Q

Assume that the risk-free rate is 5% and the market risk premium is 8%. Security A has a beta of 0.75 and Security B has a beta of 1.25. Suppose that Security C has a risk-return characteristic such that it lies below the security market line. Is Security C a desirable investment? Why or why not?

  • It is a desirable investment and can be purchased.
  • Security C lies above the SML and so it is underpriced. In other words, it is yielding a return greater than what can be expected.
  • Security C lies above the SML and so it is overpriced. In other words, it is yielding a return lower than what can be expected.
  • Security C lies below the SML and so it is underpriced. In other words, it is yielding a return greater than what can be expected.
  • Security C lies below the SML and so it is overpriced. In other words, it is yielding a return lower than what can be expected.
  • It is not a desirable investment and should not be purchased
A
  • It is a desirable investment and can be purchased.

Q

When considering investment projects using IRR. Which are correct?

  • IRR does not give the same decision as NPV when considering independent investment projects where the initial outflows are only followed by a series of inflows
  • When considering mutually exclusive investments. One can always reach a correct decision by accepting the larger project if the incremental IRR is greater than the discount rate
  • If we choose independent investment projects with highest IRR, NPV always gives the same decision
  • When a project has cash inflow followed by one or more outflows: One should accept when the IRR is below the discount rate
A
  • When considering mutually exclusive investments. One can always reach a correct decision by accepting the larger project if the incremental IRR is greater than the discount rate
  • When a project has cash inflow followed by one or more outflows: One should accept when the IRR is below the discount rate
