Investment criteria Consider the following two projects:
- a. If the opportunity cost of capital is 11%, which of these two projects would you accept (A, B, or both)?
- b. Suppose that you can choose only one of these two projects. Which would you choose? The discount rate is still 11%.
- c. Which one would you choose if the cost of capital is 16%?
- d. What is the payback period of each project?
- e. Is the project with the shortest payback period also the one with the highest
NPV ? - f. What are the
internal rates of return on the two projects? - g. Does the IRR rule in this case give the same answer as NPV?
- h. If the opportunity cost of capital is 11%, what is the profitability index for each project? Is the project with the highest profitability index also the one with the highest NPV? Which measure should you use to choose between the projects?

- Treasury securities are issued and backed by the U.S. government and, therefore, are considered to be the lowest-risk securities on the market. As an investor looking for protection against inflation, you are considering the purchase of inflation-adjusted bonds known as U.S. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS). With these securities, the face value (which is paid at maturity) and the bond interest rate (which is paid semiannually) is regularly adjusted to account for inflation. However, for this problem only, assume the semi-annual interest payment (called the bond dividend) remains the same. You purchased a 10-year $10,000 TIPS bond with dividend of 4% per year payable semiannually (i.e., $200 every 6 months). Assume there is no inflation adjustment for the first 5 years, but in years 6 through 10, the bond face value increases by $850 each year. You use an expected investment return of 11% per year compounded semiannually. NOTE: This is a multi-part question.
