Expert Solution

a) Computation of Expected Returns or Cost of Cost of Capital using CAPM:
Cost of Capital = Risk-free Rate + Beta* Market Risk Premium

Beta = 0.60, 

Cost of Capital = 3% + 0.60*8% = 7.8%
Beta = 1.15, 
Cost of Capital = 3% + 1.15*8% = 12.20%

 

b)

P: Cost of Capital = 3% + 0.85*8% = 9.80%
Q: Cost of Capital =  3% + 0*8% = 3%
R: Cost of Capital = 3% + 1*8% = 11%
S: Cost of Capital =  3% + 0.25*8% = 5%
T: Cost of Capital =  3% + 0.60*8% = 7.8%

 

For all projects except T, IRR is greater than the cost of capital. Thus, projects P,Q, R & S will have positive NPVs.
