WACC AND OPTIMAL CAPITAL BUDGET Adamson Corporation is considering four average-risk projects with the following costs and rates of return: Project Cost Expected Kate of Return 1 2,000 16.00% 2 3,000 15.00 3 5,000 13.75 4 2,000 12.30 The company estimates that it can issue debt at a rate of rd = 10%, and its tax rate is 30%. It can issue preferred stock that pays a constant dividend of 5.00 per year at 50.00 per share. Also, its common stock currently sells for 38.00 per share; the next expected dividend, D1, is 4.25, and the dividend is expected to grow at a constant rate of 5% per year. The target capital structure consists of 75% common stock, 15% debt, and 10% preferred stock. a. What is the cost of each of the capital components? b. What is Adamson's WACC? c. Only projects with expected returns that exceed WACC will be accepted. Which projects should Adamson accept?
Your firm is evaluating a capital budgeting project. The estimated cash flows appear below. The board of directors wants to know the expected impact on shareholder wealth. Knowing that the estimated impact on shareholder wealth equates to net present value (NPV), you use your handy calculator to compute the value. What is the project's NPV? Assume that the cash flows occur at the end of each year. The discount rate (i.e., required rate of return, hurdle rate) is 17.4%. (Round to nearest penny) Year 0 cash flow -132,000 Year 1 cash flow 52,000 Year 2 cash flow 31,000 Year 3 cash flow 42,000 Year 4 cash flow 39,000 Year 5 cash flow 18,000

1 Scenario AnalysisShao Industries is considering a proposed project for its capital budget. Thecompany estimates the project’s NPV is $12 million. This estimate assumesthat the economy and market conditions will be average over the next fewyears. The company’s CFO, however, forecasts there is only a 50% chancethat the economy will be average. Recognizing this uncertainty, she has alsoperformed the following scenario analysis: Economic Scenario Probability of Outcome NPVRecession 0.05 -$70 millionBelow average 0.20 -25 millionAverage 0.50 12 millionAbove average 0.20 20 millionBoom 0.05 30 millionWhat are the project’s expected NPV, standard deviation,…
. Capital budgeting is the process of identifying, analyzing and selecting investment projects whose returns are expected to extend beyond one year. This capital budgeting decision for an investment requires the analysis of some factors. 1. List and explain three (3) of these factors. 2. You have an investment opportunity that requires an initial investment of GH¢5,000 today and will pay GH¢6,000 in a year’s time. If an alternative investment with similar risk pays 25%, should you invest? 3. You will retire in 18 years and you currently have GH¢250,000 saved, and your plan is to have GH¢1,000,000 at your retirement. What annual interest rate must you earn to reach this goal, assuming you do not save any additional funds? 4. With practical example(s), differentiate between compounding and discounting. 5. As a Business Finance student, what is the essence of the valuation principle in your personal life?
A project has the following cash inflows $34,444; $39,877; $25,000; and $52,800 for years 1 through 4, respectively. The initial cash outflow is $140,000. The firm has decided to assume that the appropriate cost of capital is 10% and the appropriate risk-free rate is 6%. what is the internal rate of return (IRR) of the Project? * 10

If so , should the firm do mitigation.

The Potential for Multiple IRRs A proposed investment has the following projected after-taxcash flows over its 3-year life:Initial outlay (time 0) = ($1,000)End of year 1 = $2,000End of year 2 = $2,000End of year 3 = ($3,700) Required 1. In a capital budgeting context, explain the difference between a normal and a non-normal cash flowpattern. What is the importance of this distinction for estimating the internal rate of return (IRR) of aproposed investment? 2. For the proposed investment project just described, how many IRRs will there be? Why?3. Use Excel to prepare a graph of the net present value (NPV) profile of the proposed investment describedherein. On the X-axis, show discount rates from 0% to 120%, in increments of 5%. On the Y-axis, showthe estimated NPV of the project for each of the specified discount rates. (Use the built-in NPV functionin Excel to estimate the NPVs.) Based on a visual examination of the graph, what are the two estimatedIRRs for the proposed investment? 4.…
