Project Risk If you can borrow all the money you need for a project at 6 percent, doesn’t it follow that 6 percent is your cost of capital for the project?
To determine: The respond to the given statement.
Introduction:
The cost of capital is the WACC (Weighted Average Cost of Capital) is the total rate of return for a company which anticipates reimbursing all their investors. It is considered as a financing resource in the target capital structure of a company and it measured in terms of weights of fractions.
Explanation of Solution
Statement: If money borrowed at 6% doesn’t it follow that 6% percent as cost of capital for the project?
“No the statement is false”
Reason:
Because the cost of capital of a project is based on the riskiness of a project. Additionally the origin of money will not considered as cost of capital.

- What Suppose your organization is deciding which of four projects to bid on. Information on each is in the table below. 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 answerarrow_forwardYou have the chance to participate in a project that produces the following cash flows: Cash Flows ($) C0 C1 C2 −3,600 5,400 −10,800 If the opportunity cost of capital is 10%, what is the NPV of the project? Would you accept the offer?arrow_forwardThe internal rate of return is defined as the: OOO rate of return a project will generate if the project is financed solely with internal funds. maximum rate of return a firm expects to earn on a project. discount rate that equates the net cash inflows of a project to zero. discount rate that causes the profitability index for a project to equal zero. discount rate which causes the net present value of a project to equal zero.arrow_forward
