Chicago Valve Company - Capital Budgeting Decision Methods

CASE-11M Student Version 10/31/07

CHICAGO VALVE COMPANY

Capital Budgeting Decision Methods

This case is designed as an introduction to capital budgeting methods.

NPV, IRR, MIRR, PI, and Payback are included in the analysis.

The model develops the project's cash flows on the basis of input cost

and savings data, then calculates the above decision criteria. Note

that this model was constructed specifically for this case, and hence

project life and depreciation allowances are fixed. The spreadsheet

sheet NPV-PROF contains a graph of the NPV profiles and the sheet

MULTIPLE contains a graph of the multiple IRR project.

If you are using the student version of the model, the following cells

have been blanked out: C40:C41,B58:C65, D57:D65, B67:B72, and F70:F72.

Before using the model, it is necessary to fill in the empty cells with the

appropriate formulas. Once this is done, the model is ready for use.
