- Which of the following statements is correct? a. Since investors prefer more return and less risk, one will never hold a dominated asset in the risk-return sense. In other words, if asset A has a higher expected return and lower standard-deviation than asset B, then investors would only hold asset A in their optimal portfolio. b. The IRR method correctly ranks mutually exclusive projects. c. When an investment project is evaluated today, the spending that occurred in the last year has to be included in the NPV analysis. d. The payback period criterion properly considers the time value of money. e. When there are two mutually exclusive projects, the project with the highest NPV should be chosen.Suppose a firm uses the WACC as the single hurdle rate in determining the value of capital budgeting projects rather than using risk adjusted hurdle rates. Choose the statement that actually completes the sentence describing the possible outcomes for the firm: the firm will tend to Accept profitable, low risk projects and reject unprofitable, high risk projects Accept profitable, low risk projects and accept unprofitable, high risk projects Reject profitable, low risk projects and reject unprofitable high risk projects Become less risky overtime Reject profitable, low risk projects and accept unprofitable, high risk projectsWSP Inc. is involved in a wide range of unrelated projects. The company will pursue any project that it thinks will create value for its stockholders. Consequently, the risk level of the company’s projects tends to vary a great deal from project to project. If WSP Inc. 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 increase in value. The firm’s overall risk level will increase. The firm could potentially reject projects that provide a higher rate of return than the company should require. When a project involves an entirely new product line, the firm may be able to obtain betas from to calculate a weighted average cost of capital (WACC) for its new product line. Consider the case of another company. Chrome Printing is evaluating two mutually exclusive projects. They both require a $1 million investment today and have expected NPVs of…
- Wolseley manufacturing Co. invests in a group of risky projects, which increases the unsystematic risk of the firm, but does not change the systematic risk of the firm. All else the same, the expected risk premium on its common stock is most likely to: Select one: a. Increase, because the difference between the expected return on the firm's stock and the risk-free rate will widen. b. Increase or decrease, depending on the internal rate of return of the new projects. c. Decrease, because the difference between the expected return on the firm's stock and the risk-free rate will widen. d. Decrease, because the difference between the expected return on the firm's stock and the risk-free rate will narrow. e. Remain unchanged, because the level of systematic risk is unchanged.Financial advisors generally recommend that their clients allocate more to higher risk–return asset classes (like equities) if their investment horizons are long. Is this advice consistent with the basic M-V model? Does adding a shortfall constraint to the M-V model make a difference? If so, how? If not, why not? Assuming investment opportunities change over time, what type of asset return behavior would justify this advice within the M-V framework?If you could only have one piece of information to help you understand the discount rate for evaluating a project at hand, which of the following would you prefer? The project has different systematic risk than the firm overall. Group of answer choices How the project's expected cash flows are effected by the overall economy The firm's credit rating The firm's cost of equity The firm's WACC
- ND Inc. is considering Projects S and L, whose cash flows are shown below. These projects are mutually exclusive, equally risky, and not repeatable. The CEO believes the IRR is the best selection criterion, while the CFO advocates other methods. If the decision is made by choosing the project with the higher IRR, how much, if any, value will be forgone, i.e., what's the NPV and IRR of the chosen project(s). What is the Payback period and discounted payback period?Suppose a firm uses a constant WACC in determining the value of capital budgeting projects rather than using a project beta. The firm will tend to A. accept profitable, low risk projects and reject unprofitable, high risk projects B. accept profitable, low risk projects and accept unprofitable, high risk projects C. reject profitable, low risk projects and accept unprofitable, high risk projects D. reject profitable , low risk projects and reject unprofitable, high risk projectsIf the net present value (NPV) of a project is negative: Group of answer choices accepting the project will decrease the value of the firm. the project is acceptable. the project's discounted payback period is shorter than the useful life of the project. the internal rate of return is high than the firm's required rate of return.
- Which of the following will NOT increase the value of a real (call) option? Group of answer choices: A decrease in the probability that a competitor will enter the market of the project in question. An increase in the risk-free rate A decrease in the cost of obtaining the real option Lengthening the time in which a real option must be exercised. A decrease in the volatility of the underlying source of risk.If a firm uses its weighted average cost of capital (WACC) as the discount rate for all of the projects it undertakes then the firm will tend to: I. reject some positive net present value projects. II. accept some negative net present value projects. III. favor low risk projects over high risk projects. IV. increase its overall level of risk over time. Group of answer choices I and III only III and IV only I, II, and III only I, II, and IV only I, II, III, and IVND Inc. is considering Projects S and L, whose cash flows are shown below. These projects are mutually exclusive, equally risky, and not repeatable. The CEO believes the IRR is the best selection criterion, while the CFO advocates other methods. If the decision is made by choosing the project with the higher IRR, how much, if any, value will be forgone, i.e., what's the Profitability index? Discuss your results of these methods and make a recommendation on the projects to the CEO about which one to go for and why?
