(I check for plagiarism) Check the work on the attached assignment and write an executive summary outlining both the project choice and why. It must follow the proper essay format of intro-body-conclusion. It must be written from a leadership perspective, and should speak the the ethics involved in making the decision and the impact on shareholders. 1-2 pages double spaced.Below are the original assignment instructions. I’m attaching all necessary documentation as well.Capital Budgeting Case – From the given case information, calculate the firm’s WACC then use the WACC to calculate NPV and evaluate IRR for proposed capital budgeting projects with a capital rationing constraint. After you choose the project(s), recalculate the capital structure based on the assumption that the project(s) are implemented and determine if the new capital structure will signal the investors either positively, negatively, or not at all. Write a business report on your findings. Include an executive summary and appendices if applicable. See rubric for specific graded criteria.

Weighted Cost of capital debt and equity = cost of common equity + cost of long term debt +
cost of preferred stock
= (0.25 *7%) + (19%*0.25) + (20% *0.50)
= 1.75% + 4.75% + 1%
= 7.5%
This weighted average cost then becomes the minimum interest rate that can be used for project
evaluation. Therefore, we use this to calculate the NPV, IRR, & payback period.
NPVA = (25,000/(1 + 0.075)^1 + 35,000/(1 + 0.075)^2 + 45,000/(1 + 0.075)^3 + 50,000/(1 +
0.075)^4 + 55000/(1 + 0.075)^5) less initial outlay
= (23255.8 + 30,286.6 + 36223.2 + 37440.0 + 38310.7) – 130,000
= 165,517 – 130,000
= 35,517
NPVB = (40,000/(1 + 0.075)^1 + 35,000/(1 + 0.075)^2 + 30,000/(1 + 0.075)^3 + 10,000/(1 +
0.075)^4 + 5000/(1 + 0.075)^5) less initial outlay
= (37209.3 + 30,286.6 + 24148.8 + 7,488 + 3482.8) – 85,000
= 72328.9 – 85,000
= – 12671.1
From the above findings, the project viable for investment is project A, since it has a positive
NPV. All projects with a negative NPV indicate that the cost for the stock will decline and
therefore should not be implemented.
IRR
Is the rate at which the sum net present values of all cash flows is equal to zero
0 = – C0 + C1(1 + IRR)1 + C2(1 + IRR)2 + C2(1 + IRR)3 + C3(1 + IRR)4 + C4(1 + IRR)5
Where Co – – – C4 represent the cash flows for the consecutive years
The IRR calculation will use the net present value of each year’s cash flow.
Let IRR be n
Project A
0
= – 130,000 + 23255.8(1 + n)1 + 30286.6(1 + n)2 + 36223.2(1 + n)3 + 37440(1 + n)4 +
38310.7(1 + n)5
= 7.57%
Project B
0
= – 85000 + 37209.3(1 + n)1 + 30286.6(1 + n)2 + 24148.8(1 + n)3 + 7488(1 + n)4 +
3482.8(1 + n)5
= 10.0075%
Using the IRR as the mode of analysis, the company should invest in project B since the internal
rate of return is higher than that of project A, and the minimum rate acceptable for investment.
Project B has a payback period of only 3 years, while project A has 5-year payback period.
However, it is not enough to use this method since there is a great difference in the initial cash
outlays for each project.
NEW WACC
= (7% * 0.2) + (19% * 0.2) + (20% 0.6)
= 1.4% + 3.8% + 1.2%
= 6.4%
The new WACC indicates that the market value of the debt and the stock price has a great impact
on the cost of capital invested in the projects. Changing the attention to the retained earnings and
contribution of the stakeholders to investment would actually make the cost of capital cheaper
and better returns consequently.
