14) A company is considering a project in Chile. The beta for Chile is 1.1. The firm has an equity beta of 1.10 and a value of 2000M and debt of 500M and cash and marketable securities of 100M. If the risk- free rate is 2% and the GRP is 6%, what is the proper cost of capital for the project in Chile?

Soft and Cuddly is considering a new toy that will produce the following cash flows. Should the company produce this toy based on IRR if the firm requires a rate of return of 17.5 percent? Yes, because the project's rate of return is 16.45 percent   Yes, because the project's rate of return is 11.47 percent   No, because the project's rate of return is 16.45 percent   No, because the project's rate of return is 11.47 percent   No, because the internal rate of return is zero percent

Consider a project with free cash flows in one year of $90,000 in a weak economy or $117,000 in a strong economy, with each outcome being equally likely. The initial investment required for the project is $80,000, and the project's cost of capital is 15%. The risk-free interest rate is 5%. c. Suppose that to raise the funds for the initial investment the firm borrows $45,000 at the risk-free rate and issues new equity to cover the remainder. In this situation, calculate the value of the firm's levered equity from the project. What is the cost of capital for the firm's levered equity? d. What is the basic goal of financial management with respect to capital structure? Is there an easily identifiable capital structure that will maximize the value of the firm? Why or why not?

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.

Consider a project with free cash flows in one year of $90,000 in a weak economy or $117,000 in a strong economy, with each outcome being equally likely. The initial investment required for the project is $80,000, and the project's cost of capital is 15%. The risk-free interest rate is 5%. Suppose that you borrow $30,000 in financing the project. According to MM proposition II, the firm's equity cost of capital will be closest to:   A. 15%   B. 25%   C. 17%  D. 20%

Suppose 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 9 percent, and that the maximum allowable payback and discounted payback statistics for the project are 3.5 and 4.5 years, respectively. Time: Cash flow: 0 -$15, 200 MIRR 1 $3,000 3 2 $4,200 $3,400 Use the MIRR decision rule to evaluate this project. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your final answer to 2 decimal places.) % 5 $3,400 $3,200 6 $3,000

Calculate the NPV, the IRR and the payback period for the Canopy project and recommend whether Canopy should go forward with the expansion project or not.

Suppose 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 7 percent, and that the maximum allowable payback and discounted payback statistics for the project are 3.5 and 4.5 years, respectively. Time: Cash flow: 0 2 3 4 5 -$5,400 $1,600 $2,800 $2,000 $2,000 $1,800 Use the MIRR decision rule to evaluate this project. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your final answer to 2 decimal places.) 6 $1,600

LEI has the following investment opportunities that are average-risk projects for the firm: Project A B C D E Cost at t = 0 $10,000 20,000 10,000 20,000 10,000 Rate of Return 16.4% 15.0% 13.2% 12.0% 11.5% Which projects should LEI accept? Why?

Consider the following cash flows: C0= -22, C1= 20, C2= 20, C3=20, C4= -40 a) Calculate both the internal rates of return on this project out of which one is (a shade above) 7% and that the other is (a shade below) 34%. b) is the project attractive if the discount rate is 5%? What is the NPV? c) Is the project attractive is the discount rate is 20%? What is the NPV? d) Is the project attractive is the discount rate is 40%? What is the NPV?
