Stemway Company requires a new manufacturing facility. It found three locations; all of which would provide the needed capacity,

the only difference is the price. Location A may be purchased for $500,000. Location B may be acquired with a down payment of $100,000 and annual payments at the end of each of the next twenty years of $50,000. Location C requires $40,000 payments at the beginning of each of the next twenty-five years. Assuming Stemway borrowing costs are 8% per annum, which option is the least costly to the company?

Answer:

Location C costs least to the company as it only costs $461,160

Explanation:

We will evaluate all the three proposals

Location A Cost = $500,000

Location B

Down payment = $100,000

Annual year end payment = $50,000 for upcoming 20 years

Present value @ 8% = ({\sum \frac{1}{(1+0.08){^1}}+ \frac{1}{(1+0.08){^2}}+ ........ \frac{1}{(1+0.08){^2^0}}}) \times $50,000 = 9.818 X $50,000 = $490,900

Net Present Value = $100,000 + $490,900 = $590,900

Location C

Payment of $40,000 at the beginning of each year, which means first payment will not be discounted and remaining 24 payments will be discounted.

Thus Present Value = $40,000 +( {\sum \frac{1}{(1+0.08){^1}}+ \frac{1}{(1+0.08){^2}}+ ........ \frac{1}{(1+0.08){^2^4}}}) \times $40,000 = $40,000 + 10.529 X $40,000 = $40,000 + $421,160 = $461,160

Thus Location C costs least to the company as it only costs $461,160

Problem 16-15 MM and Taxes [LO2] Meyer & Co. expects its EBIT to be $111,000 every year forever. The firm can borrow at 8 pe
Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

a) 12.87%

b) 11.03%

Explanation:

EBIT with no debt = $111,000

net income = $111,000 x (1 - 22%) = $86,580

total value of the firm with no debt = $86,580 / 12% = $721,500

value of the firm after debt is taken = $721,500 + ($165,000 x 22%) = $757,800

debt to equity ratio after debt is taken = $165,000 / ($757,800 - $165,000) = 27.834%

new cost of equity (Re) = 12% + [(12% - 8%) x 27.834% x (1 - 22%)] = 12.87%

WACC = (0.72166 x 12.87%) + (0.27834 x 8% x 0.78) = 9.288% + 1.737% = 11.025$ = 11.03%
