Giangelo Corporation would like to venture in manufacturing a specialized tool that is required by a semi-conductor company. In order to accomplish this, it is considering two options that both require raising large amount of funds. First option (Project X) is the construction of a factory building and acquisition of machineries for an estimated cost of P30 million. The other alternative (Project Y) is the acquisition of an existing company that manufactures the same tool at a price of P50 million. In order to fund the project, the Company will have to apply for a loan from a bank and issue shares of stocks. The management contemplated a more leveraged approach by availing the 70% of the financial requirements through loan borrowing and the rest from the issuance of shares. The interest on bank loan is at 11% per annum while the issuance of shares will require return to stockholders at 8% per annum. The applicable income tax rate is 25%. Both of the projects will have estimated life of 10 years with no salvage value. The following are the information on the related revenues and expenses of the two projects. Project X Project Y Annual revenue P 20,000,000 P30,000,000 Annual cash cost and expenses excluding interest P 12,700,000 P18,000,000 What is your recommendation to the management? Provide support.

Giangelo Corporation would like to venture in manufacturing a specialized tool that is required

by a semi-conductor company. In order to accomplish this, it is considering two options that

both require raising large amount of funds. First option (Project X) is the construction of a

factory building and acquisition of machineries for an estimated cost of P30 million. The other

alternative (Project Y) is the acquisition of an existing company that manufactures the same

tool at a price of P50 million.

return to stockholders at 8% per annum. The applicable income tax rate is 25%.
