Question 1. What is Plato's Inc.'s weighted average cost of capital (WACC) given the following information? Dollar amounts are in millions. There are two debt components and YTM (yield to maturity) for these two components are: 4% for notes due in May 2015, and 6% for notes due in January 2020. The risk-free rate is 3%, and market risk premium is 8%. The company has a beta of 1.5. The firm's tax rate is 35%.

Question 2. Calculate the traditional payback period, IRR, NPV, and PVI (present value index) for the project with the following cash flows. The opportunity cost of capital for the project is 14%.

Cash

Year Flows

0 -1,500,000
1 400,000
2 600,000
3 550,000
4 450,000
5 200,000

Question 3. Calculate the relevant cash flows (for each year) for the following capital budgeting proposal. Enter the total net cash flows for each year in the answer sheet.

$90,000 initial cost for machinery;
depreciated straight-line over 4 years to a book value of $10,000;
35% marginal tax rate;
$55,000 additional annual revenues;
$25,000 additional annual cash expense;
annual expense for debt financing is $7,500.
$3,500 previously spent for engineering study;
The project requires inventory increase by $32,000 and accounts payable increase by $14,000 at the beginning of the project;
The investment in working capital occurs one time at the beginning of the project and it requires working capital return to the original level when the project ends in 4 years
11% cost of capital;
life of the project is 4 years; and
The new equipment will be sold at the end of 4 years; expected market value of the new equipment at the end of 4 years is $15,000;

Question 4. You are analyzing a capital budgeting project and, as shown by ???, some numbers are unreadable. You can read the following information:

Cash Flows at the end of:

Year 0 = -$25,000
Year 1 = +$8,000
Year 2 = +$ 6,000
Year 3 = +$ 2,600
Year 4 = $ ???
Year 5 = +$ 9,500

The Cost of Capital is 13%, the NPV = -$5,650.01 and the IRR = ???%. Your superior, ignoring the important fact that we should reject the project, is demanding to know the Cash Flow in Year 4.

Calculate the cash flow in Year 4.
