Consider two mutually exclusive rd projects that adm is


Consider two mutually exclusive R&D projects that ADM is considering. Assume the discount rate for ADM is 12 percent. Project A: Server CPU .13 micron processing project By shrinking the die size to .13 micron, ADM will be able to offer server CPU chips with lower power consumption and heat generation, meaning faster CPUs. Project B: New telecom chip project Entry into this industry will require introduction of a new chip for cell phones. The know-how will require a large amount of up-front capital, but success of the project will lead to large cash flows later on. Year Project A Project B 0 –$ 735,000 –$ 943,000 1 346,000 261,000 2 364,000 369,000 3 258,000 366,000 4 183,000 419,000 5 126,000 504,000 Complete the following table: (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter the IRR as a percent. Round your profitability index (PI) answers to 3 decimal places (e.g., 32.161) and other answers to 2 decimal places (e.g., 32.16).) Project A Project B NPV $ 235542.03 $ 396977.04 IRR 26.80 % 26.21 % PI 1.32 1.42 What is the incremental IRR of investing in the larger project?
