1. Explain feasibility analysis. 2. What is the NPV? . . . the B/C? . . . the IRR? 3. What is the criterion for project acceptability for the NPV? . . . for the B/C? . . . for the IRR? 4. How is the IRR of a project generally calculated? 5. Why is the IRR generally not a good way to evaluate investment alternatives? 6. Consider the following investment. You invest $500 per acre to establish a stand of trees. At the end of each year for 30 years, you incur an annual management expense of $10. At the end of 30 years, you receive $5,000 per acre in stumpage fees. a. Calculate the NPV and B/C ratio for this investment. b. Calculate the internal rate of return on this investment to the nearest tenth of a percent. 7. Given below are the after-tax incremental cash flows for Projects A and B. Note the similarity between the two projects. End of Year Projects 0 1 2 3 4 5 Project A -10,000 -50000 60,000 20,000 30,000 15,000 Project B -10,000 50,000 -60,000 40,000 30,000 20,000 a) Calculate the NPV at 20% for each project. b) Calculate the IRR(s) for the two projects. c) If you had to invest in one of the projects, which project would you prefer and why? 8.
