financial break-even point.

In ratios where y/x, it should be interpreted as

for every dollar (borrowed, owed, spent) in x, y/x dollars is increased in y

DOL means

if Q goes up by x%, OCF goes up by (DOL*x)%

Assume a firm utilizes its WACC as the discount rate for every capital project it implements. Accordingly, the firm will tend to:

increase the average risk level of the company over time.

Mortgage lenders probably have the most interest in the ______ ratios.

long-term debt and times interest earned

The slope of the security market line is the:

market risk premium.

Thornton Homes has multiple divisions which operate as separate lines of business and face risks unique to those lines. The firm uses its overall WACC as the discount rate to evaluate all proposed projects. Accordingly, each division within the firm will tend to:

prefer higher risk projects over lower risk projects.

The excess return is computed as the:

return on a risky security minus the risk-free rate.

The security market line intercepts the vertical axis at the:

risk-free rate.

For any given capital project proposal, the discount rate should be based on the:

risks associated with the use of the funds required by the project.

When determining a firm's weighted average cost of capital, the item with the least amount of impact is the:
