Suppose that you as the chief financial officer for Kindle Memorial Hospital and you were asked by the CEO to analyze two proposed capital investments â Project X and Project Y. Each project requires a net investment outlay of $10,000, and the cost of capital for each project is 12 percent. The projectsâ expected net cash flows are as follows:
Year Project X Project Y
0 ($10,000) ($10,000)
1 6,500 3,000
2 3,000 3,000
3 3,000 3,000
4 1,000 3,000
a. Calculate each projectâs payback period, net present value (NPV) and Internal rate of return (IRR)
b. Which project (or projects) is financially acceptable? Explain your answer briefly.
