Match the terms of the net present value equation with their definitions.

CFt: Expected after-tax cash flow for year t TVT: Expected after-tax terminal value C0: Initial investment at inception K: Weighted-average cost of capital T: Economic life of the capital project in years

Sensitivity analysis allows the financial manager a means to analyze which of the following?

Modigliani Miller

OCFt: Expected operating flow for year t Dt: Expected depreciation for year t It: iDebt Ku: The all-equity cost of capital i: The levered firm's borrowing rate

Which statements are true about the payback method?

The shorter the payback period the more acceptable is the project. The payback method determines the period of time required for the cumulative cash inflows to "pay back" the initial cash outlay.

Match the situation to the type of real option.

Timing option: When to make an investment Growth option: Whether to increase the scale of an investment Suspension option: Whether to temporarily cease production Abandonment option: Whether to quit the investment early

What did Modigliani and Miller find as the relationship between the market value of a levered firm Vl versus the market value of an equivalent unlevered firm Vu involving the tax rate τ.
