Homework Answers
In capital budgeting, when mutually exclusive projects are considered, only one is selected and all others are excluded.
Also, NPV and IRR are the most common parameters used for comparing mutually exclusive projects.
It is given that the pay back period required (maximum) is 5 years. All the three projects have pay back period less than 5 years and hence pass this test.
It is also stated that minimum rate of return required is 9%. All the three projects have IRR higher than this.
However, in capital budgeting, when mutually exclusive projects are considered, only one is selected and all others are excluded.
Even though project 3 has the highest NPV, this could be due to higher size of investment and revenues. On the other hand, project 1 has the highest profitability index which is the sum of PVs of future cash flows divided by initial investment.
Project 1 has the highest IRR of 12.53%.
Hence project 1 is recommended for selection.
