Your division is considering two investment projects, each of which requires an up-front expenditure of 25 million. You estimate that the cost of capital is 10% and that the investments will produce the following after-tax cash flows (in millions of dollars): a. What is the regular payback period for each of the projects? b. What is the discounted payback period for each of the projects? c. If the two projects are independent and the cost of capital is 10%, which project or projects should the firm undertake? d. If the two projects are mutually exclusive and the cost of capital is 5%, which project should the firm undertake? e. If the two projects are mutually exclusive and the cost of capital is 15%, which project should the firm undertake? f. What is the crossover rate? g. If the cost of capital is 10%, what is the modified IRR (MIRR) of each project?
Wansley Lumber is considering the purchase of a paper company, which would require an initial investment of $300 million. Wansley estimates that the paper company would provide net cash flows of $40 million at the end of each of the next 20 years. The cost of capital for the paper company is 13%. Should Wansley purchase the paper company? Wansley realizes that the cash flows in Years 1 to 20 might be $30 million per year or $50 million per year, with a 50% probability of each outcome. Because of the nature of the purchase contract, Wansley can sell the company 2 years after purchase (at Year 2 in this case) for $280 million if it no longer wants to own it. Given this additional information, does decision-tree analysis indicate that it makes sense to purchase the paper company? Again, assume that all cash flows are discounted at 13%. Wansley can wait for 1 year and find out whether the cash flows will be $30 million per year or $50 million per year before deciding to purchase the company. Because of the nature of the purchase contract, if it waits to purchase, Wansley can no longer sell the company 2 years after purchase. Given this additional information, does decision-tree analysis indicate that it makes sense to purchase the paper company? If so, when? Again, assume that all cash flows are discounted at 13%.
Kohwe Corporation plans to issue equity to raise $50.7 million to finance a new investment. After making the investment, Kohwe expects to earn free cash flows of $10.4 million each year. Kohwe's only asset is this investment opportunity. Suppose the appropriate discount rate for Kohwe's future free cash flows is 7.7%, and the only capital market imperfections are corporate taxes and financial distress costs. a. What is the NPV of Kohwe's investment? b. What is the value of Kohwe if it finances the investment with equity? a. What is the NPV of Kohwe's investment? The NPV of Kohwe's investment is $ million. (Round to two decimal places.) b. What is the value of Kohwe if it finances the investment with equity? The Kohwe finances stment with equity $ million. (Round decimal places.)
Suppose that Corporation is to consider a new project that requires $0.8 million finance with the interest rate of 10% and is expected to generate additional cash flow of $120,000 each year. In terms of financing, the firm is to borrow the money from David Lee, the owner of the firm. Assuming the cost of capital for all equity firm is 10%, compute the value of this firm if the corporate tax of 50% is imposed.
Axon Industries needs to raise $22.41M for a new investment project. If the firm issues one-year debt, it may haveto pay an interest rate of 9.44 %, although Axon's managers believe that 5.51 % would be a fair rate given the level of risk. If the firm issues equity, they believe the equity may be underpriced by 11.26 %. What is the cost to current shareholders of financing the project out of Equity? NOTE: Provide your answers in Millions. E.G. for 100M you must enter 100.0000, for 20M you must enter 20.0000, etc.
GBATT has a capital need of $100 million to fund its operations. GBATT has an equity investor that has made an investment in the common stock of GBATT for 60% of this amount but there is the anticipation is that they will earn a 15% return on this investment through capital returns and dividends. This level of anticipated return takes into account the anticipated risk in the investment. With this amount of capital support, GBATT was able to find a lender who will provide the balance of the capital needed at an interest rate of 10% with such debt to be paid out over 10 years. Such lender will require GBATT to fully collateralize its buildings in support of its bond payments. What is the cost of capital in this example?
A financial manager is considering two possible sources of funds necessary to finance a $10,000,000 investment that will yield $1,500,000 before interest and taxes. Alternative one is a short-term commercial bank loan with an interest rate of 8 percent for one year. The alternative is a five-year term loan with an interest rate of 10 percent. The firm's income tax rate is 30 percent. What will be the firm’s projected earnings under each alternative for the first year? The financial manager expects short-term rates to rise to 11 percent in the second year. At that time long-term rates will have risen to 12%. What will be the firm’s projected earnings under each alternative in the second year? What are the crucial considerations when selecting between short- and long-term sources of finance?
