Keller Construction is considering two new investments. Project E calls for the purchase of earth-moving equipment. Project H represents the investment in a hydraulic lift. Keller wishes to use a NPV profile in comparing the projects. The investment and cash flow patterns are as follows: Use Appendix B.
Project E ($20,000 investment) Project H ($20,000 investment)
Year Cash Flow Year Cash Flow
1 $5,000 1 $16,000
2 6,000 2 5,000
3 7,000 3 4,000
4 10,000
a. Determine the NPV of the projects based on a zero discount rate.
NPV
Project E $
Project H $
b. Determine the NPV of the projects based on a 9 percent discount rate. (Round "PV Factors" to 3 decimal places. Round the final answers to the nearest whole dollar.)
NPV
Project E $
Project H $
c. If the two projects are not mutually exclusive, what would your acceptance or rejection decision be if the cost of capital (discount rate) is 10 percent? (Use the NPV profile for your decision; no actual numbers are necessary.)
Project E
Project H
Both H and E
e. If the two projects are mutually exclusive (the selection of one precludes the selection of the other), what would be your decision if the cost of capital is (1) 6 percent, (2) 13 percent, (3) 18 percent? Use the NPV profile for your answer.

Net Present Value | $ 2,127 |
NPV of Project-E = $2,127
NPV of Project-H = $1,976
(c)
Project-H should be selected as the NPV of the project E reduce more when discount rate 0% to 9% and Cashflow of near future is high under Project-H so Discount point for near future use to calculate the present value so present value of that cashflow is higher.

(e) To calculate NPV of Mutually exclusive Projects then first we calculate the combine cashflow of the both project.
