The firm will use the attached MACRS depreciation schedule to expense this equipment. Once the equipment is installed, the company will need to increase raw goods inventory by $5,000,000, but it will also see an increase in accounts payable for $1,500,000.

Project B: This project requires an initial investment of $20,000,000 in equipment which will require an additional expense of $1,000,000 to install in the current facility. Consistent with other projects, the equipment will be depreciated using the MACRS Investment Class schedule. Once installed, the firm will need to increase inventory by $6,000,000. The project will last 6 years, but at the end of that period, the equipment will have no salvage value. Project C: The project is outside of the normal products sold by the firm. The project is a reconsideration of a project proposed two years ago by a former manager. At that time a marketing study costing $200,000 was done; however, the project was not undertaken. Now the firm needs to consider if this project is worth the firm’s capital investment dollars. This project would require investment in equipment of $20,000,000 with an additional cost of $5,000,000 in installation fees.

Requirements
1. Find the costs of the individual capital components:
a. long-term debt (before tax and after tax)
b. preferred stock-ings (avg. of CAPM and DCF)-

Determine the target percentages for the optimal capital structure, and then compute the WACC. (Carry weights to four decimal places. For example: 0.2973 or 29.73%)
Create a valuation spreadsheet for each of the projects mentioned above. Evaluate each project according to the following valuation methods:
a. Net Present Value of Discounted Cash Flow
     b. Internal Rate of Return
     c. Payback Period
     d. Profitability Index
Identify the sensitivity of the projects related to a 10% reduction in price and a 10% reduction in sales volume.

Provide a synopsis evaluation of each project and provide a recommendation of which project management will accept for its capital expenditures budget for the upcoming year.

Project A:
This project requires an initial investment of $20,000,000 in equipment which will cost an additional $3,000,000 to install. The firm will use the attached MACRS depreciation schedule to expense this equipment. Once the equipment is installed, the company will need to increase raw goods inventory by $5,000,000, but it will also see an increase in accounts payable for $1,500,000. With this investment, the project will last 6 years at which time the market value for the equipment will be $1,000,000.

Project B:
This project requires an initial investment of $20,000,000 in equipment which will require an additional expense of $1,000,000 to install in the current facility. Consistent with other projects, the equipment will be depreciated using the MACRS Investment Class schedule. Once installed, the firm will need to increase inventory by $6,000,000. The project will last 6 years, but at the end of that period, the equipment will have no salvage value.

Project C:
The project is outside of the normal products sold by the firm. The project is a reconsideration of a project proposed two years ago by a former manager. At that time a marketing study costing $200,000 was done; however, the project was not undertaken. Now the firm needs to consider if this project is worth the firm’s capital investment dollars. This project would require investment in equipment of $20,000,000 with an additional cost of $5,000,000 in installation fees. The project will be considered under a 6-year project cycle but would be depreciated under the 5-year MACRS schedule. At the end of the project, management estimates that the equipment could be sold at a market value of $5,000,000. This project also creates a need to increase raw goods inventory by $6,000,000.
