b. Below-average risk

Explanation:

In order to understand why the company may want to accept project a, we need to understand what WACC is, which factors effect WACC and why investors choose to accept and reject certain projects based on WACC?

WACC stands for weighted average cost of capital which is made up of two components, Debt and Equity (the main long term sources of finance). WACC is the average expected return to equity and debt holders. Debt and Equity providers require a certain level of return on their money lent.

Debt finance is normally perceived as a cheaper source of finance as compared to equity because of two major factors, First, the cost of debt (i.e interest paid) is a tax deductible exp which means before taxing profits the amount of interest paid to debt providers is deducted resulting in reduced amount of taxable profit and hence a lower tax liability whereas cost of equity (i.e dividends) is not tax deductible. Second, debt providers are much safer than equity providers because they require security (by creating a charge over assets) over the debt issued, therefore lower risk leads to lower return.

From above we can conclude that the amount of debt and equity finance raised by a company can directly effect WACC.

Many entities use WACC as a discount factor for computing value of business. Value of Business = Future cash flows ÷ discount factor. This means a company with a higher WACC will normally have a lower business value (because the greater the discount factor, the lower value of company).

Therefore, companies keeping in mind the objective of value creation and wealth maximization try to minimize their WACC in order to maximize value of business. With this point of view Under inc. should accept project B(below-average risk)...

In the fall, jay thompson decided to live in a university dormitory. he signed a dorm contract under which he was obligated to pay the room rent for the full college year. one clause stated that if he moved out during the year, he could sell his dorm contract to another student who would move into the dormitory as his replacement. the dorm cost was $5000 for the two semesters, which jay had already paid a month after he moved into the dorm, he decided he would prefer to live in an apartment. that week, after some searching for a replacement to fulfill his dorm contract, jay had two offers. one student offered to move in immediately and to pay jay $300 per month for the eight remaining months of the school year. a second student offered to move in the second semester and pay $2500 to jay. jay estimates his food cost per month is $500 if he lives in the dorm and $450 if he lives in an apartment with three other students. his share of the apartment rent and utilities will be $404 per month. assume each semester is 4.5 months long. disregard the small differences in the timing of the disbursements or receipts. what is the cost of the cheapest alternative?
