Discuss in full detail, if you can borrow all the money you need for a project at 6 percent, doesn’t it follow that 7 percent is your cost of capital for the project?
Which of the following projects would you feel safest in accepting? Assume the opportunity cost of capital is 12% for each project.
☐(a) “Project A” that has a small, but negative, NPV.
☐(b) “Project B” that has a positive NPV when discounted at 10%.
☐(c) “Project C” that has a cost of capital that exceeds its internal rate of return.
☐(d) “Project D” that has a zero NPV when discounted at 14%.
d
Assume that you have two investment alternatives: the first project produces $125 for sure, and the second project produces $150 with probability 2/5. You can borrow $110 from your financial institution for one project (investment) if you show an asset as a collateral. Suppose that you maximize your expected profit, what would be the minimum level of collateral that make you select the safe project?
