Question 2
Assume that you are comparing two mutually exclusive projects. Which of the following statements is most correct?
Question 2 options:
The NPV and IRR rules will always lead to the same decision unless one or both of the projects are "non-normal" in the sense of having only one change of sign in the cash flow stream, i.e., one or more initial cash outflows (the investment) followed by a series of cash inflows.
If a conflict exists between the NPV and the IRR, the conflict can always be eliminated by dropping the IRR and replacing it with the MIRR.
There will be a meaningful (as opposed to irrelevant) conflict only if the projects' NPV profiles cross, and even then, only if the cost of capital is to the left of (or lower than) the discount rate at which the crossover occurs.
All of the above are true.
None of the above are true.
Question 3
Which of the following statement completions is incorrect? For a profitable firm, when MACRS accelerated depreciation is compared to straight-line depreciation, MACRS accelerated allowances produce

Larger total undiscounted profits from the project over the project's life.
Smaller accounting profits in the early years, assuming the company uses the same depreciation method for tax and book purposes.

the long run growth rate is postive

Question 5
A company has determined that its optimal capital structure consists of 40 percent debt and 60 percent equity. Given the following information, calculate the firm's weighted average cost of capital. Cost of Debt = 6.5%, Tax rate = 40%, Current Stock Price = $27.56, Long Run Growth rate= 7.5%, Next Year's Dividend = $2.45.Show your answer to the nearest .1%.Do not use the % sign in your answer.Enter your answer as a whole number, thus 9.2% would be 9.2 rather than .092 or 9.2%.

Question 6
A firm is considering the purchase of an asset whose risk is greater than the current risk of the firm, based on any method for assessing risk. In evaluating this asset, the decision maker should
Question 6 options:
Increase the IRR of the asset to reflect the greater risk.

Reject the asset, since its acceptance would increase the risk of the firm.
Ignore the risk differential if the asset to be accepted would comprise only a small fraction of the total assets of the firm.
Increase the cost of capital used to evaluate the project to reflect the higher risk of the project.

Virus Stopper Inc., a supplier of computer safeguard systems, uses a cost of capital of 12 percent to evaluate average-risk projects, and it adds or subtracts 1 percentage points to evaluate projects of more or less risk. Currently, two mutually exclusive projects are under consideration. Both have a cost of $ 348 and will last 4 years. Project A, a riskier-than-average project, will produce annual end of year cash flows of $ 78 . Project B, of less than average risk, will produce cash flows of $ 241 at the end of Years 3 and 4 only. To the nearest .01, list the NPV of the higher NPV project.

Question 21
Will's Winery is consideringopening a winery near campus.To open the winery, they must purchase $270 in equipment.Shipping of the equipment will cost $60 and installation of the equipment will be $50.Will's Winery will lease a building for $335 per year.The building will need modifications costing $100, but these will be paid by the landlord.The modifications and equipment are depreciated using the 5-year MACRS schedule.Will's Winery will operate the winery for four years, and then expects to sell the winery to an investor for $600 plus any working capital.The firm will have some one-time expenses in year 1 of $170, primarily licenses and legal fees.To operate the winery, Will's Winery will need an increase in Inventory of $27, an increase of Accounts Receivables of $14, and will have an increase in Accounts Payable of $19.Working capital will be recovered when we sell the winery.
Annual sales will begin at $500, the increase at $700 per year.Thus year 2 sales are $1200, year 3 are $1900 and year 4 are $2600.Cost of Goods Sold (excluding overhead, depreciation, and lease payments) are 50% of annual sales.To operate the company, executives and administrators must be hired, at an annual fixed cost of $450.
