1. Basic NPV methods tell us that the value of a project today is NPV0.  Time value of money issues also lead us to believe that if we choose not to do the project that it will be worth NPV1 one period from now, such that NPV0 > NPV1.  Why then do we see some firms choosing to defer taking on a project.  Be complete and thorough in your answer. 2. Briefly describe the agency relationship that exists between the shareholders and the managers of the firm and how it can result in what is referred to as the agency conflict?

Suppose that your organization is deciding which of four projects to bid on, as summarized in the following table. Assume that all up-front investments are not recovered, so they are shown as negative profits. Draw a diagram and calculate the EMV for each project. Write a few paragraphs explaining which projects you would bid on. Be sure to use the EMV information and your personal risk tolerance to justify your answer.

Making the accept or reject decision Hungry Whale Electronics's decision to accept or reject project Alpha is independent of its decisions on other projects. If the firm follows the NPV method, it should project Alpha. Which of the following statements best explains what it means when a project has an NPV of $0? O When a project has an NPV of $0, the project is earning a rate of return less than the project's weighted average cost of capital. It's OK to accept the project, as long as the project's profit is positive. O When a project has an NPV of $0, the project is earning a rate of return equal to the project's weighted average cost of capital. It's OK to accept a project with an NPV of $0, because the project is earning the required minimum rate of return. O When a project has an NPV of $0, the project is earning a profit of $0. A firm should reject any project with an NPV of $0, because the project is not profitable.

3. I need help with multiple choice finance home work question Which of the following statements is incorrect? If a firm's target average accounting return is less than that calculated for a given project then the project should be accepted.   If the NPV of a project is positive, it should be accepted.   If a project has a payback which is faster than the company requires the project should be accepted.   If the cost of capital is greater than the IRR, the project should be accepted.   If a project has a profitability index greater than one the project should be accepted.

4. Investment timing options Companies often need to choose between making an investment now or waiting until the company can gather more relevant information about the potential project. This opportunity to wait before making the decision is called the investment timing option. Consider the case: Tolbotics Inc. is considering a three-year project that will require an initial investment of $44,000. If market demand is strong, Tolbotics Inc. thinks that the project will generate cash flows of $29,000 per year. However, if market demand is weak, the company believes that the project will generate cash flows of only $2,000 per year. The company thinks that there is a 50% chance that demand will be strong and a 50% chance that demand will be weak. If the company uses a project cost of capital of 12%, what will be the expected net present value (NPV) of this project? (Note: Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to the nearest whole dollar.) -$7,111 O-$6,433 O-$7,788…
