Giorgio Co. is looking at an investment project with an internal rate of return of 10.8%. The initial outlay for the investment is $90,000. The hurdle rate or minimum acceptable rate of return is 10.2%.
Joliet Company is considering two alternative investments. The company requires an 18% return from its investments. Compute the IRR for both Projects and recommend one of them. For further instructions on internal rate of return in Excel, see Appendix C.
A firm evaluates all of its projects by applying the IRR rule. If the required return is 18 percent, will the firm accept the following project?CF0 = -$30,000CO1 = $20,000C02 = $14,000C03 = $11,000 yes or no
You are evaluating the following four projects: Project Beta Projected (or Expected) Return A 1.80 19.5% B 1.20 14.0% C 0.80 11.5% D 0.50 7.0% Your company’s current practice is to apply its WACC of 12% as a single hurdle rate to all projects. Under your company’s current practice, which project(s) of the four projects above would be incorrectly accepted? Currently, the 3-month Treasury bill rate is 3%, and the market risk premium is 10%. (Hint: Measure the RADRs using the CAPM.) Group of answer choices C A D B At least two of the projects are incorrectly accepted.
Talal can pick one of two investment portfolios - A and B. Each requires an initial outlay of $100,000 and each has a most likely annualrate of return of 18%. Estimated the returns associated with each investment. Past estimates indicate that the probabilities of thepessimistic, most likely, and optimistic outcomes are 30%, 50%, and 20%, respectively. Note that the sum of these probabilities mustequal 100%; that is, they must be based on all the alternatives considered.Question:1.

Consider the following two investment alternatives. Determine the range of investment costs for Alternative B (i.e., min. value < X < max. value) that will convince an investor to select Alternative B. MARR = 10% per year, and other relevant data are shown in the following table. State clearly any assumptions that are necessary to support your answer.
ABC Company is using net present value analysis at various discount rates in order to determine the internal rate of return of an investment proposal. NPV using a discount rate of 12 percent = $2,095 NPV using a discount rate of 14 percent = $(2,108) By interpolating these results, an approximate internal rate of return on the investment is estimated to be percent. (Round your answer to the nearest whole percentage.)
