I don't need questions (see below)
As the director of capital budgeting for Denver Corporation, you are
evaluating two mutually exclusive projects with the following net cash
flows:
Year Project X Project Z
0 -$100,000 -$100,000
1 50,000 10,000
2 40,000 30,000
3 30,000 40,000
4 10,000 60,000
If Denver's required rate of return is 12 percent, which would you choose?
4.The Seattle Corporation has a capital structure of;
Type Percent of Structure Required Return
Debt 30% 8%
Preferred Stock 10% 12%
Common Stock 60% 15%
What is the WACC for Seattle Corporation?
5.The Comfort Company makes lawn chairs. There fixed costs are
$80,000. The chairs cost $45.00 to produce. They sell for $ 55.00.
a. They would like to know how many chairs they need to sell to break-even.
b. They also want to know how many chairs they need to sell to clear $ 5,000.00
c. If they decrease overhead by $ 10,000 how many chairs do they need
to sell to clear $5,000.00
6.You want to issue 500,000 shares of preferred stock that will pay
$10.00 a year in perpetuity. If the market expectation is 10% how much
money would you expect the corporation to get for the public offering?

3. NPV of Project X is $4239.20. NPV of Project Z is -$553.32.
Choose Project X. Formula for the present value of a future sum is P
= F [1/(1+i) ^n]. So, convert each cash flow back to time zero and
then add them together for each project to find the NPV.
4. (30%*8%) + (10%*12%) + (60%*15%) = 12.6%
5.a. They earn $10 per chair. Therefore, to cover their fixed costs,
they must sell 8000 chairs ($80,000/$10).
b. They must sell an additional 500 chairs beyond the breakeven
point, or 13,000 chairs total.
c. They must sell 7000 shares to cover the fixed costs plus an
additional 500 chairs to clear $5,000, or 12,000 chairs total.
6. The value of a perpetuity of one dollar per year is 1/r.
Therefore, the value of each share will be $10/0 .1 or $100. The
total value of the 500,000 shares will be $50 million.
