FIN 550 Midterm Spring 2020 Finite Project [18 points]: A firm has three years remaining on an existing finite project. Management is evaluating an Enhancement Opportunity (new project) that lowers SG&A expenses and reduces the amount of Requ
ired Cash necessary to complete this existing project. This Enhancement Opportunity will not materially affect COGS or any other net operating work capital accounts such as A/R, Inventory and A/P. Projected Capital Expenditures (Capex) will be $18 million in 2019, $6 million in 2020, and $4 million in 2021. Assume t
hat all Capex will be spent at the beginning of each year (for instance, the $18 million 2019 Capex will be spent at time = O
J. Assume that you recognize operating cash flows (ie. Income statement items} in the middle of the year. Assume that the Net PP&E can be sold for $11 million at the end of 2021, and that you "recoup" (free up) the Required Cash two months after the sale of the equipment. You estimate the WACC of this Enhancement Opportunity at 9.0%

You have the following initial information on CMR Co. on which to base your calculations and discussion for questions 1) and 2):• Current long-term and target debt-equity ratio (D:E) = 1:4• Corporate tax rate (TC) = 30%• Expected Inflation = 1.75%• Equity beta (E) = 1.6385• Debt beta (D) = 0.2055• Expected market premium (rM – rF) = 6.00%• Risk-free rate (rF) = 2.15%
1) The CEO of CMR Co., for which you are CFO, has requested that you evaluate a potential investment in a new project. The proposed project requires an initial outlay of $7.15 billion. Once completed (1 year from initial outlay) it will provide a real net cash flow of $575 million in perpetuity following its completion. It has the same business risk as CMR Co.’s existing activities and will be funded using the firm’s current target D:E ratio.
