If you earn the WACC on a project, (IRR = WACC) or NPV = 0, what have you accomplished for your shareholders?

1A. A semiannual bond pays a 4.5 % coupon for the next 27 years. If investors want a 7.3% return, what are they willing to pay for the bond?

Expert Solution

1)

If WACC is earned on the project i.e. IRR=WACC, then the Project was Indifferent. There is No Gain or No Loss by undertaking the Project. Therefore, Nothing is accomplished for shareholders.

1A)

Semi Annual Coupon = Face Value*Coupon Rate/2 = 1000*4.5%/2 = 22.5

Semi Annual Return = 0.073/2 = 0.0365
