You are considering a new product launch. The project will cost $810,000, have a 4-year life, and have no salvage value; depreciation is straight-line to zero. Sales are projected at 200 units per year; price per unit will be $16,375, variable cost per unit will be $11,250, and fixed costs will be $550,000 per year. The required return on the project is 11 percent and the relevant tax rate is 23 percent. Based on your experience, you think the unit sales, variable cost, and fixed cost projections given here are probably accurate to within ±10 percent. a. What are the best-case and worst-case NPVs with these projections? (A negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) b. What is the base-case NPV? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) c. What is the sensitivity of your base-case NPV to changes in fixed costs? (A negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

The​ firm's cost of capital is 12​%.

6. Solving for the WACC

The WACC is used as the discount rate to evaluate various capital budgeting projects. However, it is important to realize that the WACC is an appropriate discount rate only for a project of average risk.

Analyze the cost of capital situations of the following company cases, and answer the specific questions that finance professionals need to address.

Consider the case of Turnbull Co.

Turnbull Co. has a target capital structure of 45% debt, 4% preferred stock, and 51% common equity. It has a before-tax cost of debt of 11.1%, and its cost of preferred stock is 12.2%.

If Turnbull can raise all of its equity capital from retained earnings, its cost of common equity will be 14.7%. However, if it is necessary to raise new common equity, it will carry a cost of 16.8%.

If its current tax rate is 25%, how much higher will Turnbull’s weighted average cost of capital (WACC) be if it has to raise additional common equity capital by issuing new common stock instead of raising the funds through retained earnings? (Note: Round your intermediate calculations to two decimal places.)

Turnbull Co. is considering a project that requires an initial investment of $570,000. The firm will raise the $570,000 in capital by issuing $230,000 of debt at a before-tax cost of 9.6%, $20,000 of preferred stock at a cost of 10.7%, and $320,000 of equity at a cost of 13.5%. The firm faces a tax rate of 25%. What will be the WACC for this project? _______ (Note: Round your intermediate calculations to three decimal places.)

Consider the case of Kuhn Co.

Kuhn Co. is considering a new project that will require an initial investment of $4 million. It has a target capital structure of 45% debt, 4% preferred stock, and 51% common equity. Kuhn has noncallable bonds outstanding that mature in 15 years with a face value of $1,000, an annual coupon rate of 11%, and a market price of $1555.38. 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 $9 at a price of $92.25 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 $33.35 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 25%. What will be the WACC for this project? ________(Note: Round your intermediate calculations to two decimal places.)

Suppose you observe a European call option that is priced at less than the value Max[0, S0 - K(1+r)-T].

What type of transaction should I execute to achieve the maximum benefit? How would I create a payoff table showing the outcomes of expiration?

McGilla Golf has decided to sell a new line of golf clubs. The clubs will sell for $875 per set and have a variable cost of $415 per set. The company has spent $160,000 for a marketing study that determined the company will sell 76,000 sets per year for seven years. The marketing study also determined that the company will lose sales of 8,400 sets per year of its high-priced clubs. The high-priced clubs sell at $1,305 and have variable costs of $625. The company will also increase sales of its cheap clubs by 10,400 sets per year. The cheap clubs sell for $324 and have variable costs of $129 per set. The fixed costs each year will be $13,950,000. The company has also spent $1,100,000 on research and development for the new clubs. The plant and equipment required will cost $39,300,000 and will be depreciated on a straight-line basis. The new clubs will also require an increase in net working capital of $3,425,000 that will be returned at the end of the project. The tax rate is 21 percent, and the cost of capital is 11 percent. Calculate the payback period, the NPV, and the IRR. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16. Enter your IRR answer as a percent.)

The common stock currently sells for $71 per share and has a beta of 1.05, the preferred stock has a par value of $100 and currently sells for $85 per share, and the bonds have 19 years to maturity and sell for 109 percent of par.
