Walsh Company is considering three independent projects,each of which requires a $4 million investment. The estimated internal rate of return (IRR)and cost of capital for these projects are presented here:Project H (high risk): Cost of capital = 16% IRR = 19%Project M (medium risk): Cost of capital = 12% IRR = 13%Project L (low risk): Cost of capital = 9% IRR = 8%Note that the projects’ costs of capital vary because the projects have different levels ofrisk. The company’s optimal capital structure calls for 40% debt and 60% common equity,and it expects to have net income of $7,500,000. If Walsh establishes its dividends from theresidual dividend model, what will be its payout ratio?
Consider two projects, T and F, which are mutually exclusive, have unequal lives, and are repeatable. Their cash flows are depicted in the table below: Project Year O Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 T -$105 million $62 million $62 million F -$105 million $33 million $33 million $33 million $33 million Assuming a WACC of 7.5%, use the replacement chain approach (RCA) to compare the projects and pick the better choice, given repetition. Note that the investment in project T rises by 7% when repeated, but the other cash flows stay the same. Project T is better as its NPV is higher by $89,657 O Project F is better as its NPV is higher by $89,657 O Project T is better as its NPV is higher by $797,274 O Project F is preferable without repetition, and T is preferable with repetition O Project F is better as its NPV is higher by $797,274
