- Cost of Capital, Net Present Value Leakam Companys product engineering department has developed a new product that has a 3-year life cycle. Production of the product requires development of a new process that requires a current 100,000 capital outlay. The 100,000 will be raised by issuing 60,000 of bonds and by selling new stock for 40,000. The 60,000 in bonds will have net (after-tax) interest payments of 3,000 at the end of each of the 3 years, with the principal being repaid at the end of Year 3. The stock issue carries with it an expectation of a 17.5% return, expressed in the form of dividends at the end of each year (with 7,000 in dividends expected for each of the next 3 years). The sources of capital for this investment represent the same proportion and costs that the company typically has. Finally, the project will produce after-tax cash inflows of 50,000 per year for the next 3 years. Required: 1. Compute the cost of capital for the project. (Hint: The cost of capital is a weighted average of the two sources of capital, where the weights are the proportion of capital from each source.) 2. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION Compute the NPV for the project. Explain why it is not necessary to subtract the interest payments and the dividend payments and appreciation from the inflow of 50,000 in carrying out this computation.arrow_forwardEXCESS CAPACITY Krogh Lumbers 2019 financial statements are shown here. Krogh Lumber: Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2019 (thousands of dollars) Krogh Lumber: Income Statement for December 31, 2019 (thousands of dollars) a. Assume that the company was operating at full capacity in 2019 with regard to all items except fixed assets; fixed assets in 2019 were being utilized to only 75% of capacity. By what percentage could 2020 sales increase over 2019 sales without the need for an increase in fixed assets? b. Now suppose 2020 sales increase by 25% over 2019 sales. Assume that Krogh cannot sell any fixed assets. All assets other than fixed assets will grow at the same rate as sales; however, after reviewing industry averages, the firm would like to reduce its operating costs/sales ratio to 82% and increase its total liabilities-to-assets ratio to 42%. The firm will maintain its 60% dividend payout ratio, and it currently has 1 million shares outstanding. The firm plans to raise 35% of its 2020 forecasted interest-bearing debt as notes payable, and it will issue bonds for the remainder. The firm forecasts that its before-tax cost of debt (which includes both short- and long-term debt) is 11%. Any stock issuances or repurchases will be made at the firms current stock price of 40. Develop Kroghs projected financial statements like those shown in Table 16.2. What are the balances of notes payable, bonds, common stock, and retained earnings?arrow_forwardNet present value method for a service company Coast-to-Coast Inc. is considering the purchase of an additional delivery vehicle for 70,000 on January 1, 20Y1. The truck is expected to have a five-year life with an expected residual value of 15,000 at the end of five years. The expected additional revenues from the added delivery capacity are anticipated to be 65,000 per year for each of the next five years. A driver will cost 40,000 in 20Y1, with an expected annual salary increase of 2,000 for each year thereafter. The annual operating costs for the truck are estimated to be 6,000 per year. a. Determine the expected annual net cash flows from the delivery truck investment for 20Y120Y5. b. Compute the net present value of the investment, assuming that the minimum desired rate of return is 12%. Use the present value table appearing in Exhibit 2 of this chapter. c. Is the additional truck a good investment based on your analysis? Explain.arrow_forward
