ABC company is considering producing a new range of smartphones that will require it to build a new factory. Feasibility studies have been done on the factory which cost $5 million. The studies have found the following:
1. The factory will cost $25 million and will have a useful life of 20 years.
2. The land where the factory will go is currently used as a carpark for workers and it is assumed that the company will have to pay $200000 per year for their workers to park in a nearby carpark.
3. The factory will be depreciated on a straight line basis and will have a salvage value of $0 but it is believed that most of it can be sold for scrap after 20 years for $50000.

The management of Ethan plc is trying to decide on a
cost of capital to apply to the evaluation of investment projects.
The company has an issued share capital of 500,000 ordinary K1
shares, with a current market value cum-div of K1.17 per share. It
has also issued K200,000 of 10% debentures, which are redeemable at
par in five years’ time and have a current market value of K105.30
cum-interest, and K100,000 of K1 irredeemable 6% preference shares,
currently priced at K0.40 per share ex-div. The preference dividend
has just been paid, and the ordinary dividend and debenture
interest are due to be paid in the near future.
Management considers the current capital structure of the company
to be similar to their plans for its long-term capital
structure.
The ordinary share dividend will be K60,000 this year, and the
Directors have published their view that earnings and dividends
will increase by 5% a year into the indefinite future. The company
pays tax at 25% per year in the same year as profits.
Required:
a) Calculate the WACC.
b) Discuss the importance of the cost of capital in project
appraisal and highlight the impact
that a wrong discount rate would have on decision making.
