Cooperton Mining just announced it will cut its dividend from $ 4.14 to $ 2.27 per share and use the extra funds to expand. Prior to the​ announcement, Cooperton's dividends were expected to grow at a 3.2 % ​rate, and its share price was $ 48.86. With the planned​ expansion, Cooperton's dividends are expected to grow at a 4.7 % rate. What share price would you expect after the​ announcement? (Assume that the new expansion does not change​ Cooperton's risk.) Is the expansion a good​ investment?

Bond price: Nanotech Ltd has a bond issue maturing in seven years and paying a coupon rate of 11.39 percent (semiannual payments). The company wants to retire a portion of the issue by buying the securities in the open market. If it can refinance at 10.73 percent, Nanotech will pay $_______________ to buy back its current outstanding bonds?

Realised yield: Josh Kavern bought 10-year, 10.76 percent coupon bonds issued by the Australian Government three years ago at $913.44. If he sells these bonds, which have a face value of $1,000, at the current price of $809.05, the realised yield on the bond is ________________% (Assume annual coupons on similar coupon-paying bonds).

Last year Janet purchased a $1,000 face value corporate bond with an 9% annual coupon rate and a 25-year maturity. At the time of the purchase, it had an expected yield to maturity of 10.24%. If Janet sold the bond today for $1,051.86, what rate of return would she have earned for the past year? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to two decimal places.

An electric utility is considering a new power plant in northern Arizona. Power from the plant would be sold in the Phoenix area, where it is badly needed. Because the firm has received a permit, the plant would be legal; but it would cause some air pollution. The company could spend an additional $40 million at Year 0 to mitigate the environmental problem, but it would not be required to do so. The plant without mitigation would cost $240.41 million, and the expected cash inflows would be $80 million per year for 5 years. If the firm does invest in mitigation, the annual inflows would be $84.88 million. Unemployment in the area where the plant would be built is high, and the plant would provide about 350 good jobs. The risk adjusted WACC is 16%.

1. Calculate the NPV and IRR with mitigation. Round your answers to two decimal places. Enter your answer for NPV in millions. Do not round your intermediate calculations. For example, an answer of $10,550,000 should be entered as 10.55. Negative value should be indicated by a minus sign.

2. How should the environmental effects be dealt with when evaluating this project?
   1. The environmental effects should be ignored since the plant is legal without mitigation.
   2. The environmental effects should be treated as a sunk cost and therefore ignored.
   3. If the utility mitigates for the environmental effects, the project is not acceptable. However, before the company chooses to do the project without mitigation, it needs to make sure that any costs of "ill will" for not mitigating for the environmental effects have been considered in the original analysis.
   4. The environmental effects should be treated as a remote possibility and should only be considered at the time in which they actually occur.
   5. The environmental effects if not mitigated would result in additional cash flows. Therefore, since the plant is legal without mitigation, there are no benefits to performing a "no mitigation" analysis.
3. Should this project be undertaken?
   1. The project should be undertaken only under the "mitigation" assumption.
   2. The project should be undertaken since the IRR is positive under both the "mitigation" and "no mitigation" assumptions.
   3. The project should be undertaken since the NPV is positive under both the "mitigation" and "no mitigation" assumptions.
   4. Even when no mitigation is considered the project has a negative NPV, so it should not be undertaken.
   5. The project should be undertaken only if they do not mitigate for the environmental effects. However, they want to make sure that they've done the analysis properly due to any "ill will" and additional "costs" that might result from undertaking the project without concern for the environmental impacts.

A project has an initial requirement of $190,151 for new equipment and $11,289 for net working capital. The installation costs are expected to be $15,824. The fixed assets will be depreciated to a zero book value over the 4-year life of the project and have an estimated salvage value of $77,787. All of the net working capital will be recouped at the end of the project. The annual operating cash flow is $78,979 and the cost of capital is 14% What is the project's NPV if the tax rate is 28%?
