Suppose there are two alternatives to finance a power generation project planned by ABC (Pvt.) Ltd. Alternative A is to financing the total capital of Rs. 450 Mn with equity and Alternative B is to employ Rs.150 Mn equity, Rs. 100 Mn by 14% debentures and the rest by a 15% bank loan. The corporate tax rate is 30% and the owners expects 18% dividend in both alternatives. Earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) for the project is estimated as Rs.250 Mn. a. Calculate weighted average cost of capital (WACC) for both alternatives.

A firm is evaluating a project which requires Rs.10 million in investments. The Firm's financial manager is proposing two options to finance the project. First, all equity financing; second, Rs. 5 million through 15% debentures are issued at par, and Rs. 5 million of ordinary equity. The managers expect three possible EBITS for this project, i.e., 1.5, 2, and 2.8 million. You have to determine when the manager would use the first and second financing options

The WACC is used as the discount rate to evaluate various capital budgeting projects. However, it is important to realize that the WACC is an appropriate discount rate only for a project of average risk. Analyze the cost of capital situations of the following company cases, and answer the specific questions that finance professionals need to address. Consider the case of Turnbull Co. Turnbull Co. has a target capital structure of 45% debt, 4% preferred stock, and 51% common equity. It has a before-tax cost of debt of 8.2%, and its cost of preferred stock is 9.3%. If Turnbull can raise all of its equity capital from retained earnings, its cost of common equity will be 12.4%. However, if it is necessary to raise new common equity, it will carry a cost of 14.2%. If its current tax rate is 25%, how much higher will Turnbull's weighted average cost of capital (WACC) be if it has to raise additional common equity capital by issuing new common stock instead of raising the funds through…
Turnbull Co. is considering a project that requires an initial investment of $1,708,000. The firm will raise the $1,708,000 in capital by issuing $750,000 of debt at a before-tax cost of 11.1%, $78,000 of preferred stock at a cost of 12.2%, and $880,000 of equity at a cost of 14.7%. The firm faces a tax rate of 25%. What will be the WACC for this project?

Explain how did it get the after-tax cash flow, NPV, EVA, and MVA
A project requires an initial investment of $100,000 and is expected to produce a cash inflow before tax of $27, 300 per year for five years. Company A has substantial accumulated tax losses and is unlikely to pay taxes in the foreseeable future. Company B pays corporate taxes at a rate of 21% and can claim a 100% bonus depreciation immediately on the investment. Suppose the opportunity cost of capital is 10%. Ignore inflation. Calculate the project NPV for each company. What is the IRR of the after-tax cash flows for each company?
