Answer:
a)
Project Y and Project Z
b)
Project X and Project Y
c)
Project X and Project Z
Explanation:
Apply the CAPM to calculate the required return for each project as followed:
Project W: 4% + 0.75 * (11%-4%) = 9.25%
Project X: 4% + 0.90 * (11%-4%) = 10.3%
Project Y: 4% + 1.15 * (11%-4%) = 12.05%
Project Z: 4% + 1.45 * (11%-4%) = 14.15%
So, for:
a)
Which projects have a higher expected return than the firms 11 percent cost of capital: Project Y 12.8% and Project Z 13.9% which are given.
b)
Project should be accepted is project that has expected returns higher than required return which is Project X and Project Y.
c)
Using the firm's overall cost of capital as a hurdle rate:
Project Z will be accepted which is incorrect because its Required returned is higher than its expected returns ( 14.15% > 13.9%)
Project X will be rejected which is incorrect because its Required returned is lower than its expected returns ( 10.3% < 10.8%).

In the given case, the consumer i.e Cole prefers going with a brand name as it provides him with a higher degree of assurance as the brand has a certain reputation attached to it which the other generic option lacks.
Secondly owing to his familiarity with the drug and it's past usage experience, he has developed brand loyalty apparently.
Thus, Cole's decision is attributable to <u>less risk.</u>
