Answer:

Risk-free rate = 3.5%

Market risk-premium = 6.9%

Cost of equity (Ke) = ?

Ke = Rf +β(Rm - Rf)

Ke = Rf + Market risk premium

Ke = 3.5 + 6.9

Ke = 10.4%

Cost of debt (Kd) = 5.4%

Market value of debt (D) = 12

Market value of equity (E) = 88

Market value of the company (V) = 100

WACC = Ke(E/) + Kd(D/V)(1-T)

WACC = 10.4(88/100) + 5.4(12/100)(1-0.40)

WACC = 9.152 +  0.3888

WACC = 9.54%

Explanation:

In this case, there is need to calculate cost of equity according to capital asset pricing model, which is risk-free rate plus market risk-premium.

Then, we will calculate the weighted average cost of capital, which equals cost of equity multiplied by the proportion of equity in the capital  structure plus after-tax cost of debt multiplied by the proportion of debt in the capital structure. Since the proportion of debt in the capital structure is 12%(12/100), the proportion of equity will be 88%(88/100).

Nper = 30*12 = 360

PV = 650,000

Using the MS Excel function:

Monthly payment = PMT(RATE, NPER, -PV)

The management of urbine corporation is considering the purchase of a machine that would cost $340,000 would last for 4 years, a
attashe74 [19]

The net present value of the proposed project is closest to -$80,822.

Since the project saves $80,000 in costs each year, we treat these savings income for the next 4 years. We then calculate the Present value Interest Factor of an annuity using the formula :

PVIF of an annuity = { [ 1 - [ (1+r)⁻ⁿ ] } ÷ r

PVIF of an annuity = { [ 1 - [ (1.09)⁻⁴ ] } ÷ 0.09

PVIF of an annuity = 3.240 (rounded to three decimals)

PV of the cost savings = (3.240*80000) = $2,59,178 (rounded to nearest $)

NPV = PV of cost savings - Value of investment

NPV = 2,59,178 - 3,40,000
