Lucky FC Ltd wants to invest in two projects, namely, A & B. The expected return on projects A & B are 12% and 20% respectively while the risk associated with project A is 13% and that of B is 7%. Lucky FC Ltd planned to invest 80% of its available funds in project A and the remaining in project B. The correlation coefficient between the returns of the projects is -0.10. Required 1) Estimate the returns from the proposed portfolio of projects A & B 2) Calculate the risk of the portfolio 3) Suppose the correlation coefficient between A & B was -1.0. How should the club invest its funds to achieve a zero-risk portfolio?

Suppose your firm is evaluating four potential new investments. You calculate that these projects, W, X, Y, and Z,have the NPV and IRR figures given below:Project W: NPV = $7,000 IRR = 13%Project X: NPV = $-4,000 IRR = 15%Project Y: NPV = $5,000 IRR = 10%Project Z: NPV = $800 IRR = 18%a) Which project(s) should be accepted if they are independent? Clearly explain your reasoning.b) Which project(s) should be accepted if they are mutually exclusive? Clearly explain your reasoning.

Connor Corporation is considering two projects (see below). For your analysis, assume these projects are mutually exclusive with a required rate of return of 12%. project 1 project 2 initial investment $(510,000) $(685,000) cash flow year 1 485,000 610,000 Compute the following for each project: NPV (net present value) PI (profitability index) IRR (internal rate of return) Based on your analysis, answer the following questions : Which is the best choice? Why? Which project should be selected and why? If the projects had the same IRR amounts but different NPV totals, then how would you know which project to select? Explain.

6. Within-firm risk and beta risk Understanding risks that affect projects and the impact of risk consideration Yatta Net International has manufacturing, distribution, retail, and consulting divisions. Projects undertaken by the manufacturing and distribution divisions tend to be low-risk projects, because these divisions are well established and have predictable demand. The company started its retail and consulting divisions within the last year, and it is unknown if these divisions will be profitable. The company knew that opening these new divisions would be risky, but its management believes the divisions have the potential to be extremely profitable under favorable market conditions. The company is currently using its WACC to evaluate new projects for all divisions. If Yatta Net International does not risk-adjust its discount rate for specific projects properly, which of the following is likely to occur over time? Check all that apply. The firm will accept too many relatively…
