question 53

True/False

Assume the following: (1)A firm is considering two projects,one with a 5-year life and the other with a 10-year life;(2)the cash flows of the two projects are equally risky by all definitions of the word "risky";(3)the company uses 40 percent debt and 60 percent equity to finance the projects;(4)the debt used to finance any given project has a maturity equal to the life of the project;and (5)the term structure of interest rates has a sharp upward slope.This would suggest,other things held constant,that a lower discount rate should be used to find the NPV for the 5-year project than for the 10-year project.
