Opportunity Cost of Capital and WACC
The solution to Q14 in the financial
analysis handout is incorrect. Correct
is 14(a) .0847 and 14(b) .1429. Make
sure you can get those answers. Extra
credit to anyone who can figure out how the authors (or the grad student who
came up with the solutions) got their incorrect answers.
The solution manual has an error for
exercise 2.8. You should be able to spot
the error yourself, but ask me if you don’t see it.
The solution manual has an error for
exercise 5.14 part (b). A hint for the
correct solution: when you sell something short you get cash in return.
Final exam is here. Exam Solutions are here. Solution spreadsheet is here
Grades for the exam and for the term
papers will be posted here by the end of the weekend and final course grades on
the registrar’s website.
