a) Heer Enterprises needs someone to supply it with 150,000 cartons of machine screws per year to
support its manufacturing needs over the next five years, and you've decided to bid on the contract. lt
rvill cost you $840,000 to install the equipment necessary to start production; you'll depreciate this cost
straight-line to zero over the project's life. You estimate that in five years, this equipment can be
salvaged for 560,000. Your fixed production costs will be 5290,000 per year, and your variable
production costs should be SA.SO per carton. You also need an initial investment in net working capital
of 565,000. lf your tax rate is 36 percent and you require a 13 percent return on your investment, what
bid price should you submit?
b) Eads lndustries is considering'the purchase of a new machine for the production of latex. Machine A
costs S2,600,000 andwill [ast for six years. Variable costs are 35 percent of sales, and fixed costs are
5160,000 per year. Machine B costs 54,900,000 and will last for nine years. Variable costs for this
machine arej0 percent of sales and fixed costs are S100,000 per year. The sales for each machine will
be 59 million per year. The required return is 10 percent, and the tax rate is 34 percent. Both machines
rvill be depreciated on a straight-line basis. lf the company plans to replace the machine when it wears
out on a perpetual basis, which machine should you choose?

a) For what purposes is the cost of capital used? Why should a company face a marginal cost of capital
Schedule instead of a single weighted average cost of capital?
b) Edna Recording Studios, lnc., reported earnings available to common stock of 54,200,000 last year. From
that, the company paid a Dividend of St.Z0 on each of its 1,000,000 common shares outstanding, The
capital structure of the company includes40/o debt,10% preferred stock, and 50%
conimon stock. lt is taxed at a rate of 40%.

a D;fferentiate between real options and managerialoptions. A project costs Tk. 200 and has a future cash
flov, ofTk.44peryearforever. lf youwaitoneyear,theprojectwill costfk.24O becauseof inflation,but
the cash flows will be Tk.48 per year forever. lf these are only two options, and the relevant discount
rate is 12 percent, what should you do? What is the value of the option to wait?
b) We are examining a new project. We expect to sell 7,000 units per year at Tk. 65 net cash flow apiece for
the next 10 years. ln other words, the annual operating cash flow is projected to be Tk. 455,000. The
relevant discount rate is 16 percent, and the initial investment required is Tk, 1,800,000,
i. After the first year, the project can be dismantled and sold for Tk. 1,400,000. lf expected sales
are revised based on the first year's performance, when would it make sense to abandon the
investment? In other words, at what level of expected sales would it make sense to abandon
the project?
ii. Explain horv the Tk. 1,400,000 abandonment value can be viewed as the opportunity cost of
keeping the project in one year.
iii. Suppose you think that it is likely that expected sales will be revised upward to 9,000 units if the
first year is a success and revised downward to 4,000 units if the first year is not a success. lf
success and failure are equally Iikely, what is the NPV of the project? Consider the possibility of
abandonment in answering. What is the value of the option to abandon?
