Project A=
r = 4/2 = 2% semi annual
Annual percentage rate = (1+0.02)² - 1= 4.04%
Project B =
r = 3.5/52 = 0.0673%
Annual percentage rate = (1+0.000673)^52 -1 = 3.5608%
APR is higher for project A, project A should be selected.

5. You have two opportunities to invest $5,000 for 10 years. The first provides a yield of 8% annually, compounded quarterly. The second provides a yield of 8.5% annually, compounded annually. Which of these investments provides the highest returns? By how much? 6. Which would you prefer -- $10,000 now, $20,000 10 years from now, or $30,000 20 years from now, assuming a. a 6% annual interest rate? b. an 8% annual interest rate? c. a 10% annual interest rate?...

4 Given a choice of two investments, would you choose one that pays a total return of 30 percent over five years or one that pays 0.5 percent per month for five years? What annual rate of return does each give you? Instructions: Enter your responses in percentages to the nearest hundredth, for example, 3.00 for 3 percent. The return of 30 percent over 5 years provides an annual return of percent. The return of 0.5 percent per month for...
You have two investment opportunities. One will have an 7.0% rate of return on an investment of $540; the other will have a 10.0% rate of return on principal of $690. You would like to take advantage of the higher-yielding investment but have only $540 available. Required: What is the maximum rate of interest that you would pay to borrow the $150 needed to take advantage of the higher yield? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2...
Assume CAPM holds and you have the following information regarding three investment opportunities: Project 1 has a project beta of 2.0 and you have estimated that the project’s NPV using a cost of capital of 20% equals zero. Project 2 has a project beta of 1.5 and its NPV using a cost of capital of 10% equals zero. Project 3 has a project beta of 1.0 and its NPV equals zero using a cost of capital of 6%. None of...
3) Assume that two independent investments opportunities, X and Y, exist in the market. Investment provides an expected return of 12% with a standard deviation of 12%, while investment Y yields 10% return with a standard deviation of 10%. a. Calculate the expected return for a portfolio that consists of 40% of X and 60% of Y. b. What is the standard deviation of such portfolio?

Problem 16-19 Using net present value and internal rate of return to evaluate investment opportunities LO 16-2, 16-3 Dwight Donovan, the president of Finch Enterprises, is considering two investment opportunities. Because of limited resources, he will be able to invest in only one of them. Project A is to purchase a machine that will enable factory automation; the machine is expected to have a useful life of five years and no salvage value. Project B supports a training program that...
