A firm is considering a project that will generate perpetual after-tax cash flows of $16,500 per year beginning next year. The project has the same risk as the firm's overall operations and must be financed externally. Equity flotation costs 14 percent and debt issues cost 3 percent on an after-tax basis. The firm's D/E ratio is 0.5. What is the most the firm can pay for the project and still earn its required return? Note: Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest whole dollar. Maximum the firm can pay
You are considering acquiring a firm that you believe will generate cash flows of $100,000 per year for 10 years, after which you are expecting to sell it for $150,000. You will only use equity financing for this project. The beta of the firm is believed to be .75. Of course, you know these cash flows are uncertain. All these cash flows are subject to a 25% corporate tax rate. a) How much is the firm’s worth if the risk-free rate is 5% and the expected market return is 12%? Show your work. b) If the actual beta of the firm turns out to be .50, by how much will you have valued the firm incorrectly? c) If it turns out that you over-projected the cash flows by 2%, by how much will you have valued the firm incorrectly? Show all of your working. Do not use Excel.

2. What is your best estimate of the weighted average cost of capital with and without the $100 million in borrowing ? You could invest those $100 million in a new project with a business risk (ie, asset risk) very similar to the current business risk of the company. This project has an expected before-tax revenues of $50 million, and costs of $30 million a year in perpetuity. Assume that the annual new capital expenditures are offset by the depreciation (5 million) and that annual NWC investment is negligible.
D6) Suppose there are perfect capital markets with taxes. Investors expect a company to have $120 earnings before interest and taxes in one year. This company has a 25% tax rate, $100 market value of debt, and 20 shares outstanding. This company’s net working capital, depreciation expense, and capital expenditures are all expected to be zero in perpetuity. Investors expect this company to have the same earnings before interest and taxes, market value of debt, tax rate, and number of shares outstanding in perpetuity. The firm’s unlevered cost of equity is 8% and its cost of debt is 5%. Based on this information, what amount would you expect this company’s share price to be closest to? $5 $20 $40 $80 $100 $200 $400
Kohwe Corporation plans to finance a new investment with leverage. Kohwe Corporation plans to borrow $49.3 million to finance the new investment. The firm will pay interest only on this loan each year, and it will maintain an outstanding balance of $49.3 million on the loan. After making the investment, Kohwe expects to earn free cash flows of $10.7 million each year. However, due to reduced sales and other financial distress costs, Kohwe's expected free cash flows will decline to $9.7 million per year. Kohwe currently has 4.6 million shares outstanding, and it has no other assets or opportunities. Assume that the appropriate discount rate for Kohwe's future free cash flows is 7.9% and Kohwe's corporate tax rate is 40%. What is Kohwe's share price today given the financial distress costs of leverage? The price per share is $23.01 per share. (Round to the nearest cent.) C
