You have a choice between two mutually exclusive investments. Project A requires initial cash outlay of $150,000 and has projected cash flows of $100,000 for year one, $55,000 for year two, and $30,000 for year three. Meanwhile, Project B requires initial cash outlay of $100,000 and has projected cash flows of $40,000 per year for the next three years. The required rate of return is 10%.
(a) Calculate the ordinary payback period for both projects and determine which should be accepted. Assume the target payback period is 2 years. Explain why.
(b) Calculate the discounted payback period for both projects and determine which should be accepted. Assume the target payback period is 2 years Explain why.
(c) Calculate the profitability index (PI) for both projects and determine which should be accepted. Explain why.
(d) Assuming the projected cash flow is a future net income, calculate the average accounting return (AAR) for both projects and determine which should be accepted if the target average accounting return is 30%. Explain why.
