Summary Introduction

Payback period:

Number of periods required for collecting initial investment is called payback period. It is traditional technique. Payback period uses normal cash flows. Therefore, the time value of money concept is ignored.

Calculate the payback period by using the following formula:

Payback period=(The year prior to full recovery of  initial investment)+(Amount of initial investment that is unrecovered at the start of the recovery yearTotal cash flow recovered in the recovery year)

Decision for payback period:

Payback period<Life of the project,  Accept the projectPayback period>Life of the project, Reject the project

Discounted payback period:

Number of periods required for collecting initial investment is called discounted payback period. It is a modern technique. Discounted Payback period uses discounted cash flows. Therefore, the time value of money concept is considered.

Calculate the discounted payback period by using the following formula:

Discounted Payback period=(The year prior to full recovery of  initial investment)+(Amount of initial investment that is unrecovered at the start of the recovery yearTotal discounted cash flow recovered in the recovery year)

Decision for payback period:

Discounted payback period<Life of the project,  Accept the projectDiscounted payback period>Life of the project, Reject the project

Cost of the project is $64,000 and cash inflows are $16,000 for six years. Cost of capital is 12%.

Moose Enterprises finds it is necessary to determine its marginal cost of capital. Moose’s current capital structure calls for 50 percent debt, 30 percent preferred stock, and 20 percent common equity. Initially, common equity will be in the form of retained earnings (Ke) and then new common stock (Kn). The costs of the various sources of financing are as follows: debt, 9.6 percent; preferred stock, 9 percent; retained earnings, 10 percent; and new common stock, 11.2 percent. a. What is the initial weighted average cost of capital? (Include debt, preferred stock, and common equity in the form of retained earnings, Ke.) b. If the firm has $18 million in retained earnings, at what size capital structure will the firm run out of retained earnings? c. What will the marginal cost of capital be immediately after that point? (Equity will remain at 20 percent of the capital structure, but will all be in the form of new common stock, Kn.) d. The 9.6 percent cost of debt referred to earlier…
7. Berkeley Farms wants to determine the minimum cost of capital point for the firm. Assume it is considering the following financial plans:  Cost      (aftertax)  Weights Plan A   Debt ..................................  4.0% 30% Preferred stock ..................  8.0 15 Common equity .................  12.0 55 Plan B   Debt ..................................  4.5% 40% Preferred stock ..................  8.5 15 Common equity .................  13.0 45 Plan C   Debt ..................................  5.0% 45% Preferred stock ..................  18.7 15 Common equity .................  12.8 40 Plan D   Debt ..................................  12.0% 50% Preferred stock ..................  19.2 15 Common equity .................  14.5 35 a. Which of the four plans has the lowest weighted average cost of capital?  Use the Kd (cost of debt) = Y(1 - T), Kp (Cost of preferred stock) = Dp/Pp - F, Ke = D1/P0 + g formulas or I will not understand.
