The managers of United Medtronics are evaluating the following four projects for the coming budget period. The firm's corporate cost of capital is 14 percent. Project Cost IRR A $15,000 17% B $15,000 16% C $12,000 15% D $20,000 13% a. What is the firm's optimal capital budget? b. Now, suppose Medtronic's managers want to consider differential risk in the capital budgeting process. Project A has average risk, B has below-average risk, C has above-average risk, and D has average risk. What is the firm's optimal capital budget when differential risk is considered? (Hint: The firm's managers lower the IRR of high-risk projects by 3 percentage points and raise the IRR of low-risk projects by the same amount.)

An industry has five firms that produce identical output goods. One is a dominant firm, whose total cost as a function of its output qD is 30qD + qD^2. The other four are fringe firms, each one of which has a total cost of 20q + 2q^2 for producing q units of output. When the five firms combine to produce Q total units of output, the price at which they sell their output is P = 100 - Q. (a) Find the supply curve for an individual fringe firm (it is the same curve for each of the four fringe firms). (b) Find the residual demand curve for the dominant firm. (c) Find the dominant firm's profit-maximizing choice of output, qD*. (d) At what price P do the firms sell their outputs? (e) How much output q does each fringe firm produce?
