For a typical project evaluation with initial investment at time=0 and positive cash flows afterwards, each statement in the following shows possible answers in parenthesis. Choose the answer that shows correct answers for all statements. Statement 1: When NPV = 0, investors earn (negative/zero/positive) return. Statement 2: Accept the project when valuation is (higher/the same/lower) than the cost. Statement 3: When IRR> cost of capital, NPV is (negative/zero/positive). Statement 4: Cost of capital is determined by the (company/investors) considering the (business risk/systematic) risk) a. negative, higher, positive, investors and systematic b. positive, lower, positive, investors and business c. positive, higher, zero, company and systematic d. positive, higher, positive, investors and systematic
1. Brown and Company uses the internal rate of return (IRR) method to evaluate capital projects. Brown is considering four independent projects with the following IRRs: Project IRR I 10% II 12% III 14% IV 15% Brown’s cost of capital is 13%. Considering these projects are risker than average, a 1.5% adjustment is made to the cost of capital. Which one of the following project options should Brown accept based on IRR? Group of answer choices Projects III and IV only. Projects I and II only. Projects I, II, III and IV. Project IV only.
The general decision rule in Internal Rate of Return (IRR) is; Group of answer choices Accept projects with an IRR greater than the firm’s cost of capital. Accept all projects with an IRR of 1% or more. Reject all projects with an IRR greater than the firm’s cost of capital. Reject all projects with an IRR of less than 20%

Wolff Enterprises must consider one investment project using the capital asset pricing model (CAPM). Relevant information is presented in the following table. Item Rate of return Beta, b Risk-free asset 9% 0.00 Market portfolio 14% 1.00 Project 1.74 a. Calculate the required rate of return for the project, given its level of nondiversifiable risk. b. Calculate the risk premium for the project, given its level of nondiverisifiable risk.
Which of the following projects would you feel safest in accepting? Assume the opportunity cost of capital is 12% for each project. ☐(a) “Project A” that has a small, but negative, NPV. ☐(b) “Project B” that has a positive NPV when discounted at 10%. ☐(c) “Project C” that has a cost of capital that exceeds its internal rate of return. ☐(d) “Project D” that has a zero NPV when discounted at 14%. d
Assume CAPM holds and you have the following information regarding three investment opportunities:Project 1 has a project beta of 2.0 and you have estimated that the project’s NPV using a cost of capital of 20% equals zero. Project 2 has a project beta of 1.5 and its NPV using a cost of capital of 10% equals zero. Lastly, project 3 has a project beta of 1.0 and its NPV equals zerousing a cost of capital of 6%. None of these projects are ‘scale-enhancing’ for the firm, i.e. they are different than the regular operations the firm currently maintains. As the head of the capital budgeting department you are trying to decide which projects should be accepted.The company has a levered equity beta of 0.8 and a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.5, which the company is planning to maintain for the foreseeable future. The company currently faces a 40% tax rate. G Given that the expected return on the market portfolio is 8% and the risk-free rate is 3%, which projects would you accept and why? (Assume…
