Division A’s cost of capital is 10. 0%, Division B’s cost is 14. 0%, and the composite WACC is 12. 0%. All of Division A’s projects have the same risk, as do all of Division B’s projects. However, the projects in Division A have less risk than those in Division B. Which of the following projects should Jackson accept? Choose one answer. a. A Division B project with a 13% return. | | | b. A Division B project with a 12% return. | | | c. A Division A project with an 11% return. | | | d. A Division A project with a 9% return. | | | e. A Division B project with an 11% return. | | The correct answer is statement c. Division A should accept only projects with a return greater than 10%, and Division B should accept only projects with a return greater than 14%. Only statement c meets this criterion. Correct Marks for this submission: 1/1. Question 4 Marks: 1 Which of the following statements is CORRECT? Choose one answer. a. In the WACC calculation, we must adjust the cost of preferred stock (the market yield) to reflect the fact that 70% of the dividends received by corporate investors are excluded from their taxable income. | | | b. We should use historical measures of the component costs from prior financings when estimating a company’s WACC for capital budgeting purposes. | | | c. The cost of new equity (re) could possibly be lower than the cost of retained earnings (rs) if the market risk premium, risk-free rate, and the company’s beta all decline by a sufficiently large amount. | | | d.

Its cost of retained earnings is the rate of return stockholders require on a firm’s common stock. | | | e. The component cost of preferred stock is expressed as rp(1 ? T), because preferred stock dividends are treated as fixed charges, similar to the treatment of interest on debt. | | Correct Marks for this submission: 1/1.

Assume that the project being considered has normal cash flows, with one outflow followed by a series of inflows. Choose one answer. | a.

A project’s NPV is found by compounding the cash inflows at the IRR to find the terminal value (TV), then discounting the TV at the WACC. | | | b. The lower the WACC used to calculate it, the lower the calculated NPV will be. | | | c. If a project’s NPV is less than zero, then its IRR must be less than the WACC. | | | d. If a project’s NPV is greater than zero, then its IRR must be less than zero. | | | e. The NPV of a relatively low risk project should be found using a relatively high WACC. | | Correct Marks for this submission: 1/1. Question 2 Marks: 1 Which of the following statements is CORRECT? Choose one answer. | a.

One defect of the IRR method is that it does not take account of cash flows over a project’s full life. | | | b. One defect of the IRR method is that it does not take account of the time value of money. | | | c. One defect of the IRR method is that it does not take account of the cost of capital. | | | d. One defect of the IRR method is that it values a dollar received today the same as a dollar that will not be received until some time in the future. | | | e. One defect of the IRR method is that it assumes that the cash flows to be received from a project can be reinvested at the IRR itself, and that assumption is often not valid. | The IRR assumes reinvestment at the IRR, and that is generally not as valid as assuming reinvestment at the WACC, as with the NPV. Correct Marks for this submission: 1/1. Question 3 Marks: 1 Which of the following statements is CORRECT? Choose one answer. | a. The regular payback method recognizes all cash flows over a project’s life. | | | b. The discounted payback method recognizes all cash flows over a project’s life, and it also adjusts these cash flows to account for the time value of money. | | | c. The regular payback method was, years ago, widely used, but virtually no companies even calculate the payback today. | | d. The regular payback is useful as an indicator of a project’s liquidity because it gives managers an idea of how long it will take to recover the funds invested in a project. | | | e. The regular payback does not consider cash flows beyond the payback year, but the discounted payback overcomes this defect. | | Statement d is true. The payback does indicate how long it should take to recover the investment, hence it is a measure of liquidity. Correct Marks for this submission: 1/1. Question 4 Marks: 1 Which of the following statements is CORRECT?

Assume that the project being considered has normal cash flows, with one outflow followed by a series of inflows. Choose one answer. | a. If Project A has a higher IRR than Project B, then Project A must have the lower NPV. | | | b. If Project A has a higher IRR than Project B, then Project A must also have a higher NPV. | | | c. The IRR calculation implicitly assumes that all cash flows are reinvested at the WACC. | | | d. The IRR calculation implicitly assumes that cash flows are withdrawn from the business rather than being reinvested in the business. | | | e.

If a project has normal cash flows and its IRR exceeds its WACC, then the project’s NPV must be positive. | | Correct Marks for this submission: 1/1. Question 5 Marks: 1 Which of the following statements is CORRECT? Choose one answer. | a. If a project with normal cash flows has an IRR greater than the WACC, the project must have a positive NPV. | | | b. If Project A’s IRR exceeds Project B’s, then A must have the higher NPV. | | | c. A project’s MIRR can never exceed its IRR. | | | d. If a project with normal cash flows has an IRR less than the WACC, the project must have a positive NPV. | | | e.

If the NPV is negative, the IRR must also be negative. | | Correct Marks for this submission: 1/1. Question 6 Marks: 1 Which of the following statements is CORRECT? Choose one answer. | a. The IRR method appeals to some managers because it gives an estimate of the rate of return on projects rather than a dollar amount, which the NPV method provides. | | | b. The discounted payback method eliminates all of the problems associated with the payback method. | | | c. When evaluating independent projects, the NPV and IRR methods often yield conflicting results regarding a project’s acceptability. | | d. To find the MIRR, we discount the TV at the IRR. | | | e. A project’s NPV profile must intersect the X-axis at the project’s WACC. | | Correct Marks for this submission: 1/1.

Question 12 Marks: 1 Last month, Smith Systems Inc. decided to accept the project whose cash flows are shown below. However, before actually starting the project, the Federal Reserve took actions that lowered interest rates and therefore Smith’s WACC. By how much did the change in the WACC affect the project’s forecasted NPV?

Assume that the Fed action does not affect the cash flows, and note that a project’s projected NPV can be negative, in which case it should be rejected.

Choose one answer. | a. Changes in net operating working capital. | | | b. Shipping and installation costs. | | | c. Cannibalization effects. | | | d. Opportunity costs. | | | e. Sunk costs that have been expensed for tax purposes. | | Correct Marks for this submission: 1/1. Question 2 Marks: 1 Which of the following statements is CORRECT? Choose one answer. | a. Using MACRS depreciation rather than straight line would normally have no effect on a project’s total projected cash flows but it would affect the timing of the cash flows and thus the NPV. | | | b.

Under current laws and regulations, corporations must use straight-line depreciation for all assets whose lives are 5 years or longer. | | | c. Corporations must use the same depreciation method (e. g. , straight line or MACRS) for stockholder reporting and tax purposes. | | | d. Since depreciation is not a cash expense, it has no affect on cash flows and thus no affect on capital budgeting decisions. | | | e. Under MACRS depreciation rules, higher depreciation charges occur in the early years, and this reduces the early cash flows and thus lowers a project’s projected NPV. | | Correct Marks for this submission: 1/1. Question 3 Marks: 1

Which of the following does NOT have incremental cash flow effects and thus should NOT be considered in capital budgeting decisions? Choose one answer. | a. A firm has a parcel of land that can be used for a new plant site, be sold, or be used for agricultural purposes. | | | b. A new product will generate new sales, but some of those new sales will be from customers who switch from one of the firm’s current products. | | | c. A firm must obtain new equipment for the project, and $1 million of costs for shipping and installing the new machinery will be required. | | | d. A firm has spent $2 million on R&D associated with a new product.

These costs have been expensed for tax purposes, and they cannot be recovered if the new project is rejected. | | | e. A firm can produce a new product, and the existence of that product will stimulate sales of some of the firm’s other products. | | Correct Marks for this submission: 1/1. Question 4 Marks: 1 Which of the following rules is CORRECT for capital budgeting analysis? Choose one answer. | a. The interest paid on funds borrowed to finance a project must be included in the project’s estimated cash flows. | | | b. Only incremental cash flows are relevant when making accept/reject decisions. | | c. Sunk costs are not included in the annual cash flows, but they must be deducted from the PV of the project’s other costs when reaching the accept/reject decision. | | | d. A proposed project’s estimated net income as determined by the firm’s accountants, using generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), is discounted at the WACC, and if the PV of this income stream exceeds the project’s cost, the project should be accepted. | | | e. If a product is competitive with some of the firm’s other products, this fact should be incorporated into the estimate of the relevant cash flows.

However, if the new product is complementary to some of the firm’s other products, this will have no effect on the cash flows used in the analysis. | | Correct Marks for this submission: 1/1. Question 5 Marks: 1 Which of the following statements is CORRECT? Choose one answer. | a. Sensitivity analysis is a good way to measure market risk because it explicitly takes into account diversification effects. | | | b. One advantage of sensitivity analysis relative to scenario analysis is that it explicitly takes into account the probability of specific effects occurring, whereas scenario analysis cannot account for probabilities. | | c. Well-diversified stockholders do not need to consider market risk when determining required rates of return. | | | d. Market risk is important, but it does not have a direct effect on stock prices because it only affects beta. | | | e. Simulation analysis is a computerized version of scenario analysis where input variables are selected randomly on the basis of their probability distributions. | | Correct Marks for this submission: 1/1.
