Project Risk If you can borrow all the money you need for a project at 6 percent, doesn’t it follow that 6 percent is your cost of capital for the project?
To determine: The respond to the given statement.
Introduction:
The cost of capital is the WACC (Weighted Average Cost of Capital) is the total rate of return for a company which anticipates reimbursing all their investors. It is considered as a financing resource in the target capital structure of a company and it measured in terms of weights of fractions.
Explanation of Solution
Statement: If money borrowed at 6% doesn’t it follow that 6% percent as cost of capital for the project?
“No the statement is false”
Reason:
Because the cost of capital of a project is based on the riskiness of a project. Additionally the origin of money will not considered as cost of capital.

- Consider an investment project with the following net cash flows: What would be the value of X if the project's IRR is 10%?arrow_forwardExplain how the internal rate of return and net present value are related. If a project has an NPV of $50,000 using a 10 percent discount factor, what does this imply about that project's IRR?arrow_forward3. You are considering a project that has an initial outlay of $1million. The profitability index of the project is 2.24. What is the NPV of the project?arrow_forward
- Assume that you have two investment alternatives: the first project produces $125 for sure, and the second project produces $150 with probability 2/5.

- Suppose a firm estimates its WACC to be 10 percent. Should the WACC be used to evaluate all of its potential projects, even if they vary in risk? If not, what might be “reasonable” costs of capital for average-, high-, and low-risk projects?arrow_forwardThe internal rate of return (IRR) on a project is the average annual rate of return provided by investing in the project.
