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

Answer:

Leverage buyout

Explanation:

Leverage buyout refers to the acquisition of another company using debt as the main source of financing the deal. The acquiring company borrows from various sources and will often use the assets of the acquired company as collateral. In leverage buyout, the acquiring entity borrows up to 80 percent or more and finances the balance with its equity.

The use of debt enhances the rate of return of the acquiring firm. Greystone Group is using 5 million of its funds and borrowing 20 million. The debts represent 80 percent of the cost of acquisition. The acquiring entity can achieve a higher rate of return by using as little of its funds as possible.
