Introduction:
Net present value (NPV) refers to the discounted value of the future cash flows at present. The company should accept the project, if the net present value is positive or greater than zero and vice-versa. If there are two mutually exclusive projects, then the company has to select the project that has the higher net present value.

- 36 The relationship between the payback method and the internal rate of return is that: Group of answer choices The discounted payback period is exactly the same as the IRR. The payback period is the present value factor for the IRR. A payback period of less than one-half of the life of a project will yield an IRR lower than the target rate. A project whose payback period does not meet the company’s cut-off rate for payback will not meet the company’s criterion for IRR.arrow_forwardAlternatives X and Y have rates of return of 10% and 18%, respectively.

- Question 2: Assume that the risk-free rate, RF, is currently 8%, the market return, RM, is 12%, and asset A has a beta, of 1.10. (could be done on word document or excel). Draw the security market line (SML) Use the CAPM to calculate the required return, on asset A. Assume that as a result of recent economic events, inflationary expectations have declined by 3%, lowering RF and RM to 5% and 9%, respectively. Draw the new SML on the axes in part a, and calculate and show the new required return for asset A. Assume that as a result of recent events, investors have become more risk averse, causing the market return to rise by 2%, to be14%. Ignoring the shift in part c, draw the new SML on the same set of axes that you used before, and calculate and show the new required return for asset A. From the previous changes, what conclusions can be drawn about the impact of (1) decreased inflationary expectations and (2) increased risk aversion on the required returns of risky assets?arrow_forwardQuestion 2: Assume that the risk-free rate, RF, is currently 8%, the market return, RM, is 12%, and asset A has a beta, of 1.10.

Step 1 Security market line (SML) is a graphical representation of how the approach of the capital asset pricing model (CAPM) operates. SML represents the combination of risk-free return, market return, and beta to depict the expected return of the security.
