The return expected from the project no. 542 is 22 percent. The standard deviation of these return is 11 percent. If returns from the project are normally distributed. What is the chance that the project will result in a rate of return above 33 percent?
You're comparing two project and need to determine which is preferred. Both projects have an expected return of 15%. Project "A" has a standard deviation of 2.5. Project "B" has a variance of 9. A risk averse investor would pick:
Question 24 options:
Project "B" because the variance for project "A" is unkown
Project "A" because it has a lower standard deviation than project "B" but the same expected return
Project "A" because the standard deviation of project "B" is unknown
Project "B" because it has a lower variance than project "A"

a) 1.32
b) 0.83
c) 1.20

- Investment Timing Option: Option Analysis Rework Problem 14-1 using the Black-Scholes model to estimate the value of the option. Assume that the variance of the project’s rate of return is 0.0687 and that the risk-free rate is 8%. 14–1 Investment Timing Option: Decision-Tree Analysis Kim Hotels is interested in developing a new hotel in Seoul. The company estimates that the hotel would require an initial investment of $20 million. Kim expects the hotel will produce positive cash flows of $3 million a year at the end of each of the next 20 years. The project’s cost of capital is 13%. a. What is the project’s net present value? b. Kim expects the cash flows to be $3 million a year, but it recognizes that the cash flows could actually be much higher or lower, depending on whether the Korean government imposes a large hotel tax. One year from now, Kim will know whether the tax will be imposed. There is a 50% chance that the tax will be imposed, in which case the yearly cash flows will be only $2.2 million. At the same time, there is a 50% chance that the tax will not be imposed, in which case the yearly cash flows will be $3.8 million. Kim is deciding whether to proceed with the hotel today or to wait a year to find out whether the tax will be imposed. If Kim waits a year, the initial investment will remain at $20 million. Assume that all cash flows are discounted at 13%. Use decision-tree analysis to determine whether Kim should proceed with the project today or wait a year before deciding.arrow_forwardAPT An analyst has modeled the stock of Crisp Trucking using a two-factor APT model.
