11-27 Divisional WACCS Suppose your firm has decided to use a divisional WACC approach to analyze projects. The firm currently has four divisions, A through D, with average betas for each division of 0.6, 1.0, 1.3, and 1.6, respectively. If all cur- rent and future projects will be financed with half debt and half equity, and if the current cost of equity (based on an average firm beta of 1.0 and a current risk-free rate of 7 percent) is 13 percent and the after-tax yield on the company's bonds is 8 percent, what will the WACCS be for each division?

Suppose your firm has decided to use a divisional WACC approach to analyze projects. The firm currently has four divisions, A through D, with average betas for each division of 0.9, 1.3, 1.4, and 1.5, respectively. Assume all current and future projects will be financed with 35 percent debt and 65 percent equity, the current cost of equity (based on an average firm beta of 1.3 and a current risk-free rate of 4 percent) is 15 percent and the after-tax yield on the company’s bonds is 9 percent. What will the WACCs be for each division? Note: Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answers to 2 decimal places.

Question 22 The area manager of ARC is considering two possible expansion alternatives. The required investments, expected contribution margin and controllable margins of each are as follows: Project Investment Contribution margin $200,000 $80,000 001 002 $600,000 $180,000 ARC Division has curently $2,000,000 in invested capital, a contribution margin margin of $300,000. If project 002 is implemented, the ARC's ROI will be decimals) Controllable margin $35,000 $50,000 of $550,000 and a controllable % (rounded 3
QUESTION 13 A large company has the opportunity to select one of seven projects-A, B, C, D, E, F, G-or choose the (do-nothing) alternative. Each project requires a single initial investment as shown in the table below. Information on each alternative was fed into a computer program that calculated the IRR for each project and all the pertinent incremental IRRs as shown in the table below. Project A B C D Initial investment F 10% 9% $13,000 8% $15,000 796 9% 6% 5% $17,000 $19,000 $25,000 596 8% 79 3% If MARR is 5.5%, indicate which decision should be taken.

28 A company has four mutually exclusive investment opportunities, each one yielding different profits depending on the state of the market. There are three possible market states which could arise. The probability of each of these states, together with the incremental profits from each project, are shown in the following pay-off table. Market State Good Average Bad Probability 0.2 0.5 0.3 Investment Opportunity $000 $ 000 $000 North 100 80 60 South 120 90 60 East 80 60 40 60 40 20 West If the company wishes to maximise expected profits, which one of these projects should be undertaken? [ ] North B 1 South C [ ] East West
Question 25 Jefferson International is trying to choose between the flowing two mutually exclusive design projects: Year Cash Flow (A) Cash Flow (B) 0 -$79,000 -$12,500 1 18,500 5,800 2 39,600 21,800 3 48,700 25,600 The required rate of return is 9 percent. Project A has a profitability index of 1.3 and project B has a profitability index of 1.24. Which project should the firm accept and why? Choose the answer with the "best" reasoning. Group of answer choices Project A because it has a higher profitability index Project B because it has a higher profitability index Project A because it has a higher NPV Project B because it has a higher NPV Project B because it has a higher profitability index and NPV

Preference Ranking of Investment Projects The management of Revco Products is exploring four different investment opportunities. Information on the four projects under study follows: Because the company’s required rate of return is 10%, a 10% discount rate has been used in the present value computations above. Limited funds are available for investment, so the company can’t accept all of the available projects. Required: 1. Compute the project profitability index for each investment project. 2. Rank the four projects according to preference, in terms of: a. Net present value b. Project profitability index c. Internal rate of return 3. Which ranking do you prefer? Why?
Question 15 Company 15 is considering undertaking a new project. The financial controller has computed Net Present Value (NPV) of the project at two different discount rates. The NPV at a discount rate of 12% is £4,700 positive and at a discount rate of 20%, it is £7,400 negative. You are required to compute the Internal Rate of Return (IRR) using linear interpolation or extrapolation. The Internal Rate of Return of this project is which of the following: A 23.1% B 16.9% C 15.1% D 8.9%
