While a marketing genius, the CEO has very little experience in
finance, and would like to simply choose ‘Project A’ because “it
earns a higher return for the company.”
a. Explain (in words and graphically) why the CEO’s reasoning
could be flawed.

6. b. If your firm has a cost of capital of 8%, how much value will
the firm lose out on by choosing the project with the highest
IRR?
10) Wind Power Systems has 20-year, semi-annual bonds
outstanding with a 5 percent coupon. The face amount of each
bond is $1,000. These bonds are currently selling for 114
percent of face value. What is the company's pre-tax cost of
debt? If the company has a 38% marginal tax rate, what is its
after tax cost of debt?
11) National Home Rentals has a beta of 1.24, a stock price of
$22, and recently paid an annual dividend of $0.94 a share. The
dividend growth rate is 4.5 percent. The market has a 10.6
percent rate of return and a risk premium of 7.5 percent. What
is the firm's cost of equity?
12) The Daily News had net income of $121,600 of which 40

7. percent was distributed to the shareholders as dividends. During
the year, the company sold $75,000 worth of common stock.
What is the cash flow to stockholders?
13) Phillips Equipment has 80,000 bonds outstanding with a par
value of $1,000 each and a quoted price of 103. The bonds carry
a 7.75% coupon that is payable semiannually and mature in 25
years. The company also has 750,000 shares of 7 percent
preferred stock and 2.5 million shares of common stock
outstanding. The preferred stock sells for $65 a share. The
common stock has a beta of 1.34 and sells for $42 a share. The
U.S. Treasury bill is yielding 2.8 percent and the return on the
market is 11.2 percent. The corporate tax rate is 38 percent.
What is the firm's weighted average cost of capital?

8. 14) Consider a project that costs $100,000 to start and has cash
flows of $45,000 in year 1, $65,000 in year 2, and $34,000 in
year 3.
a. If your firm’s cost of capital is 10%, what is the NPV and
IRR for this project?
b. What is this projects payback period?
c. Now assume that you have calculated annual net income
figures of $11,666 in year 1, $51,666 in year 2, and $-19,333 in
year 3 for this project. If the average book value of the project
is $50,000, what is the Average Accounting Return?
15) R.S. Green has 250,000 shares of common stock outstanding
at a market price of $28 a share. Next year's annual dividend is
expected to be $1.55 a share. The dividend growth rate is 2

9. percent. The firm also has 7,500 bonds outstanding with a face
value of $1,000 per bond. The bonds carry a 7 percent coupon,
pay interest semiannually, and mature in 7.5 years. The bonds
are selling at 98 percent of face value. The company's tax rate is
34 percent. What is the firm's weighted average cost of capital?
16) MacLeod Manufacturing Company is trying to calculate its
cost of capital for use in making capital budgeting decisions.
Mr. Bailey, the vice-president of finance, has given you the
following information and has asked you to compute the
weighted average cost of capital.
The company currently has outstanding a bond with a 10.6%
coupon rate and another bond with an 8.2% coupon rate. The
firm as been informed by its investment banker that bonds of
equal risk and credit rating are now selling to yield 11.5%. The
common stock has a price of $60 and an expected dividend of
$1.95 per share. The last four per share dividends paid by the
company have been $1.80, $1.64, $1.49, and $1.35. The
preferred stock is selling for $80 per share and pays a dividend
of $7.60 per share. The corporate tax rate is 30%, and the
target (or optimal) capital structure is 25% debt, 10% preferred
stock, and 65% common stock. What is MacLeod’s weighted
average cost of capital?

10. 17) R.S. Green has 250,000 shares of common stock outstanding
at a market price of $28 a share. Next year's annual dividend is
expected to be $1.55 a share. The dividend growth rate is 2
percent. The firm also has 7,500 bonds outstanding with a face
value of $1,000 per bond. The bonds carry a 7 percent coupon,
pay interest semiannually, and mature in 7.5 years. The bonds
are selling at 98 percent of face value. The company's tax rate is
34 percent. What is the firm's weighted average cost of capital?

11. 18) You want to buy a house for $350,000. The bank will loan
you 85% of the purchase price. The mortgage terms are “30
years, monthly payments, and 9% APR.”
a. How much will your monthly mortgage payments be?
b. In order to purchase the house you have to come up with a
down payment (i.e. portion of the house price that the bank will
not lend you). Despite saving for a few years, you are forced to
borrow half of the down payment from your parents. You and
your parents agree to the following terms for the loan 3% APR,
paid back in 10 years with monthly payments. What are the
monthly payments you will make to your parents?
c. Over the next 30 years, assuming that you stay in the house,
how much will you have paid, in total, for the house?

12. 19) When projects have large costs associated with wrapping
them up (i.e. a mine or nuclear power plant, etc…) it is possible
to calculate multiple IRRs (i.e. two discount rates that result in
an NPV of $0.00). Your boss just emailed you the NPV profile
for a proposed copper mine project, but he is confused about
what it tells us. (3)
What should you tell your boss about how to interpret the above
curve?
20) Travis & Sons has a capital structure which is based on 40

13. percent debt, 5 percent preferred stock, and 55 percent common
stock. The pre-tax cost of debt is 7.5 percent, the cost of
preferred is 9 percent, and the cost of common stock is 13
percent. The company's tax rate is 39 percent. The company is
considering a project that is equally as risky as the overall firm.
This project has initial costs of $325,000 and annual cash
inflows of $87,000, $279,000, and $116,000 over the next three
years, respectively. What is the projected net present value of
this project?
