            A                     18%                 $4,000,000                  1,000,000

            B                      16%                 $1,000,000                     200,000

            C                      14%                 $5,000,000                     900,000

            D                     12%                 $2,000,000                     400,000

            E                      10%                 $3,000,000                     100,000

a.   A and C.

b.   A and E.

c.   A, B, and D.

d.   B and D.

16. Suppose it can raise the following amounts at different costs of capital. Which set of projects would maximize shareholder wealth?

                                    WACC             Amount Raised                       

                                    9%                   $10,000,000

                                    11%                 $12,000,000

                                    13%                 $15,000,000

a.   A and B.

b.   A, B, and C.

c.   A, B, and D.

d.   A, B, C, and D.

Explanation / Answer

15)

a) A and C ( insufficient capital since, a budget of 9,000,000 would be required to take up both A and C simultaneously)

b) A and E ( NPV - 1,100,000)

c)A, B and D ( NPV = 1,600,000)

d)B and D ( NPV = 600,000)

Hence choice b) would maximize the shareholder wealth by maximizing the NPV

16)

a) A and D

Capital required = 4,000,000+2,000,000 = 6,000,000

Cost of capital = 9%

NPV of A and D combined = $ 1,400,000

Net profit = $1,400,000
