a) Company U will have a FCF of $50,000 in next year. The FCF is expected to decrease by 30 percent year after next year. The FCF will then increase by 20% in third and fourth year, and will keep a constant growth rate of 3% forever. The market value of debt is $220,000, and market value of preferred shares is $80,000. If the required return on the stock is 11 percent, WACC is 9 percent, and the number of share is 18,000, what will a share of stock sell for today?
b) Assume that interest rate is 13 %. Consider the following independent projects:
Project A |
Project B |
|
Year 0 |
-$14,000 |
-$12,500 |
Year 1 |
+$2,000 |
0 |
Year 2 |
+$15,000 |
+$10,000 |
Year 3 |
+$3,000 |
+$10,000 |
Year 4 |
+$3,000 |

Year 5 |
+$7,000 |

Year 7 |
-$15,000 |
+$10,000 |
i) What is the discounted payback for Project A and Project B? Based on discounted payback rule (benchmark of 3 years), what is your decision?
ii) What is the IRR for Project A and Project B? Based on IRR, what is your decision?
i) Based on discounted payback period, both projects can be accepted, as their payack period < Benchmark period (3 years)
ii) Based on IRR rule , both projects can be accepted,as IRR> Rate (13%)
