          NPV           3.75

Project B should be accepted

Explanation:

In this case, we need to discount the cash inflow of plan A at 12.3% for 1 year and then deduct the initial outlay from the present value of cash inflow. The discount factor could be derived from the present value table.

For plan B, we will discount the cash inflow at 12.3% for 20 years. In this case, we will use the annuity factor for 20 years.  Thereafter, we will multiply the cashflow by the annuity factor for 20 years to obtain the present value. The initial outlay will be deducted from the present value so as to obtain the net present value(NPV).

The annuity factor can be obtained from the present value of annuity table.

The project with the higher NPV will be accepted.

kicyunya [14]

Answer:

I) The firm will reject good low-risk projects

II) The firm will accept poor high-risk projects

Explanation:

<h2>Cost of Capital:</h2>
  • The required return on the existing firm assets. It is based on the risk of assets.
  • The risk of firm’s overall assets is equal to the weighted average risks of firm’s debt, preferred stock and common equity.
  • The cost of capital of a firm equals the weighted average of the cost of debt, the cost of preferred stock, and the cost of common equity

Each project has different risk profiles, using one cost of capital for project evaluation might provide misleading results and the investor or company may end up accepting high risk projects or may reject low risk good projects.
