  1. a. If the opportunity cost of capital is 11%, which of these two projects would you accept (A, B, or both)?
  2. b. Suppose that you can choose only one of these two projects. Which would you choose? The discount rate is still 11%.
  3. c. Which one would you choose if the cost of capital is 16%?
  4. d. What is the payback period of each project?
  5. e. Is the project with the shortest payback period also the one with the highest NPV?
  6. f. What are the internal rates of return on the two projects?
  7. g. Does the IRR rule in this case give the same answer as NPV?
  8. 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?

Scenario one: Under what circumstances would it be appropriate for a firm to use different cost of capital for its different operating divisions? If the overall firm WACC was used as the hurdle rate for all divisions, would the riskier division or the more conservative divisions tend to get most of the investment projects? Why? If you were to try to estimate the appropriate cost of capital for different divisions, what problems might you encounter? What are two techniques you could use to develop a rough estimate for each division’s cost of capital?
Scenario three: If a portfolio has a positive investment in every asset, can the expected return on a portfolio be greater than that of every asset in the portfolio? Can it be less than that of every asset in the portfolio? If you answer yes to one of both of these questions, explain and give an example for your answer(s). Please Provide a Reference
