Beta = 0.84
Risk-free rate = 3.7%
Market risk premium = 4.9%
Cost of capital = Risk-free rate + [beta * Market risk premium]
Cost of capital = 3.7% + [0.84 * 4.9%]
Cost of capital = 7.8 %

Your firm is planning to invest in an automated packaging plant. Harburtin Industries is an all-equity firm that specializes in this business. Suppose Harburtin’s equity beta is 0.85, the risk-free rate is 4%, and the market risk premium is 5%. If your firm’s project is all equity financed, estimate its cost of capital. Consider the setting of Problem 9. You decided to look for other comparables to reduce estimation error in your cost of capital estimate. You find a second...
Quantitative Problem: Barton Industries estimates its cost of common equity by using three approaches: the CAPM, the bond-yield-plus-risk-premium approach, and the DCF model. Barton expects next year's annual dividend, D1, to be $1.90 and it expects dividends to grow at a constant rate g = 3.6%. The firm's current common stock price, P0, is $25.00. The current risk-free rate, rRF, = 4.9%; the market risk premium, RPM, = 6.5%, and the firm's stock has a current beta, b, = 1.35....
Your firm is considering building a $594 million plant to manufacture HDTV circuitry. You expect operating profits (EBITDA) of $140 million per year for the next ten years. The plant will be depreciated on a straight-line basis over ten years (assuming no salvage value for tax purposes). After ten years, the plant will have a salvage value of $291 million (which, since it will be fully depreciated, is then taxable). The project requires $50 million in working capital at the...
