The common stock currently sells for $73 per share and has a beta of 1.15, the preferred stock has a par value of $100 and currently sells for $83 per share, and the bonds have 17 years to maturity and sell for 107 percent of par. The market risk premium is 7.1 percent, T-bills are yielding 3.1 percent, and the company’s tax rate is 23 percent.

The firm’s market value capital structure is $503,910,000.

The rate the firm should use to discount the project’s cash flows is 9.33%.

a.

We will begin by finding the market value of each type of financing. We find:

Market value of debt = MVD = 105,000*($1,000)*(1.07) = $25,750,000

Market value of preferred cost = MVP = 220,000*($83) = $18,260,000

Market value of equity = MVE = 6,300,000*($73) = $459,900,000

And the total market value of the firm is:

V = $25,750,000 + 18,260,000+ 459,900,000

V = $503,910,000

b.

So, the market value weights of the company's financing are:

D/V = $25,750,000/$503,910,000 = 0.0511

P/V = $18,260,000/$503,910,000 = 0.0362

E/V = $459,900,000/$503,910,000 = 0.9127

For projects equally as risky as the firm itself, the WACC should be used as the discount rate.

First, we can find the cost of equity using the CAPM. The cost of equity is:

RE = .031 + 1.15(.071)

RE = 0.1030, or 10.03%

The cost of debt is the YTM of the bonds, so:

P0 = $1,070 = $26.50(PVIFAR%,34) + $1,000(PVIFR%,34)

R = 2.228%

YTM = 2.228% × 2

YTM = 4.46%

And the aftertax cost of debt is:

RD = (1 - .22)(.0446)

RD = .0348, or 3.48%

The cost of preferred stock is:

RP = $3.60/$73

RP = .0493, or 4.93%

Now we can calculate the WACC as:

WACC = 0.0511(.0348) + 0.0362(.0493) + 0.9127(.1003)

WACC =0.0933, or 9.33%

Hence, The firm’s market value capital structure is $503,910,000.

The rate the firm should use to discount the project’s cash flows is 9.33%.

B  currently selling = $30 per pound

produce cost = $28 per pound

C would sell =  $60 per pound

produce additional cost = $24 per pound

to find out

What is the differential cost of producing Product C

solution

we get differential cost of producing product C is express as

Why should employees be wary of participating in the grapevine in a business
Kaylis [27]

Although the grapevine supplements what formal communication does not provide sometimes, and creates a sense of unity among employees, they should be wary due it carries partial information and it's more based on rumors; so it's not always trustworthy, especially when it comes to business, because important decisions depend on reliable sources to ensure favorable outcomes.

Explanation:

Screening and evaluation is the third step in a new product development process, and it should work like a funnel. All the ideas generated during the previous stage must be analyzed and only workable ideas should continue the process.
