2. Do you think the CAPM model is an appropriate way to calculate the cost of equity for these projects? Why or why not?
Yes, the CAPM model is an appropriate way to calculate the cost of equity for these projects because they are short-term and it takes into account the riskiness of each project.
5. Which of the projects are unacceptable and why?
Projects A and B are unacceptable because they both have negative Net Present Values.
7. Which project do you recommend and why? Explain why each of the projects not chosen was rejected.
I would recommend Project C because it has the highest net present value. This means that the project will add value to the company by increasing shareholder wealth and because the reinvestment rate is the WACC; it also has the highest terminal value which is the future value of the projects cash inflows. This makes project C the best one of the three projects.
I didn’t choose Projects A or B because they both had less than zero Net Present Values which wouldn’t add any value to the company.
8. For the project you have selected, which capital structure do you recommend and why?
I would recommend for Project C to have the capital structure of 20% leverage. According to the Trade-off Theory by adding the tax benefits of debt it will help to increase the value of the company. Also leverage will decrease the WACC and increase the stock price.
10. Is there anything that you think Mark is doing incorrectly or overlooking in his analysis?

    Concordia Real Estate Inc Case Study: Analysis of the Investment Opportunity

    The results of the analysis lend favourably towards accepting the investment project. First it is important to note that based on the after tax cost of borrowing and a risk premium of 3.75%, a discount rate of 8.89% was deemed appropriate for the project. The majority of the investment indicators used to value the project use discounted cash flows to determine the investment’s profitability. This technique allows for comparison amongst different investment opportunities available, as it provides the total return that is expected to be achieved over the project’s horizon in current dollar terms.…

    Goodweek Tires, Inc.

    Before reviewing all of the information there were some keys points that needed to be kept in mind when deciding whether to accept or reject the project. First, sunk costs are costs that already occurred and therefore are not incremental cash outflows. Yet, both opportunity costs and side affects must be considered. Also, erosion occurs when a new product reduces the sales and the cash flows of already existing products. However, synergy happens when a new project increases the cash flows of the project that already exists. Inflation also must be handled consistently. It must convey both the discount rate and cash flows in nominal terms or in real terms, using the simpler method.…

    Star Appliances B

    In addition to the estimation of the cost of equity, Star Appliance Company is also considering increasing their current debt ratio of 9.5% to the industry average of 19%. With a higher current debt ratio the WACC will be lower, at a rate of 8.24%. The cost of equity of each product was valued using the beta from the industry averages. The beta of the home appliance industry is 0.95, while the beta of the agricultural machinery industry is 0.88. Through the use of the CAPM model, these betas yield a cost of equity for the home appliances of 11.29% and for the agricultural machinery of 10.7%. The WACC of each individual project is then compared to the project’s IRR. The WACC of the home appliance project was found to be 10.4% and the WACC of the agricultural machinery project was calculated as 9.92%, while the IRR’s of the appliance and agricultural machinery projects were 11.29% and 10.7%, respectively. Therefore, both projects should be accepted based on the notion that the internal rate of return of each project is greater than the weighted average cost of capital.…
