DIY is considering a project that lasts for 9 years. The company currently has debt/equity ratio of 0.25, cost of equity of 15.58%, and cost of debt of 5%. The project requires a machine that costs $96,000 and has a CCA rate of 35%. The salvage value is $12,000 at year 9 and the asset class terminates since the machine is the only asset in the class. The machine will generate $32,000 before-tax cash flow in the first year, which grows at 5% per year. The corporate tax rate is 40%. The project will be financed by 80% internal equity and 20% new borrowing. Due to the pandemic, the government will offer a subsidized loan at 3% but require repaying 30%, 40% and 30% of the loan at the end of year 7, 8 and 9, respectively. The flotation cost of new borrowing is 6%. What is the NPV of the project? (Use the APV method)

Expert Solution

Given capital borrowing options given

If 100%

cost of equity =0.25%

cost of debt=5%

debt :equity=15.28%

but finally DIY considered to bring capital as

80%=Equity, 20%=debt

so cost of new capital

(Cost of Capital for New Project) = 80% of equity+20%of debt

Cost of capital = 0.80 * 15.58% + 0.20 * 3%

= 12.46% + 0.60%

= 13.06%

2. Salvage value is given at end so depreciation to be find out and at end profit/loss transferred to profit and loss account

Here assumption taken is machinery purchased at the starting of the year so full depreciation provided

4. Calculation of NPV

NPV = Total Discounted Cash Flows - Initial Cash Outflows

= $136,928- $ 96,000 = $40,928
