Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

a. 3 years and 3 years

b. either company can be selected

Explanation:

a. In the payback, we analyze how many years the invested amount is recovered. The computation is shown below:

= Initial investment ÷ Net cash flow

For Electric Co.

In year 0 = $100,000

In year 1 = $70,000

In year 2 = $15,000

In year 3 = $15,000

In year 4 to 10 = $10,000

If we sum the first 3 year cash inflows than it would be $100,000 which is equal to the initial investment

So, the payback period equal to

= $100,000 ÷ $100,000 = 3 years

In 3 years, the invested amount is recovered.

For Water Works

In year 0 = $100,000

In year 1 = $15,000

In year 2 = $15,000

In year 3 = $70,000

In year 4 to 10 = $10,000

If we sum the first 3 year cash inflows than it would be $100,000 which is equal to the initial investment

So, the payback period equal to

= $100,000 ÷ $100,000 = 3 years

In 3 years, the invested amount is recovered.

b. Since both the companies has same payback period so either company can be selected

Kimona Company hired you as a consultant to help estimate its cost of common equity. You have obtained the following data: D0 =

nlexa [21]

Answer:

-2.23%

Explanation:

The formula to compute the cost of common equity under the DCF method is shown below:

= Current year dividend ÷ price + Growth rate

In first case,

The current dividend would be

= $0.85 + $0.85 × 5%

= $0.85 + $0.0425

= $0.8925

The other things would remain the same

So, the cost of common equity would be

= $0.8925 ÷ $20 + 5%

= 0.044625 + 0.05

= 9.46%

In second case,

The price would be $40

The other things would remain the same

So, the cost of common equity would be

= $0.8925 ÷ $40 + 5%

= 0.0223125 + 0.05

= 7.23%

The difference would be

= 7.23% - 9.46%

= -2.23%
