The Ajax Company uses a portfolio approach to manage their research and development (RD) projects. Ajax wants to keep a mix of projects to balance the expected return and risk profiles of their RD activities. Consider a situation in which Ajax has six RD projects as characterized in the table. Each project is given an expected rate of return and a risk assessment, which is a value between 1 and 10, where 1 is the least risky and 10 is the most risky. Ajax would like to visualize their current RD projects to keep track of the overall risk and return of their RD portfolio. a. Create a bubble chart in which the expected rate of return is along the horizontal axis, the risk estimate is on the vertical axis, and the size of the bubbles represents the amount of capital invested. Format this chart for best presentation by adding axis labels and labeling each bubble with the project number. b. The efficient frontier of RD projects represents the set of projects that have the highest expected rate of return for a given level of risk. In other words, any project that has a smaller expected rate of return for an equivalent, or higher, risk estimate cannot be on the efficient frontier. From the bubble chart in part a, which projects appear to be located on the efficient frontier?
Lorenzo Properties is evaluating 2 opportunities, each having the same initial investment. The project's risk and return characteristics are shown below: Project Burger's expected return 0.10 & proportion invested in each project 0.45; Project Fries' expected return 0.20 & proportion invested in each project 0.55. What is the expected return of a portfolio?

Wolff Enterprises must consider several investment projects, A through E, using the capital asset pricing model (CAPM) and its graphical representation, the security market line (SML). Relevant information is presented in the following table ITEM RATE OF RETURN BETA Risk-free asset 9% 0.0 Market portfolio 14% 1.0 Project A - 1.5 Project B - 0.75 Project C - 2.00 Project D - 0.0 Project E - -0.50 Calculate (1) the required rate of return and (2) the risk premium for each project, given its level of nondiversifiable risk. Use your findings in part a to draw the security market line (required rate of return relative to nondiversifiable risk) Discuss the relative nondiversifiable risk of projects A through E. Assume that recent economic events have caused investors to become less risk-averse, causing the market return to decline to 12%. Calculate the new required returns fcor assets A through E and draw the new security market line on the same graph you drew for b. Compare your findings…

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.
