At the start of year 1 the company has $300,000 available for investment; in year 2 another $100,000 becomes available, at the start of year 3 an additional $200,000 becomes available. Project 1 requires $50,000 at the start of year 1 and another $80,000 at the start of year 2; at the start of year 3, the project yields $20,000. The yield at the start of year 3 and the discounted yields for later years amount to $150,000. The company can borrow at most $50,000 plus 20% of the money invested so far in the various investment projects at an interest rate 12% per year. If the company deposits money at bank, the interest rate is 8%. The company has a bank debt of $10,000, on which it pays 11% interest and which may be repaid at the start of any year. Assume that the company may undertake 100% of each project or take a participation in each project of less than 100%.
a. Formulate the capital budgeting problem by using the horizon model.
b. Find the optimal capital allocations by using a linear programming package.
c. Find the optimal capital budget, assuming that no project can be undertaken partially.
