Answer: See Explanation

Explanation:

The payback period for both projects would be calculated as:

Alpha Project

Cost = $530,000

Annual net cash flow = $60,000

Payback period = Cash / Annual net cash flow

= $530,000 / $60,000

= 8.83

Beta Project

Cost = $170,000

Annual net cash flow = $18,000

Payback period = Cash / Annual net cash flow

= $170,000 / $18,000

= 9.4

We can see that Alpha Project is better as the payback period is lesser than Beta project

vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

The market value of equity should be used.

Explanation:

Their are only two methods which are book value method or market value method. The market value method is preferred because the reason is that the market value gives the more accurate numerical value that the securities of the company will give which is the required rate of return to its investors. However historic cost data is not useful because the value of stock and bonds keeps changing every second in the stock exchange and their is the risk that the WACC calculated is inaccurate which implies that the project appraised is also incorrect.

So the best way to calculate the weighted cost of capital is that we should use the fair value of the securities.
