Explanation / Answer

You've already have calculated first 3 questions, so I'm answering next 2 questions.

(1) WACC

Total Bonds = 10,000 x $1,000 x (101.5 / 100) = $10,150,000

Total preferred stock = 43,000 x $60 = $2,580,000

Total equity = 300,000 x $40 = $12,000,000

Total capital = $(10,150,000 + 2,580,000 + 12,000,000) = $24,730,000

% of Debt = 10,150,000 / 24,730,000 = 41.04%

% of preferred stock = 2,580,000 / 24,730,000 = 10.43%

% of equity = 12,000,000 / 24,730,000 = 48.52%

WACC = % of debt x cost of debt + % of preferred stock x Cost of preferred stock + % of equity x Cost of equity

= 41.04% x 4.4455% + 10.43% x 12.5% + 48.52% x 10.81%

= 1.83% + 1.30% + 5.25%

= 8.38%

(2) NPV

Since NPV is negative, decision rule is: Reject.

NOTE: First 2 questions are answered.
