Consider the case of Kuhn Co.

1. Kuhn Co. is considering a new project that will require an initial investment of $4 million. It has a target capital structure of 35% debt, 2% preferred stock, and 63% common equity. Kuhn has noncallable bonds outstanding that mature in 15 years with a face value of $1,000, an annual coupon rate of 11%, and a market price of $1555.38. The yield on the company’s current bonds is a good approximation of the yield on any new bonds that it issues. The company can sell shares of preferred stock that pay an annual dividend of $9 at a price of $95.70 per share.

Kuhn does not have any retained earnings available to finance this project, so the firm will have to issue new common stock to help fund it. Its common stock is currently selling for $22.35 per share, and it is expected to pay a dividend of $2.78 at the end of next year. Flotation costs will represent 3% of the funds raised by issuing new common stock. The company is projected to grow at a constant rate of 8.7%, and they face a tax rate of 25%. What will be the WACC for this project?      (Note: Round your intermediate calculations to two decimal places.)

Carla Vista Co. owns a trade name that was purchased in an acquisition of Wildhorse Co.. The trade name has a book value of $3,500,000, but according to IFRS, it is assessed for impairment on an annual basis.

It has developed the following cash flow estimates related to the trade name based on internal information. Each cash flow estimate reflects Carla Vista’s estimate of annual cash flows over the next 10 years. The trade name is assumed to have no salvage value after the 10 years. (Assume the cash flows occur at the end of each year.)
