Beta (B) -0.006280593
Market Risk premium (C) 6%
Required rate of return [A+(B*C)] 3.96%
Notes- RF is computed by using the return offered by 10-year treasury bonds.
6.3 Determining the investment method (Conservative investment)
The investment method followed by Green Power Energy Limited is not a conservative
investment decision. The main reason to determine that Green Power Energy Limited has not
been following conservative investment policy is related to its dormant business functioning.
After analysing the annual report, it could be inferred that Green Power Energy Limited has
invested AUD $ 23.45 million in its research and development and apart from that it has not
invested capital in any of its business projects.
Green Power Energy Limited has doubt whether it will sustain its business in the long run or
not.

total liabilities in its books of account.

equity
WACC

portion WACC
Equity 4 3.96% 100% 3.96%
Debt 0 0.00% 0% 0.00%
Total
capital 4 WACC 3.96%
The weighted average cost of capital is too low which shows that company has created value
in its investment
7.2 Implications that a higher WACC on investment decision
It is observed that if the company is having low WACC in its business then it will have high
chances to increases its return on capital employed and select any particular project which
will give it higher return on investment as compared to its WACC. If Green Power Energy
Limited has the high weighted average cost of capital then it will eventually increase the
financial leverage of the company.

dividend to its shareholders. Green Power Energy Limited has faced high loss in its business

so no dividend was issued to shareholders for the same period of time. Green Power Energy
Limited should focus on creating value first from its sales (Lisowsky, Minnis, and
Sutherland, 2017).
Letter of recommendation
To,
Directors of Green Power Energy Limited
Green Power Energy Limited has been dormant since last three years. It is observed that the
management of the company needs to use the effective strategic program if they want the
company to survive again in long run.
After analysing the annual report, it is advised to directors to take good steps to run the
business of Green Power Energy Limited. The high financial leverage has been managed by
infusing more capital in the total assets of the business. However, there are zero amounts of
total liabilities of Green Power Energy Limited which reflects that company will not go to
liquidation even if it does not have profit in its business. Nonetheless, loss in its operating
activities is showing the negative impact on the business and its future outlook.
This could be inferred that if directors want Green Power Energy Limited to survive again
then its business operation needs to be changed and proper efforts should be made to increase
the overall sales throughout the time (Delen, Kuzey, and Uyar, 2013).

since last three years. The profitability of company and efficiency to deploy cash in business
has reflected the negative business outlook. If directors and managers of Green Power Energy
Limited do not take imperative decisions then it might negatively impact the share price
movement and future growth of Green Power Energy Limited. Now, in the end, it could be
inferred that Green Power Energy Limited should enter into the strategic alliance with other
companies If the management finds challenging to survive company in long run.
