Financing S&S Air’s Expansion Plans with a Bond Issue
Mark Sexton and Todd Story, the owners of S&S Air, have decided to expand their operations. They instructed their newly hired financial analyst, Chris Guthrie, to enlist an underwriter to help sell $20 million in new 10-year bonds to finance construction. Chris has entered into discussions with Renata Harper, an underwriter from the firm of Crowe & Mallard, about which bond features S&S Air should consider and what coupon rate the issue will likely have.
Although Chris is aware of the bond features, he is uncertain as to the costs and benefits of some features, so he isn’t clear on how each feature would affect the coupon rate of the bond issue. You are Renata’s assistant, and she has asked you to prepare a memo to Chris describing the effect of each of the following bond features on the coupon rate of the bond. She would also like you to list any advantages or disadvantages of each feature.

its capital.
a) What is the present value of the yearly cash flows? Use a
Time Value of Money function for full credit. (round to nearest
dollar)
b) What is the net present value of the project? (round to
nearest dollar)
c) What is the internal rate of return of the project? Use a
Time Value of Money function for full credit. (round to two

what is the firms' weighted average cost of capital? please show me weight calculation for each capital source.
A small manufacturer is considering an equipment replacement
project. The new equipment would have an installed cost of
$125,000 and would replace existing equipment that was
purchased 3 years ago at an installed cost of $80,000. If the
company moves forward with the replacement, it could sell the
old equipment for $25,000. Purchasing the new equipment
would result in the company's current assets increasing by
$12,000 and current liabilities increasing by $9,000. The
company uses the 5-year MACRS table for depreciation, and is taxed at
21%.
a) What is the accumulated depreciation of the old equipment?
b) What is the current book value of the old equipment?
c) What is the amount of depreciation recapture/recovery?
d) What is the tax on the sale of the old equipment?
e) What are the after-tax proceeds from the sale of the old
equipment?
