Star Products Company is a growing manufacturer of automobile accessories whose stock is actively traded on the over-the-counter (OTC) market. During 2016, the Dallas-based company experienced sharp increases in both sales and earnings. Because of this recent growth, Melissa Jen, the company’s treasurer, wants to make sure that available funds are being used to their fullest. Management policy is to maintain the current capital structure proportions of 30% long-term debt, 10% preferred stock, and 60% common stock equity for at least the next 3 years. The firm is in the 40% tax bracket.

To estimate the firm’s weighted average cost of capital (WACC), Jen contacted a leading investment banking firm, which provided the financing cost data below.

Long-term debt: The firm can raise $450,000 of additional debt by selling 15-year, $1,000-parvalue, 9% coupon interest rate bonds that pay semiannual interest. It expects to net $960 per bond after flotation costs. Any debt in excess of $450,000 will have a before-tax cost, rd, of 13%.

Preferred stock: Preferred stock, regardless of the amount sold, can be issued with a $70 par value and a 14% annual dividend rate and will net $65 per share after flotation costs.

Common stock equity: The firm expects dividends and earnings per share to be $0.96 and $3.20, respectively, in 2017 and to continue to grow at a constant rate fo 11% per year. The firm’s stock currently sells for $12 per share. Star expects to have $1,500,000 of retained earnings available in the coming year. Once the retained earnings have been exhausted, the firm can raise additional funds by selling new common stock, netting $9 per share after underpricing and flotation costs.

Multiplex Inc., a public company whose stock is traded on a national stock exchange, reported the following information on its consolidated financial statements for 20X5:

Multiplex management determined that it had the following operating segments during 20X5: (1) car rental, (2) aerospace, (3) communications, (4) health and fitness products, and (5) heavy equipment manufacturing. The company assembled the following information for these industry segments for 20X5 (dollar amounts stated in millions):

Additional Information

1. The corporate headquarters had general corporate expenses totaling $35,000,000 and assets of $27,000,000 (the chief operating decision maker used neither piece of information in defining operating segment performance).
2. The car rental segment’s $9,000,000 of intersegment sales consisted of rentals to the aerospace ($4,000,000) and communications ($5,000,000) segments. The intersegment sales of $35,000,000 of the heavy equipment segment were made to the aerospace segment to use in its manufacturing operations. The heavy equipment segment realized a profit of $10,000,000 from this sale. At December 31, 20X5, $9,000,000 of this profit was unrealized from a consolidated viewpoint.
3. At December 31, 20X5, no intercompany receivables or payables were related to the intersegment car rentals. However, the heavy equipment segment had a $19,000,000 receivable from the intersegment sale to the aerospace segment. The company’s policy is to include intersegment receivables in a segment’s assets for purposes of evaluating segment performance.
