Assume that the economy is in a mild recession, and as a result interest rates and money costs generally are relatively low. The WACC for two mutually exclusiveprojects that are being considered is 8%. Project S has an IRR of 20% while Project L's IRR is 15%. The projects have the same NPV at the 8% current WACC.However, you believe that the economy is about to recover, and money costs and thus your WACC will also increase. You also think that the projects will not befunded until the WACC has increased, and their cash flows will not be affected by the change in economic conditions. Under these conditions, which of thefollowing statements is CORRECT?a. You should recommend Project S, because at the new WACC it will have the higher NPV.b. You should delay a decision until you have more information on the projects, even if this means that a competitor might come in and capture this market.O c. You should recommend Project L because it will have the higher IRR at the new WACC.d. You should recommend Project L, because at the new WACC it will have the higher NPV.O e. You should reject both projects because they will both have negative NPVS under the new conditions.

Answer: Option A is the Correct Answer

Suppose your company needs $10 million to build a new assembly line. Your target debt- equity ratio is .4. The flotation cost for new equity is 10 percent, but the flotation cost for debt is only 7 percent. Your boss has decided to fund the project by borrowing money because the flotation costs are lower and the needed funds are relatively small. a. What is your company's weighted average flotation cost, assuming all equity is raised externally? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) b. What is the true cost of building the new assembly line after taking flotation costs into account? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer in dollars, not millions, rounded to the nearest whole number, e.g., 1,234,567.) Answer is complete but not entirely correct. 9.73 % a. Flotation cost b. Amount raised 11,010,000 4
Kiley Electronics is considering a project that has the following cash flow data. What is the project's IRR? Note that a project's IRR can be less than the cost of capital (and even negative), in which case it will be rejected. r: 10.00% Year 0 1 2 3 Cash flows −$1,000 $550 $560 $570
7. The NPV and payback period What information does the payback period provide? Suppose Praxis Corporation's CFO is evaluating a project with the following cash inflows. She does not know the project's initial cost; however, she does know that the project's regular payback period is 2.5 years. Year Cash Flow Year 1 $350,000 Year 2 $475,000 Year 3 $475,000 Year 4 $400,000 If the project's weighted average cost of capital (WACC) is 10%, what is its NPV? $278,324 $333,989 $292,240 $236,575 Which of the following statements indicate a disadvantage of using the discounted payback period for capital budgeting decisions? Check all that apply. ☐ The discounted payback period does not take the project's entire life into account. The discounted payback period does not take the time value of money into account. The discounted payback period is calculated using net income instead of cash flows. ☐
You invest in a project that will produce real cash flows of -$100 in year zero and then $35, $50, and $30 in the discount rate is 15% and the inflation rate is 10%, what is the NPV of the project?
I think the payback periods are correct, I just need the different cash flows of each year + the final question at the bottom. Thank you.
A firm is considering a project that will generate perpetual after-tax cash flows of $16,000 per year beginning next year. The project has the same risk as the firm's overall operations and must be financed externally. Equity flotation costs 14 percent and debt issues cost 6 percent on an after-tax basis. The firm's D/E ratio is 0.6. What is the most the firm can pay for the project and still earn its required return? Note: Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest whole dollar. Maximum the firm can pay

Huang Industries is considering a proposed project whose estimated NPV is $12 million. This estimate assumes that economic conditions will be "average." However, the CFO realizes that conditions could be better or worse, so she performed a scenario analysis and obtained these results: Economic Scenario Probability of Outcome NPV Recession 0.05 ($34 million) Below average 0.20 (16 million) Average 0.50 12 million Above average 0.20 16 million Boom 0.05 28 million Calculate the project's expected NPV, standard deviation, and coefficient of variation. Enter your answers for the project's expected NPV and standard deviation in millions. For example, an answer of $13,000,000 should be entered as 13. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to two decimal places. E(NPV): million σNPV: million CV:
You are evaluating a project that requires an investment of $97 today and garantees a single cash flow of $115 one year from now. You decide to use 100% debt financing, that is, you will borrow $97. The risk-free rate is 6% and the tax rate is 30%. Assume that the investment is fully depreciated at the end of the year, so without leverage you would owe taxes on the difference between the project cash flow and the investment, that is, $18. a. Calculate the NPV of this investment opportunity using the APV method. b. Using your answer to part (a), calculate the WACC of the project. c. Verify that you get the same answer using the WACC method to calculate NPV. d. Finally, show that flow-to-equity method also correctly gives the NPV of this investment opportunity.
