Kottinger's Kamp Supplies is considering an investment in new manufacturing equipment. The equipment costs $220,000 and will provide
annual after-tax inflows of $50,000 at the end of each of the next seven years. The firm's market value debt/equity ratio is 25%, its cost of
equity is 14%, and its pre-tax cost of debt is 7%. The flotation costs of debt and equity are 3% and 9%, respectively. The firm's combined
marginal federal and provincial tax rate is 40%. Assume the project is of approximately the same risk as the firm's existing operations.
What is Kottinger's weighted average cost of capital?

Payne would like to determine the effect of various current assets policies on its financial performance. Payne has $2 million of fixed assets and intends to keep its debt ratio at its historical level of 60%. Payne's debt interest rate is currently 10%. You are to evaluate three different current asset policies: (1) a restricted policy in which current assets are 45% of projected sales, (2) a moderate policy with 50% of sales tied up in current assets, and (3) a relaxed policy requiring current assets of 60% of sales.

- The Bellwood Company is financed entirely with equity. The company is considering a loan of $4.5 million. The loan will be repaid in equal principal installments over the next two years and has an interest rate of 7 percent. The company's tax rate is 24 percent. According to MM Proposition I with taxes, what would be the increase in the value of the company after the loan?

The system costs $55,000 to purchase and install and $32,000 to operate each year. The system is estimated to be useful for 4 years. Management expects the new system to reduce the cost of managing inventories by $61,500 per year. The firm’s cost of capital (discount rate) is 11%. The firm is in the 30% income tax bracket and uses double-declining-balance (DDB) depreciation with no salvage value. Given a four-year life, the DDB depreciation rate is 50% (i.e., 2 × 25%). In year four, record depreciation expense as the net book value (NBV) of the asset at the start of the year.arrow_forwardPayne Products had $1.6 million in sales revenues in the most recent year and expects sales growth to be 25% this year.

- A company is planning to move to a larger office and is trying to decide if the new office should be owned or leased. Cash flows for owning versus leasing are estimated as follows. Assume that the cash flows from operations will remain level over a 10-year holding period. If purchased, the company will make an equity investment and finance the remainder with an interest-only loan that has a balloon payment due in year 10. The company’s marginal income tax rate is 30% and the after-tax cash flow from sale of the property at the end of year 10 is expected to be $800,000.
