Crochetco is considering an investment in a project which would require an initial outlay of $350,000 and produce expected cash flows in years 1-5 of $95,450 per year. you have determined that the current after-tax cost of the firm's capital (required rate of return) for each source of financing is as follows: cost of long-term debt7%cost of preferred stock11%cost of commonstock15%long-term debt currently makes up 25% of the capital structure, preferred stock 15%, and common stock 60%. what is the net present value of this project? a) -$9,306b) $2,149c) $5,983d) $11,568

Ans. A) NPV= -$9306

Explanation:

Hi, the first thing we need to do is to find the after-tax cost of the firm's capital, and since all capital sources are expressed in terms of after-tax percentage, we just multiply each proportion of capital by its costs, I mean

Long term Debt (7%) * 25% +Preffered Stock(11%)*15% + Common Stock(15%)*60%

The answer to this is 12.40%.

Now, we can find the net present value of this project by using the following formula.

Since the expected cash flow takes place 5 times form year 1 to 5, and is equal to $95,450, "n" is equals to 5 and "CashFlow" is equal to $95,450.

Therefore, the NPV of this project is -$9,306, which is answer A)

Best of luck.
