Question 1: Midwest Water Works estimates that its WACC is 10.57%. The company is considering the following capital budgeting projects.

Assume that each of these projects is just as risky as the firm's existing assets and that the firm may accept all the projects or only some of them. Which set of projects should be accepted or rejected?

Project	Size	Rate of Return
A	$1 million	12.0%
B	2 million	11.5
C	2 million	11.2
D	2 million	11.0
E	1 million	10.7
F	1 million	10.3
G	1 million	10.2

Question 2:

Adamson Corporation is considering four average-risk projects with the following costs and rates of return:

Project	Cost		Expected Rate of Return
1	$2,000		16.00%
2	3,000		15.00
3	5,000		13.75
4	2,000		12.50

The company estimates that it can issue debt at a rate of r_d = 10%, and its tax rate is 25%. It can issue preferred stock that pays a constant dividend of $4.00 per year at $50.00 per share. Also, its common stock currently sells for $38.00 per share; the next expected dividend, D₁, is $4.25; and the dividend is expected to grow at a constant rate of 6% per year. The target capital structure consists of 75% common stock, 15% debt, and 10% preferred stock.
