Lancashire Railway Company (LRC) has two divisions, L and H. Division L is the company’s low-risk division and would have a weig

hted average cost of capital of 8% if it was operated as an independent company. Division H is the company’s high-risk division and would have a weighted average cost of capital of 14% if it was operated as an independent company. Because the two divisions are the same size, the company has a composite weighted average cost of capital of 11%. Division H is considering a project with an expected return of 12%. Should Lancashire Railway Company (LRC) accept or reject the project?

Answer:

Lancashire Railway Company (LRC)

Lancashire Railway Company (LRC) should reject the project.  The basis for rejecting Division H's project is that its return (12%) is less than the risk-based cost of capital for the division (14%).

Explanation:

a) Data:

Division L's weighted-average cost of capital = 8%

Division H's weighted-average cost of capital = 14%

Weight of Division L = 50%

Weight of Division H = 50%

Company composite weighted average cost of capital = 11% (8% * 50%) + (14% * 50%)

Expected return from a proposed project for Division H = 12%

In the income statement, the total revenues and the total expenses are recorded.  

If the total revenues are more than the total expenditure then the company earns net income

And, If the total revenues are less than the total expenditure then the company have a net loss

This net income or net loss would reflect in the statement of the retained earning account.

Income tax expense = (Net Sales + interest revenue- cost of good sold -  administrative expense - selling expenses - interest expense) × income tax rate  

= ($2,409,400 + $38,100 - $1,463,800 - $222,000 - $286,700 - $48,900) × 30%

= $426,100 × 30%
