- Calculating Flotation Costs [LO4] Suppose your company needs $24 million to build a new assembly line. Your target debt-equity ratio is .75. The flotation cost for new equity is 7 percent, but the flotation cost for debt is only 3 percent. Your boss has decided to fund the project by borrowing money because the flotation costs are lower and the needed funds are relatively small.a. What do you think about the rationale behind borrowing the entire amount?b. What is your company’s weighted average flotation cost, assuming all equity is raised externally?arrow_forwardHw.16. Blue Angel, Inc., a private firm in the holiday gift industry, is considering a new project. The company currently has a target debt–equity ratio of .45, but the industry target debt–equity ratio is .40. The industry average beta is 1.30. The market risk premium is 8 percent, and the risk-free rate is 6 percent. Assume all companies in this industry can issue debt at the risk-free rate. The corporate tax rate is 35 percent. The project requires an initial outlay of $676,000 and is expected to result in a $96,000 cash inflow at the end of the first year. The project will be financed at the company’s target debt–equity ratio. Annual cash flows from the project will grow at a constant rate of 6 percent until the end of the fifth year and remain constant forever thereafter. Calculate the NPV of the project.arrow_forwardEA4.
