United Pigpen is considering a proposal to manufacture high-protein hog feed. The project would require use of an existing warehouse, which is currently rented out to a neighboring firm. The next year's rental charge on the warehouse is $160,000, and thereafter, the rent is expected to grow in line with inflation at 4% a year. In addition to using the warehouse, the proposal envisages an investment in plant and equipment of $1.56 million. This could be depreciated for tax purposes straight-line over 10 years. However, Pigpen expects to terminate the project at the end of 8 years and to resell the plant and equipment in year 8 for $520,000. Finally, the project requires an immediate investment in working capital of $410,000. Thereafter, working capital is forecasted to be 10% of sales in each of years 1 through 7. Working capital will be run down to zero in year 8 when the project shuts down. Year 1 sales of hog feed are expected to be $5.40 million, and thereafter, sales are forecasted to grow by 5% a year, slightly faster than the inflation rate. Manufacturing costs are expected to be 90% of sales, and profits are subject to tax at 21%. The cost of capital is 12% What is the NPV of Pigpen's project?

Assume a world that meets all assumptions of the portfolio theory. In this world we solely trade in securities A and B like depicted in the graph below. Short selling is allowed. xA and XB indicate the proportions of security A and B within a portfolio respectively. P1, P2, P3 and P4 represent portfolios that can be created by trading (either long and/or short) in securhies A and B. P3 is the portfolio with the lowest risk; the risk of P3 is 0%. The risk of security A and B is measured by the standard deviation of the returns in the particular security and equals 20% for both. The correlation coefficient of the returns between A and B is -1. 40% P1 E(R) A 30% P2 20% P3 10% P4 ++ 30% 0% 10% 20% 40% O(R) Question: Indicate which statements are correct.
