If a firm bases its growth projection on the rate of sustainable
growth, shows positive net income, and has a dividend payout
ratio of 30 percent, then the:
debt-equity ratio will remain constant while retained earnings
increase.
fixed assets will have to increase at the same rate, even if the
firm is currently operating at only 78 percent of capacity.
number of common shares outstanding will increase at the same
rate of growth.
debt-equity ratio will have to increase.
fixed assets, the debt-equity ratio, and number of common
shares outstanding will all increase.
20.
The sustainable growth rate:
is based on receiving additional external debt and equity
financing.
assumes there is no external financing of any kind.
assumes the debt-equity ratio is variable.
assumes the dividend payout ratio is equal to zero.
is normally higher than the internal growth rate.
21.
In the financial planning model, the external financing needed
(EFN) as shown on a pro forma balance sheet is equal to the
changes in assets:
plus the changes in both liabilities and equity.

Filer Manufacturing has 8.5 million shares of common stock
outstanding. The current share price is $55, and the book value
per share is $3. The company also has two bond issues
outstanding. The first bond issue has a face value of $70.4
million and a coupon rate of 7.2 percent and sells for 108.1
percent of par. The second issue has a face value of $60.4
million and a coupon rate of 7.7 percent and sells for 109.3
percent of par. The first issue matures in 7 years, the second in
28 years.
Suppose the company’s stock has a beta of 1.1. The risk-free
rate is 3.3 percent, and the market risk premium is 7.2 percent.
Assume that the overall cost of debt is the weighted average
implied by the two outstanding debt issues. Both bonds make

21. semiannual payments. The tax rate is 34 percent. What is the
company’s WACC?
(Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer
as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
WACC
%
34.
A firm’s WACC can be correctly used to discount the expected
cash flows of a new project when that project:
will be financed solely with internal equity.
will be managed by the firm’s current managers.
will be financed with the same proportions of debt and equity as
those currently used by the overall firm.
has the same level of risk as the firm’s current operations.
will be financed solely with new debt and internal equity.
35.
When computing WACC, you should use the:
pretax yield to maturity because it considers the current market
price of debt.
pretax cost of debt because most corporations pay taxes at the
same tax rate.
pretax cost of debt because it is the actual rate the firm is
paying bondholders.
aftertax cost of debt because interest is tax deductible.
current yield because it is based on the current market price of
debt.
36.
When estimating the cost of equity using the DDM, which one
of these is most apt to add error to this estimate?

22. current stock price

Samson's purchased a lot four years ago at a cost of $398,000.
At that time, the firm spent $289,000 to build a small retail
outlet on the site. The most recent appraisal on the property
placed a value of $629,000 on the property and building.
Samson’s now wants to tear down the original structure and
build a new strip mall on the site at an estimated cost of $2.3
million. What amount should be used as the initial cash flow for
new project?

All else constant, the net present value of a typical investment
project increases when:
the discount rate increases.

the rate of return decreases.
all cash inflows occur during the last year instead of
periodically throughout a project’s life.
each cash inflow is delayed by one year.

Marshall's purchased a corner lot five years ago at a cost of

lot could be used for storing outdoor inventory. The lot was

23. recently appraised at $610,000. The company now wants to
build a new retail store on the site. The building cost is
estimated at $1.1 million. What amount should be used as the

The primary reason that company projects with positive net
present values are considered acceptable is that:
the project's rate of return exceeds the rate of inflation.
they return the initial cash outlay within three years or less.
the required cash inflows exceed the actual cash inflows.
the investment's cost exceeds the present value of the cash
inflows.
they create value for the owners of the firm.
41.
Which statement concerning the net present value (NPV) of an
investment or a financing project is correct?
A financing project should be accepted if, and only if, the NPV
is exactly equal to zero.
Any type of project should be accepted if the NPV is positive
and rejected if it is negative.
An investment project that has positive cash flows for every
time period after the initial investment should be accepted.
Any type of project with greater total cash inflows than total
cash outflows, should always be accepted.
An investment project should be accepted only if the NPV is
equal to the initial cash flow.

Wilson’s Market is considering two mutually exclusive projects

24. that will not be repeated. The required rate of return is 13.9
percent for Project A and 12.5 percent for Project B. Project A
has an initial cost of $54,500, and should produce cash inflows
of $16,400, $28,900, and $31,700 for Years 1 to 3, respectively.
Project B has an initial cost of $69,400, and should produce
cash inflows of $0, $48,300, and $42,100, for Years 1 to 3,
respectively. Which project, or projects, if either, should be
accepted and why?
Project A; because its NPV is positive while Project B’s NPV is
negative
Project A; because it has the higher required rate of return
Project B; because it has the largest total cash inflow
Project B; because it has a negative NPV which indicates
acceptance
neither project; because neither has an NPV equal to or greater
than its initial cost

A project costing $6,200 initially should produce cash inflows
of $2,860 a year for three years. After the three years, the
