A project has the following forecasted cash flows: Cash Flows ($ thousands) C0 C1 C2 C3 −180 +120 +140 +130 The estimated beta is 1.56. The market return is 16%, and the risk-free rate is 4%. a. Estimate the cost of capital for the project and the project’s PV. b. What are the certainty equivalent cash flows in each year? c. What is the ratio of the certainty-equivalent cash flow to the expected cash flow in each year?

Suppose 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. Time 1 2 3 Project A Cash Flow Project B Cash Flow -25,000 15,000 35,000 6,000 -35,000 15,000 25,000 55,000 Use the NPV decision rule to evaluate these projects; which one(s) should be accepted or rejected? Multiple Choice Accept A, reject B Accept neither A nor B Accept both A and B Reject A, accept B

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 8 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 4 -$5,000 $1,200 $2,400 $1,600 $1,600 $1,400 Use the IRR decision rule to evaluate this project. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your final onswer to 2 decimal places.) Answer is complete but not entirely correct. IRR 6 $1,200 14.00 %

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.

You invest in a project that will produce real cash flows of -$100 in year zero and then $35, $50, and $30 in the discount rate is 15% and the inflation rate is 10%, what is the NPV of the project?

Refer to two projects with the following cash flows: Year Project A Project B 0 -$110 -$110 1 45 55 2 45 55 3 45 55 4 45 If the opportunity cost of capital is 11%, what is the profitability index for each project?

A project's internal rate of return (IRR) is the discount rate YTM on a bond. The equation for calculating the IRR is: timing Project A Project B 0 1 2 CFt is the expected cash flow in Period t and cash outflows are treated as negative cash flows. There must be a change in cash flow signs to calculate the IRR. The IRR equation is simply the NPV equation solved for the particular discount rate that causes NPV to equal zero 320 255 The IRR calculation assumes that cash flows are reinvested at the IRR If the IRR is greater ✔than the project's risk-adjusted cost of capital, then the project should be accepted; however, if the IRR is less than the project's risk-adjusted cost of capital, then the project should be rejected ✓✓✓. Because of the IRR reinvestment rate assumption, when mutually exclusive projects are evaluated the IRR approach can lead to conflicting results from the NPV method. Two basic conditions can lead to conflicts between NPV and IRR: ✔ differences (earlier cash flows in…
