Explanation / Answer

Calculation of cost of capital:

Cost of equity (Ke) Using CAPM method = Rf + B(Rm-Rf)

=3.5% + 1.5(10%-3.5%)

= 3.5% +9.75% = 13.25%

Cost of debt after tax = (kd) = 7% (1-0.3) = 4.9%

cost of preference = (Kp) = 8%

The owner is investing 1 milllion from his savings account that implies it is also equity (ke) = 13.25%

total investment required is 4.6 million.out of which 2.6 million will be financed through equity ,1 million through preference stock and 1 million through debt.

Cost of capital = 2.6/4.6*13.25% +1/4.6*4.9% +1/4.6*8%

=7.49 + 1.07 + 1.74 = 10.3%

The return on 4.6 million @ 10.3% = 473800

Add:opportunity cost @ 3% on $ 1 million = 30000

Total required return on 4.6 million = 503800

The MARR = (503800/4600000)*100 = 10.9521%

8)The expected value of MARR = 10%*0.3 +12%*0.3 +15%*0.4 =3% + 3.6% + 6% = 12.6%

Calculation of NPV

Initial investment = $200,000 ;Npv = 195350.8 - 200000 = -4649.2 dolllars

The company should not engage in this project as it has negative NPV
