1.)Turnbull Co. is considering a project that requires an initial investment of $270,000. The firm will raise the $270,000 in capital by issuing $100,000 of debt at a before-tax cost of 10.2%, $30,000 of preferred stock at a cost of 11.4%, and $140,000 of equity at a cost of 14.3%. The firm faces a tax rate of 40%. What will be the WACC for this project? (Note: Round your intermediate calculations to three decimal places.)
2.) Consider the case of Kuhn Co.
Kuhn Co. is considering a new project that will require an initial investment of $20 million. It has a target capital structure of 58% debt, 6% preferred stock, and 36% common equity. Kuhn has noncallable bonds outstanding that mature in five years with a face value of $1,000, an annual coupon rate of 10%, and a market price of $1,050.76. The yield on the company’s current bonds is a good approximation of the yield on any new bonds that it issues. The company can sell shares of preferred stock that pay an annual dividend of $8 at a price of $95.70 per share.
Kuhn does not have any retained earnings available to finance this project, so the firm will have to issue new common stock to help fund it. Its common stock is currently selling for $22.35 per share, and it is expected to pay a dividend of $2.78 at the end of next year. Flotation costs will represent 8% of the funds raised by issuing new common stock. The company is projected to grow at a constant rate of 8.7%, and they face a tax rate of 40%. What will be the WACC for this project? (Note: Round your intermediate calculations to two decimal places.)

Hagar Industrial Systems Company (HISC) is trying to decide between two different conveyor belt systems. System A costs $268,000, has a four-year life, and requires $82,000 in pretax annual operating costs. System B costs $378,000, has a six-year life, and requires $76,000 in pretax annual operating costs. Both systems are to be depreciated straight-line to zero over their lives and will have zero salvage value. HISC always needs a conveyor belt system; when one wears out, it must be replaced. Assume the tax rate is 35 percent and the discount rate is 10 percent. |

NOK Plastics is considering the acquisition of a new plastic injection-molding machine to make a line of plastic fittings. The cost of the machine and dies is $125,000. Shipping and installation is another $8,000. NOK estimates it will need a $10,000 investment in net working capital initially, which will be recovered at the end of the life of the equipment. Sales of the new plastic fittings are expected to be $350,000 annually. Cost of goods sold are expected to be 50% of sales. Additional operating expenses are projected to be $115,000 per year over the machine’s expected 5-year useful life. The machine will depreciated using a 5-year MACRS class life. The equipment will be sold at the end of its useful life (5 years) for $35,000. The tax rate is 25% and the relevant discount rate is 15%. Calculate the net present value (NPV), internal rate of return (IRR), payback period (PB), and profitability index (PI) and state whether the project should be accepted.

B.F. Pierce & Company is considering changing its capital structure. The company currently has no debt and no preferred stock, but it would like to add some debt to take advantage of low interest rates and the tax shield. Its investment banker has indicated that the pre-tax cost of debt under various possible capital structures would be as follows:
| Market Debt-to-Value Ratio | Market Equity-to-Value Ratio | Market Debt-to-Equity Ratio | Before-Tax Cost of Debt |
| (wD) | (wE) | (D/E) | (rD) |

The company uses the CAPM to estimate its cost of common equity. Currently the risk-free rate is 5%, the market risk premium is 6%, and the company’s tax rate is 35%. The company estimates that its beta now (which is unlevered because it currently has no debt) is 0.8. Based on this information, what is the firm’s weighted average cost of capital at its optimal capital structure?
