A yield to maturity (YTM) is the rate of return projected for a security or a bond, which is apprehended till its maturity period. It is also considered as the internal rate of return (IRR) for a security or bond and it likens the current estimation of a bond’s future cash flow to its present market cost. A coupon payment is the yearly interest payment that is remunerated to a bondholder by the issuer of the bond, until the point that the debt obligation matures. The coupon payments are cyclic payments of interest to the bondholders.

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
