Question 3
10 / 10 pts
You are evaluating a project with the following cash flows: initial investment is $-22, and the expected
cash flows for years 1 - 3 are $17, $10 and $11 (all cash flows are in millions of dollars). What is this
projects NPV? The company's WACC is 14%.
Express your answer in millions of dollars, rounded to 2 decimals and without the dollar sign. So, if your
answer is 23.5678, just enter 23.57.
You are evaluating a project with an initial investment of $15.9 million dollars, and expected cash flows
of $7 million dollars each for years 1-3. What is the project's simple payback? The corporate WACC is
7%.
Express your answer in years, rounded to 2 decimals. So, if your answer is 2.7654, then just enter 2.77.
Which of the following statements is CORRECT? Assume that all projects being considered have normal
cash flows and are equally risky.

If a project's IRR is equal to its WACC, then, under all reasonable conditions, the project's NPV must be negative.
If a project's IRR is equal to its WACC, then under all reasonable conditions, the project's IRR must be negative.
Correct!
If a project's IRR is equal to its WACC, then under all reasonable conditions the project's NPV must be zero.
There is no necessary relationship between a project's IRR, its WACC, and its NPV.
When evaluating mutually exclusive projects, those projects with relatively long lives will tend to have relatively high
NPVs when the cost of capital is relatively high.
The definition of IRR is the discount rate at which NPV is zero. Thus, this statement is true, all others are
not.
Question 4
10 / 10 pts
The new NPV will be lower than $100
Correct!
The new NPV will be higher than $100
Since taxes affect many things, it is not possible to tell.
The NPV will not change. Taxes do not affect the value of a project.
There is too little information to make a forecast.
Question 5
14 / 14 pts
Correct!
12.25
Suppose that you calculate the NPV of a project, and obtain a value of $100 million dollars. After
completing your analysis, you find out that the corporate tax rate will change from 40% to 30%. If nothing
else changes, what is the effect of this tax change on the NPV you had calculated? Assume that your
company has no debt.
You're evaluating a project with the following cash flows: initial investment is $119 million dollars, and
cash flows for years 1-3 are $14, $60 and $89 million dollars, respectively. The firm's WACC is 6%. What
is this project's MIRR?
Enter your answer as a percentage, rounded to 2 decimals, without the percentage sign. So, if your
answer is 0.115678, just enter 11.57.

Correct Answer
12.25 margin of error +/- 0.1
Question 6
10 / 10 pts
Correct!
The firm should reject the project, as the IRR is lower than the WACC.
The firm should accept the project, as the IRR is higher than the WACC.
The firm should accept the project, as the NPV is positive.
The firm should accept the project, as the NPV is negative.
None of these statements are true.
Question 7
10 / 10 pts
The firm should accept the project, as the IRR is lower than the WACC.
The firm should reject the project, as the IRR is higher than the WACC.
Correct!
The firm should accept the project, as the NPV is positive.
The firm should reject the project, as the NPV is negative.
None of these statements are true.
Question 8
10 / 10 pts
Assume a new project requires an initial investment of $10 million dollars, with ensuing cash flows of $2,
$4 and $5 million in years 1, 2 and 3. Assuming the company's WACC is 10%, which of the following
statements is true?
Assume a new project requires an initial investment of $6 million dollars, with ensuing cash flows of $1,
$3 and $5 million in years 1, 2 and 3. Assuming the company's WACC is 10%, which of the following
statements is true?
From a WACC calculation prepared for you by a consultant, you find that their estimation of the after tax
cost of debt is 6%. Given a tax rate of 40% and a WACC of 15%, what must have been the cost of debt
before adjusting for taxes?

A company's perpetual preferred stock currently sells for $92.50 per share, and it pays an $8.00 annual
dividend. If the company were to sell a new preferred issue, it would incur a flotation cost of 5.00% of the
issue price. What is the firm's cost of preferred stock?
Note: when flotation costs are given as a percentage instead of in dollar terms, the denominator in the
formula changes from (P-F) to P*(1-F).
Hint: remember that for preferred stock the growth rate of the dividend is zero.

Paying variable costs
Paying fixed costs
Paying taxes
Investing in corporate projects
Correct!
Paying a dividend to stock holders
Question 13
10 / 10 pts
It is not. Both sources of capital are the same, and represent owner's equity.
Because new common stock is riskier than retained earnings, and therefore more expensive.
Actually, since retained earnings are real money, while stock is only shares of the company, retained using earnings is
more expensive.
Correct!
Because of flotation, i.e.: the added cost of selling the new shares of stock.
Because stock gains pay higher taxes than retained earnings.
Question 14
14 / 14 pts
Correct!
13.14
Correct Answer
13.14 margin of error +/- 0.1
Why is issuing common stock more expensive than using retained earnings?
A firm wishes to issue new shares of its stock, which already trades in the market. The current stock
price is $29, the most recent dividend was $2 per share, and the dividend is expected to grow at a rate
of 5% forever. Flotation costs for this issue are expected to be 11%. What is the required rate of return
(or financing cost) in this new issue?
Note: when flotation costs are given as a percentage instead of in dollar terms, the denominator in the
formula changes from (P-F) to P*(1-F).
Enter your answer as a percentage, without the percentage sign ('%'), and rounded to two decimals. So,
if your answer is 0.123456, enter 12.34.

Which of the following is the reason why we deduct taxes to the cost of debt when calculating the
WACC?
Assume that you are on the financial staff of Vanderheiden Inc., and you have collected the following
data: The company's cost of debt (YTM) is 7.75%, its tax rate is 40%, the next expected dividend is
$0.65 a share, the dividend is expected to grow at a constant rate of 6.00% a year, the price of the stock
is $15.00 per share, the flotation cost for selling new shares is F = 10%, and the target capital structure
is 45% debt and 55% common equity. What is the firm's WACC, assuming it must issue new stock to
finance its capital budget?
Note: when flotation costs are given as a percentage instead of in dollar terms, the denominator in the
formula changes from (P-F) to P*(1-F).

Enter your answer as a number (not a percentage), rounded to 2 decimals. If the answer is negative, use
the minus sign ('-').
An investor is analyzing four stocks as potential investments to add to their portfolio. The investor has
analyzed each stock, and has strong beliefs about the return that each could offer, calling those
'anticipated returns'. Given the information in the table below, and assuming the anticipated returns are

A machine classified by the IRS so that it's depreciation can be calculated with the following
percentages: 33%, 45%, 15% and 7%, for years 1 to 4, respectively. After being used for 5 years, what is
the percentage of the value still left to be depreciated?
Your company is considering the purchase of a new machine. After 4 years of operation, you would sell
the machine for a salvage value of $41,347. However, at that time the machine would not have been
depreciated to a value of 0, but have a remnant book value of $15,407. The operation of the machine
requires additional NOWC of $33,525, which would not change throughout the project. The firm's
corporate tax rate is 40%. What is the project's Terminal Cash Flow?
Enter your answer in dollars, rounded to 2 decimals, without the dollar sing. So, if your answer is
12,345.6789, just enter 12345.68.
