Hamilos Worldwide is considering a 85 million expansion of their existing business. The initial expense will be depreciated straight-line over years to zero salvage value; the pretax salvage value in year 5 will be $500,000. The project will generate pre-tax gross earnings of $1,500,000 per year, and not change the risk level of the firm. Hamilos can obtain a 5-year 12.5% loan to partially finance the project. If undertaken, this project should maintain a target D/E ratio of 1.50. If the project were financed with all equity, the cost of capital would be 15%.
