Problem #4 Project Evaluation
Micas firm is choosing from two different projects that both require $40,000 investment today. The firm can only manage one project.
Micas manager is leaning towards Project 1, observing that its cash flows give the firm back all the money it must invest in under 6 years while Project 2 has an 8-year payback period. The firms other projects are similar to this and the firms weighted average cost of capital is 10%.
Make an argument for which project would be the best financial choice. You should use computations and concepts to convince the manager.
Criticize or defend the metric the manager is suggesting.
