37、目 A 和项目 B 的相关数据/B项目 A 项目 B初始成本年限现金流2800 万美元21800 万美元/年5500 万美元32500 万美元/年（分数：48.00）(1).If the projects are independent, the company should:project A project B accept accept accept reject reject accept A. B. C. （分数：2.00）A. B.C.解析：解析 * 如果两个项目是独立的，则由于两项目的 NPV 均大于零，从而两项目均应被接受，本题的正确选项为 A。(2).If the proje

38、cts are mutually exclusive, the company should:project A project B accept accept accept reject reject accept A. B. C. （分数：2.00）A.B.C. 解析：解析 如果两个项目是互斥的，则由于 NPVANPV B，从而应选择 B 项目。(3).The NPV profiles of two projects will intersect: A. at their internal rates of return. B. if they have different discoun

39、t rates. C. at the discount rate that makes their net present value equal.（分数：2.00）A.B.C. 解析：解析 投资项目的 NPV 曲线是指描述不同贴现率所对应的项目净现值的函数曲线。在投资项目的分析中，不同的贴现率一般对应于不同的净现值，因此二者之间存在着函数关系。在两条 NPV 曲线的交点处，两项目具有相同的净现值。因此，本题的正确选项为 C。(4).Which of the following statements about NPV and IRR is least accurate? A. The IRR

40、 is the discount rate that equates the present value of the cash inflows with the present value of outflows. B. For mutually exclusive projects, if the NPV method and the IRR method give conflicting rankings, the analyst should use the IRR to select the project. C. The NPV method assumes that cash f

41、lows will be reinvested at the cost of capital, while IRR method assume that cash flows are reinvested at the IRR.（分数：2.00）A.B. C.解析：解析 在对互斥项目进行分析时，IRR 法可能得出与 NPV 法相矛盾的结论。在上述情况下，分析师应当使用 NPV 法进行项目筛选。上述结论的理论依据是，公司经营的最终目标是实现所有者(股东)财富的最大化，而 NPV 法的判断方法(NPV 值的最大化)与上述目标相符合，因而应当优先使用该方法。(5).An analyst gather

42、ed the following data about a company:capital structure required rate of return40% debt 15%10% preferred stock 13%50% common stock 10%Assuming a 30% tax rate, what after-tax rate of return must the company earn on its investments? A. 7.3% B. 10.5% C. 13.4%（分数：2.00）A.B. C.解析：解析 厂商的资金成本不仅由债务及权益的成本决定，而

43、且还由厂商资本组合中债务及权益(包括普通股权益和优先股权益)的比例决定，这种关系在厂商的加权平均资金成本(Weighted Average Cost of Capital，WACC)中得到体现。WACC 是以各种资本占全部资本的比重为权数，对各种资本的成本进行加权平均计算出来的。WACC 本质上是厂商为其资产融资的成本，其计算公式为：WACC=kd(1-t)wd+kpwp+kcwc式中，k d表示税前债务资金成本，t 表示厂商所得税税率，w d表示债务在厂商资本结构中所占的百分比；kp表示优先股资金成本，w p表示优先股在厂商资本结构中所占的百分比；k c表示普通股资金成本，w c表示普通股在

44、厂商资本结构中所占的百分比。在本题中，WACC=k d(1-t)wd+kpwp+kcwc=15%(1-30%)40%+13%10%+10%50%=10.5%(6).A company has $30 million in debt outstanding with coupon rate of 15%.

45、8.4% C. 10.5%（分数：2.00）A.B. C.解析：解析 税后债务成本是通过计算(1-t)k d而得到的，它等于厂商发行新的债券所应支付的利率 kd减去发行债券所节省的税金支出 tkd，从而有以下关系式：税后债务成本=利率(YTM)-税金节省比率=k d-tkd=(1-t)kd在本题中，税后债务成本=(1-t)k d=(1-30%)12%=8.4%。(7).A companys $100, 7% preferred stock is currently selling for $124. What is the companys cost of preferred stock? A

46、. 5.6% B. 6.8% C. 8.3%（分数：2.00）A. B.C.解析：解析 优先股资金成本(k p)计算公式为：*式中，D p表示优先股股息，P 表示优先股的价格。在本题中，优先股资金成本*(8).An analyst gathered the following data about a company:The company stock beta is 1.8.Risk-free rate is 7%.Market risk premium is 5%.The companys cost of equity using capital asset pricing model (

47、CAPM) approach is: A. 8.2% B. 14.5% C. 16.0%（分数：2.00）A.B.C. 解析：解析 资本资产定价模型(CAPM)法计算权益的资金成本分为以下 4 个步骤：第一步，估计出无风险利率(RFR)。在实践中，由于美国国库券的利息和本金支付是以国家信用为担保的，基本不存在违约风险，因而通常将国库券的利率视为无风险利率。第二步，估计出股票的 值，该数值用来衡量股票的风险情况。第三步，估计出股票的市场预期回报率 E(Rm)。第四步，根据资本资产定价模型(CAPM)计算出市场所要求的权益回报率(k c)，其计算公式为：kce=RFR+E(Rm)-RFR在本题中，

48、题目并未给出市场预期回报率 E(Rm)，但给出了市场风险溢价值，亦即市场预期回报率 E(Rm)超过无风险利率的部分。因此，权益成本 kce=RFR+E(Rm)-RFR=7%+5%1.8=16%。(9).The expected dividend is $3 for a share of stock priced at 35. What is the cost of equity if the long-term growth in dividends is projected to be 10%? A. 9.8% B. 13.5% C. 18.6%（分数：2.00）A.B.C. 解析：解析 如果股息预计将按照不变的速度(g)增长，则可以根据股息增长模型计算出股票的当前价格(P0)，其计算公式为：*式中，D 1表示下一年的股息金额，k c表示普
