Business Finance Question

    Part 1 -Your boss is back with a two partial models. The first partial model you boss needs you to look at is for the stock ofGaoComputing sells for $50 and last years dividend was $2.10. A flotation cost of 10% would be required to issue new common stock.Gaospreferred stock pays a dividend of $3.30 per share andnewpreferred stock could be sold at a price to net the company $30 per share. Security analysts are projecting that the common dividend will grow at a rate of 7% a year. The firm can issue additional long-term debt at an interest rate (or a before-tax cost) of 10% and its marginal tax rate is 35%. The market risk premium is 6% the risk-free rate is 6.5% andGaosbeta is 0.83. In its cost-of-capital calculationsGaouses a target capital structure with 45% debt 5% preferred stock and 50% common equity. Calculate the cost of each capitalcomponentinother words the after-tax cost of debt the cost of preferred stock (including flotation costs) and the cost of equity (ignoring flotation costs). Use both the CAPM method and the dividend growth approach to find the cost of equity. Calculate the cost of new stock using the dividend growth approach. What is the cost of new common stock based on the CAPM? (Hint: Find the difference betweenreandrsas determined by the dividend growth approach and then add that difference to the CAPM value for rs.) Assuming thatGaowill not issue new equity and will continue to use the same target capital structure what is the companys WACC? e. SupposeGaois evaluating three projects with the following characteristics. Each project has a cost of $1 million. They will all be financed using the target mix of long-term debt preferred stock and common equity. The cost of the common equity for each project should be based on the beta estimated for the project. All equity will come from reinvested earnings. Equity invested in Project A would have a beta of 0.5 and an expected return of 9.0%. Equity invested in Project B would have a beta of 1.0 and an expected return of 10.0%. Equity invested in Project C would have a beta of 2.0 and an expected return of 11.0%. Analyze the companys situation and explain why each project should be accepted or rejectedPart 2 -The second model isfora project forGardialFisheries.GardialFisheriesis considering two mutually exclusive investments. The projects expected net cash flows are as follows: Expected Net Cash Flows for the 7yearProject are:Project A $375 300 200 100 600 600 926 and 200Project B $575 190 190 190 190 190 190 and 0 If each projects cost of capital is 12% which project should be selected? If the cost of capital is 18% what project is the proper choice? Construct NPV profiles for Projects A and B. What is each projects IRR? What is the crossover rate and what is its significance? What is each projects MIRR at a cost of capital of 12%? At r 18%? (Hint: Consider Period 7 as the end of Project Bs life.) What is the regular payback period for these two projects? (Hint: Excels PERCENTRANK function may not work correctly for Project A because it hasnonnormalcash flows.) At a cost of capital of 12% what is the discounted payback period for these two projects? What is the profitability index for each project if the cost of capital is 12Please find attached document to be filled out for your boss.
