Valley Corporation is attempting to select
the best of a group of independent projects competing for the firmAc€?cs fixed capital budget of $4.5 million. The firm recognizes that any unused portion of this budget will earn less than its 15% cost of capital, thereby resulting in a present value of inflows that is less than the initial investment. The firm has summarized, in the following table, the key data to be used in selecting the best group of projects.
Project - Initial investment - IRR - Present value of inflows at 15%
A: -$5,000,000, 17%, $5,400,000
B: -800,000, 18%, 1,100,000
C: -2,000,000, 19%, 2,300,000
D: -1,500,000, 16%, 1,600,000
E: -800,000, 22%, 900,000
F: -2,500,000, 23%, 3,000,000
G: -1,200,000, 20%, 1,300,000
