a). Computation of the cost of capital if beta is 0.85:-
Cost of capital = Risk free rate + (Beta * Market risk premium)
= 4% + (0.85 * 8%)
= 4% + 6.80%
= 10.80%
Computation of the cost of capital if beta is 1.78:-
= Cost of capital = 4% + (1.78 * 8%)
= 4% + 14.24%
= 18.24%
?b). The entire projects have higher IRR than its cost of capital, except for project R. Therefore project P, Q, S and T will have positive NPV.
