    Hello

    If business risk of company changes as a result of an investment project, then using the WACC of a company in investment appraisal is not appropriate, and a project-specific discount rate should be calculate in such a case. Right?

    However, if financial risk of company changes as a result of an investment project, then using the WACC of a company in investment appraisal is not appropriate and in this case project-specific discount rate should be calculated OR marginal cost of capital should be calculated?

    First paragraph – right.

    Second paragraph – we would calculate what is called an ‘adjusted present value’, but this is not examinable in Paper FM (only in Paper AFM).
