14. Solving for the WACC The WACC is used as the discount rate to evaluate various capital budgeting projects. However, it is important to realize that the WACC is an appropriate discount rate only for a project of average risk. Analyze the cost of capital situations of the following company cases, and answer the specific questions that finance professionals need to address. Consider the case of Turnbull Co. 58% debt, 6% preferred stock, and 36% common equity. It has a before-tax cost of debt of 11.1%, and Turnbull Co. has a target capital structure its cost of preferred stock is 12.2%. If Turnbull can raise all of its equity capital from retained earnings, its cost of common equity will be 14.7%. However, if it is necessary to raise new common equity, it will carry a cost of 16.8%. If its current tax rate is 25%, how much higher will Turnbull's weighted average cost of capital (WACC) be if it has to raise additional common equity capital by issuing new common stock instead of raising the funds through retained earnings? (Note: Round your intermediate calculations to two decimal places.) O 1.03% O 0.68% O 0.91% 0.76% Turnbull Co. is considering a project that requires an initial investment of $270,000. The firm will raise the $270,000 in capital by issuing $100,000 of debt at a before-tax cost of 10.2%, $30,000 of preferred stock at a cost of 11.4%, and $140,000 of equity at a cost of 14.3%. The firm faces a tax rate of 25%. What will be the WACC for this project? (Note: Round your intermediate calculations to three decimal places.) Consider the case of Kuhn Co. Kuhn Co. is considering a new project that will require an initial investment of $4 million. It has a target capital structure of 45% debt, 4% preferred stock, and 51% common equity. Kuhn has noncallable bonds outstanding that mature in five years with a face value of $1,000, an annual coupon rate of 10%, and a market price of $1,050.76. The yield on the company's current bonds is a good approximation of the yield on any new bonds that it issues. The company can sell shares of preferred stock that pay an annual dividend of $8 at price of $95.70 per share. Kuhn does not have any retained earnings available to finance this project, so the firm will have to issue new common stock to help fund it. Its common stock is currently selling for $22.35 per share, and it is expected to pay a dividend of $2.78 at the end of next year. Flotation costs will represent 3% of the funds raised by issuing new common stock. The company is projected to grow at a constant rate of 8.7%, and they face a tax rate of 25%. What will be the WACC for this project? (Note: Round your intermediate calculations to two decimal places.) 2. Internal rate of return (IRR) The internal rate of return (IRR) refers to the compound annual rate of return that a project generates based on its up-front cost and subsequent cash flows. Consider the case of Blue Llama Mining Company: Blue Llama Mining Company is evaluating a proposed capital budgeting project (project Sigma) that will require an initial investment of $800,000. Blue Llama Mining Company has been basing capital budgeting decisions on a project's NPV; however, its new CFO wants to start using the IRR method for capital budgeting decisions. The CFO says that the IRR is a better method because returns in percentage form are easier to understand and compare to required returns. Blue Llama Mining Company's WACC is 7%, and project Sigma has the same risk as the firm's average project. The project is expected to generate the following net cash flows: Year Cash Flow Year 1 $375,000 Year 2 Year 3 $500,000 $425,000 $500,000 Year 4 Which of the following is the correct calculation of project Sigma's IRR? O 34.54% O 40.64% O 44.70% O 36.58% If this is an independent project, the IRR method states that the firm should If the project's cost of capital were to increase, how would that affect the IRR? The IRR would not change. O The IRR would decrease. O The IRR would increase
