The Giant Food Company is an "all equity" financed firm.
Its stock beta is 1.40, while the risk-free rate is 2% and the
market expected risk premium is 5%. The firm’s CFO considers
several projects. He decides to follow the hurdle rate test,
comparing the project’s return to the firm’s cost of capital. Which
of the projects will he reject incorrectly, and which will he
accept incorrectly? Hint! You can present the hurdle rate decision
side by side with the NPV or IRR decision. Conflict between the two
methods, will mark incorrect decision.
A beta 0.50 project expected return 9.5%
B beta 0.80 project expected return 6.50
C beta 1.00 project expected return 8.0
D beta 1.20 project expected return 5.0
E beta 2.40 project expected return 11.0
