  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?

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?
