a)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The cost of capital of the project.

Introduction:

The difference between the present value of cash inflows and the present value of cash outflows over a period of time is known as the Net Present value.

a)

Expert Solution
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The initial investment for the project is $83,600,000 and it creates an annual cash inflow of $18,800,000 for 12 years. The project NPV is $66,000,000 and the IRR is 20%.

It is given that the IRR must be less than 20%. However, it is given as 20%. Thus, the NPV will become zero.

Hence, Company S should discount the cash flows at less than 20%, as the NPV is positive.

b)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The cost of capital of the firm.

Introduction:

The difference between the present value of cash inflows and the present value of cash outflows for a particular period is known as the Net Present value. Cost of capital is the cost of long term financing of the firm.

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The initial investment for the project is $83,600,000 and it generates an annual cash inflow of $18,800,000 for 12 years. The project NPV is $66,000,000 and the IRR is 20%.

 Explanation:

When the initial investment I0, annual cash flow (AC), rate of interest r, and the time period n is given NPV can be calculated using the below equation:

NPV=AC((1+r)n1)r(1+r)nI0

By trial and error method let us assume the cost of capital to be 0.07.

NPV=18,800,000(((1+0.07)121)0.07(1+0.07)12)83,600,000=(18,800,000×7.942686)83,600,000=149,322,502.483,600,000=65,722,502.38

When substituting 11%, NPV is $65,722,502.38. The NPV is nearly equal to the given NPV $66,000,000. Thus, cost of capital of the firm is 7% (approximately).
