Airlift is a Pakistani app-based decentralized urban mass transit startup that allows customers to book fixed rate rides on buses and vans in their network. The idea of Airlift was conceived by the founding Chief Executive Usman Gul after he experienced the congestion during his visit to Lahore for vacations which was caused by the inefficiency of local transportation. Due to COVID crisis and other pre-COVID issues, Airlift had been struggling with high cost of capital that inhibited its ability to make any capital investments. Since you have taken FINN 100 at LUMS, Usman Gul has hired you to solve the financial problems faced by Airlift. On the first day at office you realize that capital costs have now started declining. To solve the pre and post COVID issues faced by the company, you recommend a major expansion of services offered by Airlift.

The current price of the firm's 10 percent, PKR 100 par value, quarterly dividend, perpetual preferred stock is PKR 113.10. Airlift would incur flotation costs of PKR 2 per share on a new issue. Airlift's common stock is currently selling at PKR 50 per share. Its last dividend D.) was PKR 4.19, and dividends are expected to grow at a constant rate of 5 percent in the foreseeable future. Airlift's beta is 1.2; the yield on T-Bonds is 7 percent; and the market risk premium is estimated to be 6 percent.
