A firm is considering two investment projects, Y and Z. These projects are NOT mutually exclusive. Assume the firm is not capital constrained. The initial costs and cashflows for these projects are:

(a) Using a discount rate of 9% calculate the net present value for each project. What decision would you make based on your calculations? (4 marks)

(b) How would your decision change if the discount rate used for calculating the net present value is 15%? (4 marks)

(c) Calculate an approximate IRR for each project. Assume the hurdle rate is 9%. What decision would you make based on your calculations? (4 marks)

(d) Calculate the payback period for each project. The company looks to select investment projects paying back in 2 years. What decision would you make based on your calculations? (3 marks)

(e) Critically discuss Net Present Value (NPV), Internal Rate of Return (IRR) and payback period as criteria for investment appraisal. (10 marks) Remark:
