Discussion Forum 4The discussion activity for Module 6 entails computing net present value (NPV) and internal rate of return (IRR) and solving capital budgeting problems.For your computations you can use the interest tables provided in the textbook’s appendixes software such as Excel a financial calculator or any of the pertinent computer programs included with South-Western’s.swlearning.com/finance/investment_calculator/mainmenu.htm”>Investment Analysis Calculator. [Hint: Most useful for solving NPV and IRR problems with the Investment Analysis Calculator are programs under the sections Financial Calculator and Rate of Return (Dollar-Weighted or IRR).]Note: Before beginning the discussion activity for Module 6 be sure to study carefully Chapter 22 “Capital Budgeting.”Here are the steps to follow:Using the computation tool(s) of your choice to determine NPV or IRR answer the eight capital budgeting problems found at the following link:.google.com/open?id=0B5kABJwW_-QeT1FZM09JdVZUWGE4NzA0SHJ1OWsxZw”>Capital Budgeting ProblemsIn Discussion Forum 4 post solutions to anytwo (2) of the problems you answered in Step 1 (see “Ground Rules” below). Please identify the problems clearly by number and title your posting “Problems [X] and [Y]/[Your Name].” Post your solutions by the date indicated in the course Calendar.Ground RulesOur goal as a class is to answer and discuss as many problems as possible. To ensure that we cover as many problems as we can and to minimize duplication let’s adopt these ground rules:Solutions are posted on a first-come basis.If a classmate has already posted solutions to the two problems you intended to answer choose at least one different problem to answer.At a minimum then no two solution pairs (i.e. combination of problems) should be the same. With eight problems from which to choose two we have 28 possible combinations with which to work!Review and comment on at least two of your classmates’ postings by the date indicated in the course Calendar.
