Using a spreadsheet, financial calculator, or trial and error to find the root of the equation, we find that:
IRRNX-20 = 20.34%
The IRR criteria implies accepting the NX-20.
c.

The profitability index is the present value of all subsequent cash flows, divided by the initial investment, so the profitability index of each project is:
PINP-30 = ($185,000{[1 – (1/1.15)5 ] / .15 }) / $550,000
PINP-30 = 1.128
PINX-20 = [$100,000 / 1.15 + $110,000 / 1.152 + $121,000 / 1.153 + $133,100 / 1.154

The NPV is:
NPV = –$53,386,912 + ($6,700,000/.1123)
NPV = $6,251,949

23. We can use the debt-equity ratio to calculate the weights of equity and debt. The weight of debt in the capital structure is:
XB = .85 / 1.85 = .4595, or 45.95%
And the weight of equity is:

XS = 1 – .4595 = .5405, or 54.05%
Now we can calculate the weighted average flotation costs for the various percentages of internally raised equity. To find the portion of equity flotation costs, we can multiply the equity costs by the percentage of equity raised externally, which is one minus the percentage raised internally. So, if the company raises all equity externally, the flotation costs are:

fT = (0.5405)(.08)(1 – 0) + (0.4595)(.035) fT = .0593, or 5.93%
The initial cash outflow for the project needs to be adjusted for the flotation costs. To account for the flotation costs:
Amount raised(1 – .0593) = $145,000,000
Amount raised = $145,000,000/(1 – .0593)
Amount raised = $154,144,519
If the company uses 60 percent internally generated equity, the flotation cost is:

fT = (0.5405)(.08)(1 – 0.60) +

    – Do not forget that some “old” long-term debt remains after 1979 and the new owners need to service it even though no cash is received on this debt in 1979. – It is convenient, for valuation purposes, to assume that all debts (old, new, preferred stock) are paid off at the end of 1984 when the LBO group takes the company public again and sells it for its terminal value.1 • Terminal Value. Obtaining an accurate measure of the terminal value is critical in this case. You may start with the following as an approximation: Terminal Value as of 1984 = (1 + g) × (Avg UFCF)1980-1984 , (Discount Rate)post 1984 −…

    Since the Hong Kong option produces a positive NPV of ….. as compared to ……… for New York in 15 years, it would be more preferable for the company to launch the project in its Asian office. The greater DCF value of Hong Kong is a result of a no corporate tax policy and an advantage of proximity to Indian and Australian markets(comparative advantage over New York location). Since NPV for Hong Kong is positive and IRR of….. is higher than the real interest rate of 5.825%, the investment would be recommended. In the calculations we have committed to, a fundamental to our analysis, assumption, of a disposition of 15-year old ship after a 3-year lease and 12 year internal usage. Hence only two capital expenditures for the surveys will be taken into account :$300,000 in 2007 and $350,000 in 2012 together with the expected daily charter rate for 1st year of an investment of $20,000 and daily operating costs of $4000.…

    3 The cost of Equity Capital represents the expected return of equity investors. The WACC is measured by taking the weight of debt outstanding and multiplying it by the cost of debt and the tax shield, then adding to that the weight of equity and multiplying that by the cost of equity, as shown in the following equation: Equation 1: [D/V*(Rd)*(1-T)+E/B*(Rd)] As the WACC holds true, the increased weight in the lower cost of debt along with the additional tax shield and the decrease in weight in the higher cost of equity will result in a decrease in the overall cost of equity to the firm. In theory the more debt you add to the capital structure the lower your WACC will be Cost of Equity: Using the formula given, cost of equity can be calculated as:…
