5. Which of the projects are unacceptable and why?
Projects A and B are unacceptable because they both have negative Net Present Values.
7. Which project do you recommend and why? Explain why each of the projects not chosen was rejected.
I would recommend Project C because it has the highest net present value. This means that the project will add value to the company by increasing shareholder wealth and because the reinvestment rate is the WACC; it also has the highest terminal value which is the future value of the projects cash inflows. This makes project C the best one of the three projects.
I didn’t choose Projects A or B because they both had less than zero Net Present Values which wouldn’t add any value to the company.
8. For the project you have selected, which capital structure do you recommend and why?
I would recommend for Project C to have the capital structure of 20% leverage. According to the Trade-off Theory by adding the tax benefits of debt it will help to increase the value of the company. Also leverage will decrease the WACC and increase the stock price.
