Scenario Analysis Shao Industries is considering a proposed project for its capital budget. The company estimates the projects NPV is 12 million. This estimate assumes that the economy and market conditions will be average over the next few years. The companys CFO, however, forecasts there is only a 50% chance that the economy will be average. Recognizing this uncertainty, she has also performed the following scenario analysis: What are the projects expected NPV, standard deviation, and coefficient of variation?
WACC AND OPTIMAL CAPITAL BUDGET Adamson Corporation is considering four average-risk projects with the following costs and rates of return: Project Cost Expected Kate of Return 1 2,000 16.00% 2 3,000 15.00 3 5,000 13.75 4 2,000 12.30 The company estimates that it can issue debt at a rate of rd = 10%, and its tax rate is 30%. It can issue preferred stock that pays a constant dividend of 5.00 per year at 50.00 per share. Also, its common stock currently sells for 38.00 per share; the next expected dividend, D1, is 4.25, and the dividend is expected to grow at a constant rate of 5% per year. The target capital structure consists of 75% common stock, 15% debt, and 10% preferred stock. a. What is the cost of each of the capital components? b. What is Adamson's WACC? c. Only projects with expected returns that exceed WACC will be accepted. Which projects should Adamson accept?

Country Wallpapers is considering investing in one of three mutually exclusive projects, E, F, and G. The firm’s cost of capital, r, is 10%, and the risk-free rate, RF, is 2%. The firm has estimated each project’s cash flow and each project’s beta, as shown in the following table. Project (j) E F G Initial investment (CF0) -$15,000 -$11,000 -$19,000 Year (t) Cash inflows (CFt) 1 $6,000 $6,000 $ 4,000 2 6,000 4,000 6,000 3 6,000 5,000 8,000 4 6,000 2,000 12,000 Beta 1.80 1.00 0.60 a. Find the NPV of each project, using the firm’s cost of capital. Which project is preferred in this situation? b. The firm uses the following equation to determine the risk-adjusted discount rate, RADRj, for each project j: RADRj = RF + Bj x (rm -RF) Where RF = risk-free rate 2% Bj = beta of project j RADRj = risk-adjusted discount rate for project j rm = expected return on market portfolio 10% Substitute each project’s beta into this equation to determine its RADR. c. Use the RADR for each project to…
