1. What are flotation costs and why must they be included in the initial cost of a project? Explain in detail.

Transrail is bidding on a project that it figures will cost $400,000 to perform. Using a 25% markup, it will charge $500,000, netting a profit of $100,000. However, it has been learned that another company, Rail Freight, is also considering bidding on the project. If Rail Freight does submit a bid, it figures to be a bid about $470,000. Transrail really wants this project and is considering a bid with only a 15% markup to $460,000 to ensure winning regardless of whether or not Rail Freight submits a bid.

a) Do a profit payoff table from Transrail's point of view

b) For this payoff table find Transrail's optimal decision using (1) the pessimistic approach, (2) the optimistic approach, and (3) minimax regret approach.

c) If Rail Freight is known to submit bids on only 25% of the projects it considers, what decision should Transrail make?

(Individual or component costs of capital​)

Compute the cost of the​ following:

a. A bond that has $1,000 par value​ (face value) and a contract or coupon interest rate of 9 percent. A new issue would have a floatation cost of 6 percent of the ​$1,140market value. The bonds mature in 14 years. The​ firm's average tax rate is 30 percent and its marginal tax rate is 24 percent.

b. A new common stock issue that paid a ​$1.40 dividend last year. The par value of the stock is​ $15, and earnings per share have grown at a rate of 11 percent per year. This growth rate is expected to continue into the foreseeable future. The company maintains a constant​ dividend-earnings ratio of 30 percent. The price of this stock is now $31, but 7 percent flotation costs are anticipated.

c. Internal common equity when the current market price of the common stock is ​$42. The expected dividend this coming year should be $3.10​, increasing thereafter at an annual growth rate of 9 percent. The​ corporation's tax rate is 24 percent.

d. A preferred stock paying a dividend of 8 percent on a ​$110 par value. If a new issue is​ offered, flotation costs will be 13 percent of the current price of ​$166.

e. A bond selling to yield 9 percent after flotation​ costs, but before adjusting for the marginal corporate tax rate of 24 percent. In other​ words, 9 percent is the rate that equates the net proceeds from the bond with the present value of the future cash flows​ (principal and​ interest).

a. What is the​ firm's after-tax cost of debt on the​ bond?
