Answer: Apportionment

Explanation: Apportionment is also known as analogous estimating which is used when projects closely follow past projects in features and costs. As a result, in addition to good historical data, estimates regarding project feature, cost and duration can be made quickly, with little effort and reasonable accuracy to various segments of the current project. The method of apportionment is very common in projects that are relatively standard, but with little variation or customisation.

postnew [5]

Answer:

The supply of savings increases.

Explanation:

We know that the supply of loanable funds is dependent upon the amount of deposits in the savings account. Supply curve of loanable funds represents the direct relationship between the quantity supplied and the interest rate. It is a upward sloping curve which indicates that an increase in the interest rate will lead to increase the quantity supply of loanable funds.

There is a change in the supply of loanable funds if there is any change in the savings behavior of the customers. If the savings of the customers increases then as a result the supply of savings also increases.

An all-equity firm is considering the following projects:
FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

Projects Y and Z

b. Projects W and Z

c. Projects W and Y

Explanation:

CAPM equation : Expected return = Risk free rate + Beta x (Expected market return - Risk free rate)

W = 4% + [0.85 x (11% - 4%)] = 9.95%

X = 4% + (0.92 x 7%) = 10.44%

Y = 4% + (1.09 x 7%) = 11.63%

Z = 4% + (1.35 x 7%) = 13.45%

Projects Y and Z have an expected return greater than 11%

b. Projects W and Z should be accepted because its expected return is higher than the IRR

c. Project W would be incorrectly rejected because the expected rate of return is less than the overall cost of capital (i.e. 9.95 is less than 11). But its expected rate of return is greater than the IRR

Y would be incorrectly accepted because its expected rate of return is greater  than the overall cost of capital but its expected rate of return is less than the IRR
