• EEC’s cost of capital is 14%
• EEC believes it can purchase the supplier for $2 million.
Answer the following:

• Which of the techniques (NPV, IRR or payback period) is the most useful tool to use? Why?
• Which of the techniques (NPV,IRR or payback period) is the least useful tool to use? Why
• Would your answer be the same if EEC’s cost of capital were 25%? Why or why not?
• Would your answer be the same if EEC did not save $500,000 per year as anticipated?
• What would be the least amount of savings that would make this investment attractive to EEC?
• Given the scenario, what is the most EEC would be willing to pay for the supplier?
