- You look at the rate of returns, and the betas of different capital investment options. To determine which should be pursued, you will look at Internal Rate of Return, the Capital Asset Pricing Model (Security Market Line), and the Weighted Average Cost of Capital. The expected return on the market is 12%, and the risk-free rate is 5%. Project Z: return = 17.0%, beta = 1.81 Project X: return = 10.5%, beta = .90 Project W: return = 10.0%, beta = .55 Project Y: return = 14.0%, beta = 1.10 a.

- K Internal rate of return and modified internal rate of return For the project shown in the following table,, calculate the internal rate of return (IRR) and modified internal rate of return (MIRR). If the cost of capital is 13.04%, indicate whether the project is acceptable according to IRR and MIRR. The project's IRR is %. (Round to two decimal places.)

- Start with the partial model in the file Ch10 P23 Build a Model.xlsx on the textbooks Web site. Gardial Fisheries is considering two mutually exclusive investments. The projects expected net cash flows are as follows: a. If each projects cost of capital is 12%, which project should be selected? If the cost of capital is 18%, what project is the proper choice? b. Construct NPV profiles for Projects A and B. c. What is each projects IRR? d. What is the crossover rate, and what is its significance? e. What is each projects MIRR at a cost of capital of 12%? At r = 18%? (Hint: Consider Period 7 as the end of Project Bs life.) f. What is the regular payback period for these two projects? g.
