Firm XYZ has an outstanding project: Delta. This will be a 5-year project. The firm has acquired the land which costs $7.5 million (Hint: this is the initial cash outflow). The project requires $2.5 million in initial net working capital (This is, again, the initial cash outflow, and we assume that the net working capital is not subject to the floatation cost). XYZ needs to finance $55 million for the plant and equipment via bond, common stock, and preferred stock issues (Note this is also the initial cost, and the S55 million will be subject to the floatation cost). The following market data on XYZ's securities is current: Debt: 130,000 6.1 percent coupon bond outstanding, 25 years to maturities, selling for 104 percent of par value. The band has a par value of $2,000, and makes semi-annual payments. Common stock: 9,900,000 shares outstanding, selling for S68 per share. The beta is 1.20. Preferred stock: 400.000 shares of 4.20 percent preferred stock outstanding, selling for $87 per share and having a par value of $100 Market: 7 percent expected market risk premium: 3.1 percent risk-free rate. Floatation cost: The underwriter charges 6.5 percent on new common stock issues, 4.5 percent on new preferred stock issues, and 3 percent on new debt issues. XYZ's marginal tax rate is 25 percent.
