WACC National Electric Company (NEC) is considering a $45 million project in its power systems division. Tom Edison, the company’s chief financial officer, has evaluated the project and determined that the project’s unlevered cash flows will be $3.1 million per year in perpetuity. Mr. Edison has devised two possibilities for raising the initial investment: Issuing 10-year bonds or issuing common stock. NEC’s pretax cost of debt is 6.9 percent, and its cost of equity is 10.8 percent. The company’s target debt-to-value ratio is 80 percent.
