Year Dry Prepreg Solvent Prepreg.
0 -$30,000 -$90,000
1 10,000 28,000
2 10,000 28,000
3 10,000 28,000
4 10,000 28,000
5 10,000 28,000
a. Calculate NPV, IRR, MIRR, payback, and discounted payback for each project
b. Assuming the projects are independent, which one(s) would you recommend?

Answer:

Year           Dry Prepreg          discounted cash flow

0                   -$30,000                -$30,000

1                        10,000                    8,772

2                       10,000                    7,695

3                       10,000                    6,750

4                       10,000                    5,921

5                       10,000                    5,194

Year           Solvent Prepreg.           discounted cash flow

0                         -$90,000                   -$90,000

1                            28,000                       24,561

2                           28,000                       21,545

3                           28,000                       18,899

4                           28,000                       16,578

5                           28,000                      14,542

a. Calculate NPV, IRR, MIRR, payback, and discounted payback for each project

Dry Prepreg

NPV = $4,330

IRR = 19.86%

MIRR = 17.12%

payback = 3 years

discounted payback = 4.17 years

Solvent Prepreg

NPV = $6,130

IRR = 16.80%

MIRR = 15.51%

payback = 3.21 years

discounted payback = 4.58 years

b. Assuming the projects are independent, which one(s) would you recommend?

  • both projects, since their NPV is positive

c. If the projects are mutually exclusive, which would you recommend?

Dry prepreg becuase its IRR, MIRR are higher, and its payback and discounted payback periods are shorter.
