Question
Transcribed Image Text:Your firm has identified three potential investment projects. The projects and their cash flows
are shown here:
Project
Cash Flow Today ($)
Cash Flow in One Year ($)
A
-10
20
В
20
-10
Suppose all cash flows are certain and the risk-free interest rate is 10%.
a. What is the NPV of each project?
b. If the firm can choose only one of these projects, which should it choose?
c. If the firm can choose any two of these projects, which should it choose?

- 5. A firm evaluates all of its projects by applying the NPV rule. A project under consideration has the following cash flows: Year 0 1 2 3 Cash flow $ -34,000 16,000 18,000 15,000 If the required return is 12 percent, what is the NPV for this project? Should the firm accept the project? Explain. What is the NPV for this project if the required return is 35 percent? Should the firm accept the project? Explain. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.arrow_forwardSuppose your firm is considering investing in a project with the cash flows shown below, that the required rate of return on projects of this risk class is 8 percent, and that the maximum allowable payback and discounted payback statistics for the project are 3.5 and 4.5 years, respectively.

- Consider an economy with three states which occur with probability (0.2, 0.2, 0.6). Suppose a firm has a project which generates the state dependent cash flows (100, 240, 220) at t=1. The investment costs are 170 at t=0. The firm has 170 at t=0. The market portfolio generates the payoff (200, 230, 260) and has an expected return of 10%. The risk free rate is 2%. Suppose the CAPM holds. (a) What is the beta of this project? (b) What is the net present value of the project? Explain whether the firm should conduct the project.arrow_forwardSuppose your firm is considering two mutually exclusive, required projects with the cash flows shown below. The required rate of return on projects of both of their risk class is 8 percent, and that the maximum allowable payback and discounted payback statistic for the projects are 2 and 3 years, respectively.
