5. Risk analysis in capital budgeting Projects differ in risk, and risk analysis is a critical component of the capital budgetin

g process. Consider the case of United Recycling Inc.: United Recycling Inc. is one of the largest recyclers of glass and paper products in the United States. The company is looking into expanding into the cardboard recycling business. The company’s CFO has performed a detailed analysis of the proposed expansion. The selling price of recycled cardboard can fluctuate dramatically, depending on the market conditions. By creating models that used different assumptions for the selling price of recycled cardboard but keeping all other inputs in the model the same, the CFO demonstrated the effect of fluctuations in the price of recycled cardboard. Based on the information given, determine which of the statements is correct. The company’s CFO was conducting a sensitivity analysis on the project’s financial model. The company’s CFO performed a scenario analysis on the project’s financial model. Evaluating risk is an important part of the capital budgeting process. Which of the following is measured by its effect on the firm’s beta coefficient? Risk-adjusted cost of capital Market, or beta, risk Corporate, or within-firm, risk Stand-alone risk When dealing with , diversification is totally ignored.

Answer:

A. Market, or beta, risk

Explanation:

i.e when the CFO adjusts the cost per ton of processing the cardboard, the project’s NPV will decrease.

Solution 2 :- The correct answer is (B) I.e Corporate or with in firm risk

a project's risk to the corporation as opposed to its investors

Solution 3 :- Stand alone risk

Stand alone risk is measured by the variability of the project's expected returns - diversification is totally ignored

A company using the periodic inventory system has inventory costing $210 on hand at the beginning of a period. During the period
Delvig [45]

Answer:

$685

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Cost of inventory at the beginning of the year = $210

Cost of merchandise purchased = $635

Inventory at the end of the year = $160

Now,

cost of goods sold for the year

= Beginning inventory + Cost of merchandise purchased - Ending inventory

or

Cost of goods sold for the year = $210 + $635 - $160

or

Cost of goods sold for the year = $685

James purchased liability insurance with a $100,000 limit from insurer A. To add more coverage, he bought a second liability pol
padilas [110]

Answer:A. $24,000

B. 36,000

Explanation:

The loss incurred by James is less than his coverage with each of the insurer.

The sum is apportioned on pro rata basis on the ratio of total insured.

$100,000 + $150,000=$250,000

A share is $100,000/$250,000/* $60,000

A= $24,000

B= $100,000/$250,000*$60,000

= $36,000

Suppose that there are many stocks in the security market and that the characteristics of stocks A and B are given as follows: S
Tomtit [17]

Answer:

0.135 or 13.5%

Explanation:

Given in the question are the following:

ERA = Expected return of Stock A = 12% = 0.12

ERB = Expected return of Stock B = 19% = 0.19

SDA = Standard deviation of Stock A = 3% = 0.03

SDB = Standard deviation of Stock B = 9% = 0.09

CAB = Correlation between A and B = -1

The correlation of -1 between Stock A and Stock B indicates that there a perfect negative correlation between the two stocks. Therefore, we can create a risk-free portfolio which its rate of return will be the risk-free rate in equilibrium.  

If we let wA denotes the proportion of investment in Stock A, and let wB denotes the proportion of investment in Stock B, the proportion of this portfolio can be obtained by setting its standard deviation equal to zero. Since there is a perfect negative correlation, the standard deviation of this portfolio (SDP) can be given as follows:

Absolute value [(wA × SDA) – (wB × SDB)] = SDP …………………………………….. (1)

Note that wB = (1 – wA) since the sum of the weight must be equal to 1.

Substituting all the relevant values into equation and set SDP = 0, we have  

[(0.03 × wA) − (0.11 × (1 - wA))] = 0

0.03wA – 0.11 + 0.11wA = 0

0.03wA + 0.11wA = 0.11

0.14wA = 0.11

wA = 0.11 ÷ 0.14 = 0.785714285714286

Since wB = 1 –wA, therefore:

wB = 1 - 0.785714285714286 = 0.214285714285714

The expected rate of return of the portfolio (ERP) can be estimated as follows:

ERP = (wA × ERA) + (wB × ERB)  ................................. (2)

Substituting all the relevant values into equation (2), we have:

ERP = (0.785714285714286 × 0.12) + (0.214285714285714 × 0.19)  

       = 0.0942857142857143 + 0.0407142857142857

ERP = 0.135 or 13.5%

Therefore, the value of the risk-free rate must be 13.5%.

pogonyaev

Answer:

Explanation:

Present value is calculated as the discounted sum of either a fixed amount or a series of payments in the future, at a given interest rates.

For example, at an interest of 5%, $100 in 10 years will be valued at $100 / 1.05^10 = $61.39 today
