Continuing with the same project analysis, recall that Organic Farms is considering an investment in a new irrigation system. The firm’s cost of capital, appropriate for this project, is 8.00% per year. The incremental free cash flows for the irrigation project are as follows:   Year Free Cash Flows 0 -$55,000 1 20,300 2 20,300 3 20,300 4 20,300    Compute the IRR for the project.   Round your answer to the nearest hundredth of a percent. For example, enter 7% as 7.00 or 6.625% as 6.63.

As a corporate manager, you have been given an investment budget of $24 million. You must choose from among the following three independent projects:   Project Year 0 Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 Year 5 A -$12 $10 $10 $14     B -$12 $8 $8 $8 $8 $2 C -$12 $6 $6 $6 $6 $6 (All dollar amounts are in millions.)   The appropriate hurdle rate for all three projects is 12% per year. Given your investment budget of $24 million, which projects will you undertake, if any?

Continuing with the same project analysis, Blue Star has now asked for your help in computing the discounted payback period for the project. Recall that Blue Star’s estimated cost of capital, appropriate for this project, is 9.00% per year and the project’s free cash flows are estimated as follows:   Blue Star Airlines Free Cash Flow ($ Millions)   Year 0 Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Free Cash Flow ($20.00) $6.75 $8.50 $12.50 Compute the discounted payback period to the nearest hundredth of a year (two decimal places). If the project has no discounted payback period, then enter “0” (i.e., the number zero).

The beta and standard deviation of AAA Corp., BBB Corp., and CCC Corp. common stock are given in the following table:   Stock Beta Standard Deviation AAA Corp. 0.43 52% BBB Corp. 0.82 81% CCC Corp. 1.24 35%   Which stock is the riskiest to a diversified investor who spreads her portfolio equally across 100 stocks from different industries? 

Squid Inc. just paid a $3.00 per share dividend. It is expected that dividends will grow at 10.00% per year for the next 2 years, at 6.00% the third year and 3.00% every year thereafter. To clarify, Squid makes a payment once per year and the expected dividend per share for the next four years is:   D1=$3.00(1.10)=$3.30   D2=$3.30(1.10)=$3.63   D3=$3.63(1.06)=$3.85   D4=$3.85(1.03)=$3.96   Squid’s equity beta is 0.90, while the risk-free rate is 3.20% per year and the market risk premium is 6.00% per year. Based on this information, compute the price per share of Squid stock.   Round your answer to the nearest penny. For example, $2,371.243 should be entered as 2371.24

When projects are mutually exclusive and there is no constraint on capital to invest, selection should be made according to the project with the:

Sandpiper Inc. is estimating its weighted average cost of capital (WACC). Sandpiper’s capital structure weights on debt, preferred stock, and equity are 40%, 0%, and 60%, respectively. Its corporate tax rate is 30%. The expected returns required by holders of debt and equity are 6.00% and 10.50%, respectively. Compute Sandpiper’s WACC.
