Financial Statements for Acme Corporation in thousands, except for Per-Share Data) Year Ended 31-Dec 2017 2018 190292 560 600

The target capital structure for Acme is 60% debt and 40% equity. The risk-free rate is 2%. The market risk premium is 5%. The beta of Acme against a relevant stock index is 0.8. The pre-tax cost of debt for Acme is 4%. Assume an effective corporation tax of 17%.

$1,000,000 Data for new project under consideration Investment in new machinery Useful life of the machinery (years) Expected

Sales is expected to increase 15% per year from the new machine project.

Working capital at the beginning of a given year is 20% of sales for that year, allocated at the beginning of the project and recouped at the end of project life.

Depreciation uses straight line method and reduces the machine salvage value to zero over its useful life.

The CFO is confident of this project and expects the company-wide dividends to grow at the same rate as the sales growth of this new project for the next 3 years before reverting to a constant perpetual rate of 4%.

Question 1:

(a) Calculate the cost of equity capital using the CAPM model.

(b) Calculate WACC.

(c) Calculate the initial investment as of 1 January 2019.

(d) Calculate the annual after-tax cash flows (illustrate your calculations for the years ending 2019, 2020, and 2021).

(e) Calculate the terminal cash flow in 2021.

(f) Calculate NPV of the project as of 1 January 2019 considering that it will be financed using the same capital structure as the company.

(g) Recommend whether the project should be undertaken.

Answer #1

a). Cost of equity (using CAPM) = risk-free rate + beta*market risk premium = 2% + (0.8*5%) = 6%

b). WACC = (weight of equity*cost of equity) + (weight of debt*cost of debt*(1-Tax rate))

= (40%*6%) + (60%*4%*(1-17%)) = 4.39%

c). Initial investment = investment in new machinery + investment in working capital = 1,000,000 + (20%*Sales in year 1)

= 1,000,000 + (20%*800,000) = 1,160,000

d). Annual after-tax cash flows (or operating cash flows) are:

Year 1: 233,200

Year 2: 263,080

Year 3: 297,442 (All calculations shown in the table below)

e). Terminal cash flow = after-tax salvage value + recovery of net working capital

= 441,500 + 211,600 = 653,100 (All calculations shown in the table below)

f). NPV = 92,025.63 (All calculations shown in the table below)
