McCormick & Company is considering a project that requires an initial investment of $24 million to build a new plant and purchase equipment. The investment will be depreciated as a modified accelerated cost recovery system (MACRS) seven-year class asset. The new plant will be built on some of the company's land, which has a current, after-tax market value of $4.3 million. The company will produce bulk units at a cost of $130 each and will sell them for $420 each. There are annual fixed costs of $500 thousand. Unit sales are expected to be $150,000 each year for the next six years, at which time the project will be abandoned. At that time, the plant and equipment is expected to be worth $8 million (before tax) and the land is expected to be worth $5.4 million (after tax). To supplement the production process, the company will need to purchase $1 million worth of inventory. That inventory will be depleted during the final year of the project. The company has $100 million of debt outstanding with a yield to maturity of 8 percent, and has $150 million of equity outstanding with a beta of 0.9. The expected market return is 13 percent, and the risk-free rate is 5 percent. The company's marginal tax rate is 40 percent.

6. Create an after-tax cash flow timeline.

7. What are the total expected cash flows at the end of year six? The $4.3 million is an opportunity cost and must be included at date 0 as a cash outflow. If the project is accepted, however, the land can be sold in six years for $5.4 million.

8. Find the NPV using the after-tax WACC as the discount rate.

9. Find the IRR.

10. Should the project be accepted? Discuss whether NPV or IRR creates the best decision rule.

Bradley-Link’s December 31, 2018, balance sheet included the following items:

Long-Term Liabilities

($ in millions) 7.0% convertible bonds, callable at 102 beginning in 2019, due 2022 (net of unamortized discount of $3) [note 8] $247

11.0% registered bonds callable at 105 beginning in 2028, due 2032 (net of unamortized discount of $1) [note 8] 56

Shareholders’ Equity 5 Equity—stock warrants

Note 8: Bonds (in part) The 7.0% bonds were issued in 2005 at 98.0 to yield 10%. Interest is paid semiannually on June 30 and December 31. Each $1,000 bond is convertible into 50 shares of the Company’s no par common stock.

The 11.0% bonds were issued in 2009 at 103 to yield 10%. Interest is paid semiannually on June 30 and December 31. Each $1,000 bond was issued with 50 detachable stock warrants, each of which entitles the holder to purchase one share of the Company’s no par common stock for $20, beginning 2019.

On January 3, 2019, when Bradley-Link’s common stock had a market price of $27 per share, Bradley-Link called the convertible bonds to force conversion. 90% were converted; the remainder were acquired at the call price. When the common stock price reached an all-time high of $32 in December of 2019, 40% of the warrants were exercised.

Required: 1. Prepare the journal entries that were recorded when each of the two bond issues was originally sold in 2005 and 2009.

2. Prepare the journal entry to record (book value method) the conversion of 90% of the convertible bonds in January 2019 and the retirement of the remainder.

3. Assume Bradley-Link induced conversion by offering $130 cash for each bond converted. Prepare the journal entry to record (book value method) the conversion of 90% of the convertible bonds in January 2019.

4. Assume Bradley-Link induced conversion by modifying the conversion ratio to exchange 55 shares for each bond rather than the 50 shares provided in the contract. Prepare the journal entry to record (book value method) the conversion of 90% of the convertible bonds in January 2019.

5. Prepare the journal entry to record the exercise of the warrants in December 2019.
