Mosaic Software has an opportunity to invest $10,000,000 in a new engineering remote-control system for offshore drilling platforms in partnership with two other companies. Financing for Mosaic will be split between common stock sales ($5,000,000) and a loan with an 8% per year interest rate. Mosaic’s share of the annual net cash flow is estimated to be $1,115,000 for each of the next 6 years. Mosaic is about to initiate CAPM as its common stock evaluation model. Recent analysis shows that it has a volatility rating of 1.05 and is paying a premium of 5% common stock dividend. Risk-free government bond investments are currently paying 4% per year. Is the venture financially attractive if the MARR equals (a) the cost of equity capital, and (b) the WACC?
