Olsen must raise additional capital to fund its upcoming expansion. The firm will have $2 million of retained earnings with a cost of rs = 10%. New common stock in an amount up to $7 million would have a cost of re = 11.0%. Furthermore, Olsen can raise up to $4 million of debt at an interest rate of rd = 11% and an additional $3 million of debt at rd = 15%. The CFO estimates that a proposed expansion would require an investment of $10.5 million. What is the WACC for the last dollar raised to complete the expansion?

Current investigation has gathered the following data:Debt The firm can raise debt by selling $1,000-par-value, 10% coupon interest rate, 10-year bonds on which annual interest payments will be made.

The firm must also pay flotation costsof $20 per bond.Preferred stock The firm can sell 11% (annual dividend) preferred stock at its $100-per-share par value. The cost of issuing and selling the preferred stock is expected to be $4per share.Common stock The firm’s common stock is currently selling for $80 per share. The firmexpects to pay cash dividends of $6 per share next year. The firm’s dividends have beengrowing at an annual rate of 6%, and this rate is expected to continue in the future.

An otherwise identical but levered firm has $80 million in debt at a 3% interest rate, which is its pre-tax cost of debt. Its unlevered cost of equity is 10%. After Year 1, free cash flows and tax savings are expected to grow at a constant rate of 4%. Assuming the corporate tax rate is 25%, use the compressed adjusted present value model to determine the value of the levered firm. (Hint: The interest expense at Year 1 is based on the current level of debt.) Enter your answer in millions. For example, an answer of $10,550,000 should be entered as 10.55. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to two decimal places.arrow_forward
- Jaguar Holdings Company can obtain debt funding at 8 percent. Its marginal income tax rate is 25 percent. The yield on US Treasury securities is 3 percent. The market risk premium is 6.0 percent, and the firm’s beta is 2. It has a targeted debt-to-equity ratio of 1:1 (25 percent debt, 75 percent equity). 1) What is its weighted average cost of capital? Jaguar Holdings Company must choose between solar and an electric-powered forklift truck for moving materials in its factory. Because both forklifts perform the same function, the firm will choose only one. (They are mutually exclusive investments.) The solar truck will cost more but will be less expensive to operate; it will cost $80,000, whereas the electric-powered truck will cost $70,000. The life for both types of truck is estimated to be 10 years, during which time the net cash flows for the solar-powered truck will be $20,000 per year, and those for the electric-powered truck will be $12,000 per year. 2) Calculate the NPV…arrow_forwardHelp me pleasearrow_forwardWe've found that the total value of VetaTaco is $2 million.
