$1/.$ ABC is considering two mutually exclusive investment projects

which have a shelf life of two years. The cash flows of the two programs $($in thousands

euros$),$ as well as the corresponding probabilities of their realization are presented

in the tables below:

A$/.$ Consider, based on the criterion of Expected Net Present Value,

which of the two investments would you choose, given that its weighted average cost

capital in the case of Investment A is estimated at $10\%,$ Investment B at $8\%,$

while the risk$-$free interest rate is $3\%.$

B$/.$ Let's say at the end of the first year a prospective buyer comes along

and submits an offer to buy the investment you chose to

implement in query a$/.$ According to his offer, he intends to her

buy instead of the amount of $400,000$ euros. Considering his offer,

justify whether or not it is profitable to sell the investment at the end of the first year.

A$/.$ Outline the similarities and differences of the equivalence method

with the certainty and method of adjusting the discount rate.

B$/.$ Assume that an initial cost investment of $1,000$ monetary units and

life of one year yields a cash flow equal to $1,500$ monetary units. The

discount rate adjusted to the risk of the particular investment

is estimated at $14\%,$ while the risk$-$free rate is $2\%.$ How much should it be$?$

equivalence factor with certainty to give us the same Net Present

Value the discount rate adjustment method and the method

equivalence with certainty?
