Assume that the net cash flow of a potential $7.25 million investment is $1.1 million in year 1, then $1.25 million in year 2, $1.4 million in year 3, $2.2 million in year 4 and year 5, and then sold at the end of year 5 for $850,000. Further assume that in each year cash flows (excluding initial investment) could be as much as $400,000 less than forecast, or $400,000 more than forecast. Suppose you assess the “low net cash flow” probability at 25 percent likely, the base (original) scenario at 50 percent likely, and the “high net cash flow” probability at 25 percent. The corporate cost of capital is 9 percent.

Question 1 Mr Tommy Tan is considering two potential investment projects that have similar capital requirements:
Year 0 Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4
Project A (4,000,000) 1,600,000 1,800,000 2,000,000 2,100,000
Project B (4,200,000) 500,000 1,700,000 1,900,000 2,000,000
For Project A, the company cost of capital is assumed to be 14%. For Project B, assessed as the riskier project of the two, a risk-adjusted cost of capital of 15% is considered appropriate.
(b) Calculate the IRR of the two (2) projects and assess the projects using the investment appraisal technique of Internal Rate of Return.
(c) Is the company’s cost of capital suitable in the evaluation of projects with different risks? Explain your answer.
