Mantap Industries has three projects under consideration. Project L is a lower-than-averagerisk project, project A is an average-risk project, and project H is a higher-than-average-risk project. You have gathered the following information to determine if one or more of these projects has an acceptable rate of return for the firm. • Sources of financing 50% debt and 50% equity • Rd = 8.00% before taxes • Tax Rate = 30% • Average beta for Mantap Industries = 1.0 • Rm = 13.00% • Rf = 4.00% • Adjusted WACC = 9.30% • Beta for project L = 0.80, for project A = 1.00, and for project H = 1.20 • IRRL = 9.00%, IRRA = 10.00%, and IRRH = 11.00% Calculate the required rate of return for each project and determine which, if any, projects are acceptable to the firm

Suppose Mullens Corporation is considering three average-risk projects with the following costs and rates of return: Project Cost Expected Rate of Return 1 $2,500 23.00% 2 $3,000 30.00% 3 $2,750 24.00% Mullens estimates that it can issue debt at a rate of rd=20.00%rd=20.00% and a tax rate of T=25.00%T=25.00%. It can issue preferred stock that pays a constant dividend of Dp=$20.00Dp=$20.00 per year and at Pp=$200.00Pp=$200.00 per share. Also, its common stock currently sells for P0=$16.00P0=$16.00 per share. The expected dividend payment of the common stock is D1=$4.00D1=$4.00 and the dividend is expected to grow at a constant annual rate of g=5.00%g=5.00% per year. Mullens’ target capital structure consists of ws=75.00%ws=75.00% common stock, wd=15.00%wd=15.00% debt, and wp=10.00%wp=10.00% preferred stock. 1.According to the video, the after-tax cost of debt can be stated as ________________ . Plugging in the values for rdrd and (T)T yields an after-tax cost of…

Hello.i have the solution you send me but i am trying to understand where did you get the calculations for in the worknotes tabel. I did my own calculation but i dont get the same answer. For example for year 2 for project A you have 39.8597 How did you get to that without using the formula in excel. I need to write down the actual numbers. I got 22.3214 some im not sure how you got to that number. Can you help me please? Thank you

I still cant calculate the IRR.i really dont understand how to do it. Can you help me please by using the numbers in the tabel so i can understand what is that you are adding or taking away please? I know how to calculate the NPV but not the IRR. I have went over and over this IRR but i still dont understand how you calculate it using the pv and the npv.i dont wanna use excel.
