Option #1: NPV for 5-Year Project

For this exercise, you need to calculate the NPV for a project described below. Make sure you study the “Numeric Models: Profit/Profitability” section in Chapter 2 of the textbook before trying to solve the problem. You are the manager of a construction company with a five-year project that has a projected net cash flow of $25,000, $35,000, $45,000, $20,000 and $15,000. Implementation costs are $50,000. The company has a required rate of return of 20%. Compute the discounted cash flow and determine the NPV. Include your calculations in an appendix after the references page. Include information on what projected net cash flow, discounted cash flow and NPV are, why they are useful in project selection, and, given the numbers, if this example project meets the company requirements, and why or why not.

Optional Resources

Review any of the following videos for additional information on how to calculate NPV:

Option #2: Weighted Scoring Matrix

For this exercise, you need to assess a project selection matrix in a case described below. Make sure you study the “Numeric Models: Scoring” section (Table B and Figure A, in particular) in Chapter 2 of the textbook before trying to solve the problem. You are the person responsible for ordering the following 10 telecommunications projects, all of which support the new 5G initiative. Using the scoring matrix and the weights provided, which project would you rate highest (the first to implement, next, and so on until they are listed from 1 to 10). Your matrix should be included in an appendix after the references page. Describe what a weighted score matrix is, how it is used, and how you reached the conclusions you did.
