Speedy Delivery Systems can buy a piece of equipment that is anticipated to provide a return of 11 percent and can be financed at 8 percent with debt. Later in the year, the firm turns down an opportunity to buy a new machine that would yield a return of 18 percent but would cost 20 percent to finance through common equity. Assume debt and common equity each represent 50 percent of the firm’s capital structure.

a.

Compute the weighted average cost of capital. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Input your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.)

A brilliant young scientist is killed in a plane crash. It is anticipated that he could have earned $310,000 a year for the next 30 years. The attorney for the plaintiff’s estate argues that the lost income should be discounted back to the present at 4 percent. The lawyer for the defendant’s insurance company argues for a discount rate of 9 percent.

What is the difference between the present value of the settlement at 4 percent and 9 percent? Compute each one separately. Use Appendix D for an approximate answer but calculate your final answer using the formula and financial calculator methods. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)

Airborne Airlines Inc. has a $1,000 par value bond outstanding with 20 years to maturity. The bond carries an annual interest payment of $96 and is currently selling for $960.

A-Rod Manufacturing Company is trying to calculate its cost of capital for use in making a capital budgeting decision. Mr.Jeter, the vice-president of finance, has given you the following information and has asked you to compute the weighted average cost of capital.

The company currently has outstanding a bond with a 9.7 percent coupon rate and another bond with an 7.3 percent rate. The firm has been informed by its investment banker that bonds of equal risk and credit rating are now selling to yield 10.6 percent. The common stock has a price of $51 and an expected dividend (D1) of $1.71 per share. The historical growth pattern (g) for dividends is as follows:

Northwest Utility Company faces increasing needs for capital. Fortunately, it has an Aa3 credit rating. The corporate tax rate is 40 percent. Northwest’s treasurer is trying to determine the corporation’s current weighted average cost of capital in order to assess the profitability of capital budgeting projects.

Historically, the corporation’s earnings and dividends per share have increased about 6.4 percent annually and this should continue in the future. Northwest’s common stock is selling at $73 per share, and the company will pay a $4.60 per share dividend (D1).

The company’s $114 preferred stock has been yielding 10 percent in the current market. Flotation costs for the company have been estimated by its investment banker to be $8.00 for preferred stock.

The company’s optimum capital structure is 60 percent debt, 25 percent preferred stock, and 15 percent common equity in the form of retained earnings. Refer to the following table on bond issues for comparative yields on bonds of equal risk to Northwest.
