Delta Corp bonds have a remaining maturity of 10 years, and they pay interest semiannually. They are selling for $1108 for every $1000 of face value. They carry a fixed coupon rate of 8%. If Delta issues new debt, it will attempt to issue bonds with a maturity of 10 years. Delta faces a marginal tax rate of 30%. Delta Corp has 5% perpetual preferred stock with a par value of $50 per share (the firm pays a fixed dividend of $2.50 per share in perpetuity). Each share of this preferred is currently selling for $32. Delta Corp common stock is currently selling for $54 per share. The company just paid out a per-share dividend of $5.20 for the year ended. Analysts expect the company's common stock dividends per share to grow at 3% for the foreseeable future. Delta Corp management expects to raise any new funds for proposed projects in the following manner: 50% debt (using 10-year fixed coupon bonds), 10% preferred equity (using perpetual preferred stock), and the remainder using common equity. Delta Corp is evaluating a machine for possible purchase. The machine is priced at $400,000. An additional $20,000 will be required for shipping and installation if purchased. Also, the new machine will require an initial investment in net working capital of $30,000. The machine will need to be depreciated on a 6-year schedule, with equal annual amounts taken as depreciation. However, Delta Corp expects to use the machine only for 4 years and then sell it for an expected $230,000. During each of the 4 years that Delta Corp employs the machine, the company's sales revenue is expected to be higher by $125,000. Additional annual operating costs (other than depreciation) are expected to total $20,000.
