Chapter 12, Problem 5P

OPTIMAL CAPTTAL BUDGET Marble Construction estimates that its WACC is 10% if equity comes from retained earnings. However, if the company issues new stock to raise new equity, it estimates that its WACC will rise to 10.8%. The company believes that it will exhaust its retained earnings at $2,500,000 of capital due to the number of highly profitable projects available to the firm and its limited earnings. The company is considering the following seven investment projects:

Project Size IRR
A $ 650,000 14.0%
B 1,050,000 13.5
C 1,000,000 11.2
D 1,200,000 11.0
E 500,000 10.7
F 650,000 10.3
G 700,000 10.2

Assume that each of these projects is independent and that each is just as risky as the firm's existing assets. Which set of projects should be accepted, and what is the firm's optimal capital budget?

In the derivation of the option pricing formula, we required that a delta-hedged position earn the risk-free rate of return. A different approach to pricing an option is to impose the condition that the actual expected return on the option must equal the equilibrium expected return.  Suppose the risk premium on the stock is 0.03, the price of the underlying stock is 111, the call option price is 4.63, and the delta of the call option is 0.4. Determine the risk premium on the option.
General Finance
Assume an investor buys a share of stock for $18 at t = 0 and at the end of the next year (t = 1) , he buys 12 shares with a unit price of $9 per share. At the end of Year 2 (t = 2) , the investor sells all shares for $40 per share. At the end of each year in the holding period, the stock paid a $5.00 per share dividend. What is the annual time-weighted rate of return?
