Excel Online Structured Activity: Residual dividend model

Walsh Company is considering three independent projects, each of which requires a $$4$ million investment. The estimated internal rate of return $($IRR$)$ and cost of capital for these projects are presented below:

Project $H($High risk$)$:

Cost of capital $=17\%$

IRR $=22\%$

Project $M($Medium risk$)$:

Cost of capital $=14\%$

IRR $=13\%$

Project $L($Low risk$)$:

Cost of capital $=8\%$

IRR $=11\%$

Note that the projects' costs of capital vary because the projects have different levels of risk. The company's optimal capital structure calls for $45\%$ debt and $55\%$ common equity, and it expects to have net income of $$14,423,000.$ The data has been collected in the Microsoft Excel Online file below.
