Financial Management
- From the following information, select which project is better.
Cash Inflows (Year) I II
0 –20,000 –20,000
1 7,000 8,000
2 7,000 9,000
3 6,000 5,000
Risk less discount rate is 5%. Project I is less risks as compared to project II.
The management consider risk premium rates at 5% and 10% respectively
appropriate for discounting the cash inflows.
- There are two mutually exclusive projects I and II. Each projects requires an
investment of Rs. 60,000. The following are the cash inflows and certainly
co-efficient are as follows.
Project I Project II
Year Cash inflow Certainty Cash Inflow Certainty
Co-efficient Co-efficient
1 30,000 .7 25,000 .9
2 25,000 .8 25,000 .8
3 25,000 .9 30,000 .7
Risk-free cutoff rate is 10%. Evaluate which project will be considered.
- Mr. X is considering two mutually exclusive investment I and II. From the
following details advice Mr. X.
Project I Project II
