A mining company is considering a new project. Because the mine has received a permit, the project would be legal; but it would cause significant harm to a nearby river. The firm could spend an additional $10 million at Year 0 to mitigate the environmental Problem, but it would not be required to do so. Developing the mine (without mitigation) would cost $60 million, and the expected cash inflows would be $20 million per year for 5 years. If the firm does invest in mitigation, the annual inflows would be $21 million. The risk-adjusted WACC is 12%.

1. Calculate the NPV and IRR with mitigation. Round your answers to two decimal places. Do not round your intermediate calculations. Enter your answer for NPV in millions. For example, an answer of $10,550,000 should be entered as 10.55.
   NPV $ million ????
   IRR 15.24%

You are the budget director of a small school district that has a budget of $10 million and serves 2,500 children in six schools: three elementary schools, two middle schools, and one high school. The school district receives its budget from the state, and state officials have told you that the state is running a deficit and the school budget is being cut by $250,000. The state provides the revenue; however, the school district does have a partnership with a foundation that provides funding for innovative and supportive programs. What part of the budget would you first examine? Why? After that examination, what would you cut? Why?

Using the same scenario from the question above, the budget director must present alternatives to the district superintendent for consideration. Describe the alternatives you would recommend so the superintendent and/or board has choices.

Jamie Peters invested ​$126,000 to set up the following portfolio one year​ ago:

a. Calculate the portfolio beta on the basis of the original cost figures.

b. Calculate the percentage return of each asset in the portfolio for the year.

c. Calculate the percentage return of the portfolio on the basis of original​ cost, using income and gains during the year.

d. At the time Jamie made his​ investments, investors were estimating that the market return for the coming year would be 11%. The estimate of the​ risk-free rate of return averaged 3% for the coming year. Calculate an expected rate of return for each stock on the basis of its beta and the expectations of market and​ risk-free returns.

e. On the basis of the actual​ results, explain how each stock in the portfolio performed differently relative to those​ CAPM-generated expectations of performance. What factors could explain these​ differences?
