15. Sanitorium Brewing Company (SBC) must set its investment and dividend/repurchases policies for next year. It has 900,000 shares and its expected share price next year is $32.00. It can select from three independent projects, each of which will require a $3.5M investment. The projects have different risk levels, so SBC is appropriately evaluating them using different costs of capital. Assuming normal cashflows, the projected IRRS and costs of capital follow: Cost of Capital IRR 20% Project A: Project B: Project C: 17% 13% 10% 7% 9% SBC wants to maintain its 40% debt and 60% common equity capital structure, and it expects net income of $5.0M next year.
