Introduction:
The difference between the present value of cash inflows and the present value of cash outflows over a period of time is known as the Net Present value. NPV is used in capital budgeting as a criterion to analyze the profitability of projects.

Introduction:
The difference between the present value of cash inflows and the present value of cash outflows over a period of time is known as the Net Present value.
d)
To determine:
The profitability index of each press.
Introduction:
Profitability Index which is an index that measures that the costs and benefits of a project as the ratio of present value of future cash flows to the initial investment.

The estimated internal rate of return (IRR) and cost of capital for these projects are presented here: Project H (high risk): Cost of capital = 14% IRR = 16% Project M (medium risk): Cost of capital = 9% IRR = 7% Project L (low risk): Cost of capital = 6% IRR = 7% Note that the projects' costs of capital vary because the projects have different levels of risk. The company's optimal capital structure calls for 40% debt and 60% common equity, and it expects to have net income of $3,300,000. If Lane establishes its dividends from the residual dividend model, what will be its payout ratio? Round your answer to two decimal places. %arrow_forward
