a)
To determine: The unlevered value for Company T.
Introduction:
The unlevered cost of capital is an assessment using either an actual debt-free or hypothetical to measure a firm’s cost to implement a particular capital project. The unlevered cost of capital must demonstrate whether the project is less expensive than a levered cost of capital.
b)
To determine: The levered value for Company T.
Introduction:
The leverage can also refer to the amount of debt used to finance assets. Leverage uses borrowed funds or various financial instruments to increase the
c)
To determine: The amount of debt that is necessary for initial expansion.
Introduction:
Debt is a money borrowed by one party from another that is used by many companies and individuals to make large purchase.
d)
To determine: The debt-to-value ratio and WACC.
Introduction:
WACC (Weighted Average Cost of Capital) is the rate that a company is expected to pay to all the security holders, on an average, in order to finance its assets.
Debt is a money borrowed by one party from another that is used by many companies and individuals to make large purchase.
e)
To determine: The levered value of the expansion using the WACC method.
Introduction:
The leverage can also refer to the amount of debt used to finance assets. Leverage uses borrowed funds or various financial instruments to increase the returns on the investment. If a company has high leverage, it means that it has more debt than equity.

- Please be accuratearrow_forwardSambonoza Enterprises projects its sales next year to be $4 million and expects to earn 5 percent of that amount after taxes. The firm is currently in the process of projecting its financing needs and has made the following assumptions (projections): 1. Current assets will equal 20 percent of sales, and fixed assets will remain at their current level of $1 million. 2. Common equity is currently $0.8 million, and the firm pays out half its after-tax earnings in dividends. 3. The firm has short-term payables and trade credit that normally equal 10 percent of sales, and it has no long- term debt outstanding. What are Sambonoza's financing requirements (i.e., total assets) and discretionary financing needs (DFN) for the coming year?arrow_forward6. Lucron Corp. is considering a project that will cost $310,000 and will generate after-tax cash flows of $96,000 per year for 5 years. The firm's WACC is 12% and its target D/E ratio is 2/3. The flotation cost for debt is 4% and the flotation cost for equity is 8%. What would be the new cost of the project after adjusting for flotation costs? A) $328,390 B$329,787 $331,197 D) $329,840 E) $290,160 7. When calculating weights for the WACC, it has become relatively common to use Net Debt. How is Net Debt calculated? A) Net Debt = Total amount of debt - Cash & Risk-Free Securities B) Net Debt = Total amount of debt + Cash & Risk-Free Securities C) Net Debt = Long-term Debt - Short-term Debt D) Net Debt Short-term Debt-Long-term Debt E) Net Debt- Long-term Debt-Short-term Debt + Cash & Risk-Free Securities Please use the following information to answer the next THREE questions.

- what is the present value of the tax shield for the following project? the initial investment is $300,000. the project will last for 6 years, at which time the asset will be sold for $90,000. the asset will be depreciated on a declining balance basis at a rate of 20 percent. the firm's marginal tax rate is 40 percent. the firm's required rate of return is 8 percent a) 16,204.36 b) 82,539.68 c) 98,744.04 d) 66,335.32arrow_forwardPlease solve the below with detailed explanationarrow_forwardA firm is considering taking a project that will produce $12 million of revenue per year. Cash expenses will be $5 million, and depreciation expenses will be $1 million per year. If the firm takes that project, then it will reduce the cash revenues of an existing project by $3 million.

Assume a 21 percent marginal corporate tax rate.arrow_forwardWoC Inc. wants to increase its free cash flow by P180 million during the coming year, which should result in a higher EVA and stock price. The CFO has made these projections for the upcoming year: * EBIT is projected to equal P850 million. * Gross capital expenditures are expected to total to P360 million versus depreciation of P120 million, so its net capital expenditures should total P240 million. * The tax rate is 40%. * There will be no changes in cash or marketable securities, nor will there be any changes in notes payable or accruals. What increase in net working capital (in millions) would enable the firm to meet its target increase in FCF?arrow_forwardSuppose Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company is considering divesting one of its manufacturing plants. The plant is expected to generate free cash flows of $1.50 million per year, growing at a rate of 2.5% per year. Goodyear has an equity cost of capital of 8.5%, a debt cost of capital of 7.0%, a marginal corporate tax rate of 35%, and a debt-equity ratio of 2.6. If the plant has average risk and Goodyear plans to maintain a constant debt-equity ratio, what after-tax amount must it receive for the plant for the divestiture to be profitable? A divestiture would be profitable if Goodyear received more than $ million after tax. (Round to one decimal place.)arrow_forward
