Burke Enterprises is considering a machine costing $30 billion that will result in initial after-tax cash savings of $3.7 billion at the end of the first year, and these savings will grow at a rate of 2 percent per year for 11 years. After 11 years, the company can sell the parts for $5 billion. Burke has a target debt/equity ratio of 1.2, a beta of 1.79. You estimate that the return on the market is 7.5% and T-bills are currently yielding 2.5%. Burke has two issuances of bonds outstanding. The first has 200,000 bonds trading at 98% of par, with coupons of 5%, face of $1000, and maturity of 5 years. The second has 500,000 bonds trading at par, with coupons of 7.5%, face of $1000, and maturity of 12 years. Kate, the CEO, usually applies an adjustment factor to the discount rate of +2 for such highly innovative projects. Should the company take on the project?
Cost of equity = risk free rate + Beta * (market return - risk free rate)
Cost of equity = 2.5% + 1.79 * (7.5% - 2.5%) =
11.45%
Market value of first bond (trading at 98% to par value) = 200,000 *1000 * 98% = $196 million
Second bond is trading at par value = 500,000 * 1000 *100% = $500 million
Coupon on first bond = 5% and coupon on second bond = 7.5%
Cost of total debt = (5% * 196 + 7.5% * 500) / (196 + 500)
Cost of total debt = 6.80%
Debt / Equity = 1.2
% of debt = 1.2 / (1.2 +1) = 54.55%
% of equity = 1 / (1.2 +1 ) = 45.45%
Assuming tax rate of 35%
Weighted average cost of capital = 11.45% * 45.45% + 6.8% * (1-35%) * 54.55%
Weighted average cost of capital = 7.62%
Additional adjustment factor of +2 by the CEO, cost of capital = 7.62% + 2% = 9.62%
Applying the project cash flow NPV is -$1.4 billion, hence project should not be accepted
