Your sister, who is the manager, has proposed an expansion of plant facilities at an expected cost of $26,000,000. Two alternative plans have been suggested as methods of financing the expansion. Each plan is briefly described as follows:
Plan 1. Issue $26,000,000 of 20-year, 8% notes at face amount

The
Net income has remained relatively constant over the past several years. The expansion program is expected to increase yearly income before bond interest and income tax from $2,667,000 in the previous year to $5,000,000 for this year. Your sister has asked you, as the company treasurer, to prepare an analysis of each financing plan.

The investor is wondering what such a property must sell for after one year in order to earn a 20 percent return (IRR) on equity. b. The lender is now concerned that if the property does not sell, investor may have to carry the property for one additional year. He believes that he could rent it (starting in year 2) and realize a net cash flow before debt service of $1,440 per month. However, he would have to make an additional $7,440 in interest payments on his loan during that time, and then sell.

You have estimated the initial investment as $1,000,000 and the annual pre-tax cash flow over the next 10 years as $200,000 at which point the operation will be obsolete. If GBEI decides to invest in the lumber mill operation, it will be financed using the same proportions of debt and equity that GWEI currently uses. You have collected information on a publicly-traded lumber products company whose primary line of business is similar to GBEI’s lumber mill operation – this has led you to recommend a discount rate of 11.27% for this investment. Assume straight line depreciation. 1. Calculate the NPV, Payback Period, and Profitability Index of the lumber mill operation.arrow_forward
