BPC has decided to evaluate the riskier project at a 12 percent rate and the less risky project at a 10 percent rate.
a. What is the expected value of the annual net cash flows from each project? What is the coefficient of variation (CV)? (Hint: =B = $5,798 and CVB = 0.76.)
b. What is the risk-adjusted NPV of each project?
c. If it were known that Project B was negatively correlated with other cash flows of the firm whereas Project A was positively correlated, how would this knowledge affect the decision? If Project B's cash flows were negatively correlated with gross domestic product (GDP), would that influence your assessment of its risk?

Should the firm accept the project if total costs consisted
: Should the firm accept the project? (Hint: The project is perpetuity so you must use the formula for perpetuity to find its NPV.) If total costs consisted of a fixed cost of $10,000 per year and variable costs of $95 per unit, and if only the variabl..

Should the spectrometer be purchased
: The spectrometer would have no effect on revenues, but it is expected to save the firm $25,000 per year in before tax operating cost, mainly labor. The firm's marginal federal-plus-state tax rate is 40%. If the project's cost of capital is 10%, shoul..
