Part 2. IRR is 19.8%

Part 3. 3 Years

 4      800,000  0.5921        473,664          0.4823          385,802

 5      800,000  0.5194       <u> 415,495 </u>         0.4019            <u> 321,502</u>

                             NPV              $346,465                                    -$7510

IRR can be calculated by using the following formula:

IRR = R at lower %age  + (R at Higher %age - R at Lower %age) * NPV at lower Percentage / (NPV at Higher %age - NPV at Lower %age)

Now by putting values, we have:

IRR = 14%   +  (20% - 14%)  *  346,465 / (346,465 +  7510)

IRR = 14%   +  5.8%  = 19.8%

<u>Part 3.</u>

Now by putting values, we have:

Payback Period = Initial Investment / Cash flow Per Period

Payback Period = $2,400,000 / $800,000  =  3 Years

<u>Part 4.</u>

As we know that:

Simple Rate Of Return = Net operating income ÷ Initial investment

Now by putting values, we have:

Simple Rate Of Return = $320,000 / $2,400,000 = 13.33%

kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

The best estimate of the company’s cost of equity is 12%

Explanation:

Estimate of the company’s cost of equity = (Required Return as per Capital Asset Pricing Model + Cost of Equity) / 2

Required Return as per Capital Asset Pricing Model = Risk Free rate + Market Risk Premium * Beta

= 4.9 % + ( 6% * 1.2)

= 0.049 + 0.06 * 1.2

= 0.049 + 0.072

= 0.1210

= 12.10%

Cost of Equity = (Expected Dividend/Price) + Growth Rate

= [( $ 1.30 * 1.08) / $ 36] + 8%

= 0.039 + 0.08

= 0.1190

= 11.90%

The best estimate of the company’s cost of equity = (12.10 % + 11.90 % )/ 2

=  24% / 2

= 12%

Hence, the best estimate of the company’s cost of equity is 12%
