question 97

Essay

Michigan Industries has three projects under consideration.Project L is a lower-than-average-risk project,project A is an average-risk project,and project H is a higher-than-average-risk project.You have gathered the following information to determine if one or more of these projects has an acceptable rate of return for the firm.
• Sources of financing 50% debt and 50% equity
• Rd = 8.00% before taxes
• Tax Rate = 30%
• Average beta for Michigan Industries = 1.0
• Rm = 13.00%
• Rf = 4.00%
• Adjusted WACC = 9.30%
• Beta for project L = 0.80,for project A = 1.00,and for project H = 1.20
• IRRL = 9.00%,IRRA = 10.00%,and IRRH = 11.00%
Calculate the required rate of return for each project and determine which,if any,projects are acceptable to the firm.

Acquisition

The process of acquiring or gaining knowledge, skills, or objects. In psychology, it often refers to the initial stages of learning.

Classical Conditioning

A conditioning technique that involves repeatedly associating two stimuli; the reaction, which at first occurs due to the second stimulus, eventually occurs due to the first stimulus independently.

Neutral Stimulus

A trigger that initially elicits no particular reaction except for capturing attention.

Unconditioned Response (UR)

An automatic, natural reaction to a stimulus that occurs without any need for prior learning or conditioning.
