Security Market Line and Weighted Average Cost of Capital. An all-equity firm is considering the following projects: Project Beta Expected return W 0.79 9.7 % X 0.92 8.5 Y 1.14 10.3 Z 1.34 13.4 The T-bill rate is 7 percent, and the expected return on the market is 10 percent. Which projects should be accepted? Type in the number corresponding to your answer. 1. Projects X and Y. 2. Projects W and X. 3. Projects W and Z. 4. Projects X, Y and W 5. None

You will use the following information for the rest of the assignment (for anything that is not updated in later questions). You are trying to determine what would happen to your firm's WACC if you take on a new project. Your capital structure consists of 23% debt with a cost of 7% and a beta of 0.3. The market return is 12.5% and the risk-free rate is 2.5%. Your firm has invested in three projects, with 40% in project 1 (beta of 1.06), 15% in project 2 (beta of 1.51), and 45% in project 3 (beta of 1.95). The tax rate is 20%. First, what is your current WACC? Input your answer in decimal (not percentage) scale, rounded to three decimal places (12.11% should be entered as 0.121)

Suppose you are the financial manager of a company, and there are three potential projects for investment. The risk free rate is 2%. The market risk premium is 6%. The beta of the company is 0.6. You need to invest $100 today for Project A, and project A is expected to provide a cash flow of $6 a share forever. The beta for this project is 0.75. You need to invest $105 today for Project B, and project B is expected pay $3.5 next year. Thereafter, payment growth is expected to be 3% a year forever. The beta for this project is 0.7. You need to invest $175 today for project C, and project C is expected to pay $1.25, $3.80, and $3.00 over the next three years, respectively. Starting in year 4 and thereafter, dividend growth is expected to be 3.5% a year forever. The beta for this project is 0.5. (a1) What's the expected return of the market portfolio? And what's the beta for this market portfolio? (a2) What is the discount rate for each project? (a3) which project(s) will you invest?

A firm estimates that the WACC for the coming year's budget cycle will be 12.00% for projects of average risk. The firm adds 2.5 percentage points to its WACC for high-risk projects and subtracts 2.5 percentage points for low-risk projects. Project Cost Risk Rate of Return A $5.6 million High 14.0% B $4.7 million Average 13.5% C $7.5 million Low 11.0% D $2.8 million High 15.0% Which of the projects should the firm accept, and what is the resulting budget for the year?
