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.

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 $(684,000) $(585,000) Cash inflow Year 1 $275,000 $380,000 Compute the following: 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. What would happen if both projects had negative NPV totals? Which project would you choose? What do negative NPVs indicate? Explain. Should we also use the payback method to assist us in project selection? Why or why not? Explain.
Find the modified internal rate of return (MIRR) for a proposed project costing $12,513. Assume that the appropriate cost of capital for projects of this risk level, at this company is 10.96%, and the estimated cash flows for the life of the project are found in the table below. (If you calculate an MIRR of 20.22% , please enter 20.22- do not include the % symbol, and use at least two decimal places). Year 1 $7,261 Year 2 $4,832 Year 3 $9,441.2 Year 4 $13,000 Year 5 $12,638
