A firm is considering two mutually exclusive projects, X and Y, with the following cash flows: 0 1 2 3 4 Project X -$1,000 $90 $320 $430 $700 Project Y -$1,000 $1,000 $100 $45 $55 The projects are equally risky, and their WACC is 10%. What is the MIRR of the project that maximizes shareholder value? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to two decimal places.
Suppose Happy Turtle Transportation Company is considering a project that will require $200,000 in assets. • The company is small, so it is exempt from the interest deduction limitation under the new tax law. • The project is expected to produce earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) of $50,000. • Common equity outstanding will be 25,000 shares. • The company incurs a tax rate of 25%. If the project is financed using 100% equity capital, then Happy Turtle Transportation Company’s return on equity (ROE) on the project will be (?) . In addition, Happy Turtle’s earnings per share (EPS) will be (?) . Alternatively, Happy Turtle Transportation Company’s CFO is also considering financing the project with 50% debt and 50% equity capital. The interest rate on the company’s debt will be 13%. Because the company will finance only 50% of the project with equity, it will have only 12,500 shares outstanding. Happy Turtle Transportation Company’s ROE and the…
Axon Industries needs to raise $22.41M for a new investment project. If the firm issues one-year debt, it may haveto pay an interest rate of 9.44 %, although Axon's managers believe that 5.51 % would be a fair rate given the level of risk. If the firm issues equity, they believe the equity may be underpriced by 11.26 %. What is the cost to current shareholders of financing the project out of Equity? NOTE: Provide your answers in Millions. E.G. for 100M you must enter 100.0000, for 20M you must enter 20.0000, etc.
Suppose a firm estimates its WACC to be 10%. Should the WACC be used to evaluate all of its potential projects, even if they vary in risk? If not, what might be “reasonable” costs of capital for average-, high-, and low-risk projects? If Congress increased the personal tax rate on interest, dividends, and capital gains but simultaneously reduced the rate on corporate income, what effect would this have on the average company’s capital structure? If a firm goes from zero debt to successively higher levels of debt, why would you expect its stock price to rise first, then hit a peak, and then begin to decline?
Company X is due to repay £100m of debt at the end of next year and its assets are currently worth £100m. The company has a project costing £100m now, which generates either £150m or £0 with equal probabilities in one year. Assume the company's cost of capital is 10%. Which of the following statements is the most accurate? The company's shareholders will never consider investing in the project since its expected NPV is negative The company's shareholders should invest in the project since its expected NPV is positive Undertaking the project reduces bankruptcy risks The shareholders of the company would benefit from undertaking the project because all the downside risk is borne by creditors
Quinlan Electrical has quite a few positive NPV projects from which to choose. The problem is that it has more of these projects than it can finance without issuing new stock and the board of directors refuses to issue any new shares in the foreseeable future. Quinlan's projected net income is $150.0 million, its target capital structure is 25% debt and 75% equity, and its target payout ratio is 65%. The CFO now wants to determine how the maximum capital budget would be affected by changes in capital structure policy and/or the target dividend payout policy. Versus the current policy, how much larger could the capital budget be if (1) the target debt ratio were raised to 75%, other things held constant, (2) the target payout ratio were lowered to 20%, other things held constant, and (3) the debt ratio and payout were both changed by the indicated amounts.

Laiba Corporation (LC) is considering a large-scale recapitalization. Currently, LC is financed with 100 percent equity. The beta on its common stock at the current level is 1.25, the risk free rate is 8 percent, the market return is 14 percent, and LIC faces a 40 percent federal-plus-state tax rate. Required: What is LIC’s current cost of equity? What is LIC’s unlevered beta? If the company wants to recapitalize its capital structure, increase its debt by 30% and 70% equity. What will be the new beta and new cost of equity if LC recapitalizes? What if the company recapitalize its capital structure to 50% debt and equity, what will be new beta and new cost of equity?
