objective. Therefore, Project A, yielding the maximum NPV of 0.0832 million, should be pursued.
d) Choosing project C will eventually increase the total firm value by 0,07901 million, so the total share will increase by the same amount

Project X Project Y
NPV= 29,19665199 18,55424679
IRR(%)= 0,1562 0,1871
b) Would undertake project X, due to having higher NPV and meeting IRR>10% requirements
c) A director preferring to use NPV would pick project X, but one preferring to use IRR would pick project Y. So its depends on whether they prefer the absolute value of the project or the rate of return
d) Take the NPV of Project X = 18,554, we calculated the Re~13.4%, so, if the cost of capital is greater than 13,4%, the NPV of project X would be lower than project Y and thus we choose project Y.
