D G 3 Note: WACC (Weighted Average Cost of Capital) is the cost of capital (or discount rate). 4 USE WACC for both financing cost and reinvestment rate to calculate MIRR. $ Webmasters.com has developed a powerful new server that would be used for corporations Internet 6 activities. It would cost $10 million at Year 0 to buy the equipment necessary to manufacture the server. The 7 project would require net working capital at the beginning of each year in an amount equal to 10% of the 8 year's projected sales; for example, NWCO - 10%(Sales). 9 10 The firm believes it could sell 1,000 units per year. The servers would sell for $24,000 per unit, and 11 Webmasters believes that variable costs would amount to $18,000 per unit. After Year 1, the sales price and 12 variable costs will increase at the inflation rate of 3%. The company's nonvariable costs would be $1 million 13 at Year 1 and also would increase at the 3% inflation rate. 14 15 The server project would have a life of 4 years. If the project is undertaken, it must be continued for the 16 entire 4 years. The equipment would be depreciated over a 5 year period, using MACRS rates. The estimated 17 market value of the equipment at the end of the project's 4-year life is $500,000. 18 19 Webmasters' federal-plus-state tax rate is 25%. Its cost of capital is 10% for average risk projects, defined 20 as projects with a coefficient of variation of NPV between 0.8 and 1.2. Low-risk projects are evaluated with a 21 WACC of 8%, and high-risk projects at 13%. Also, the project's returns are expected to be highly correlated 22 with returns on the firm's other assets. 23 24 a.
