Currently, Powell Products has a beta of 1.0, and
its sales and profits are positively correlated with the overall economy. The
company estimates that a proposed new project would have a higher standard
deviation and coefficient of variation than an average company project. Also,
the new project’s sales would be countercyclical in the sense that they would
be high when the overall economy is down and low when the overall economy is
strong. On the basis of this information, which of the following statements is

Question 15

|
|
|
Assume that the economy is enjoying a strong
boom, and as a result interest rates and money costs generally are relatively
high. The WACC for two mutually exclusive projects that are being considered
is 12%. Project S has an IRR of 20% while Project L’s IRR is 15%. The
projects have the same NPV at the 12% current WACC. However, you believe that
the economy will soon fall into a mild recession, and money costs and thus
your WACC will soon decline. You also think that the projects will not be
funded until the WACC has decreased, and their cash flows will not be
affected by the change in economic conditions. Under these conditions, which
of the following statements is CORRECT?
