National Electric Company (NEC) is considering a $45.04 million project in its power systems division. Tom Edison, the companys chief financial officer, has evaluated the project and determined that the projects unlevered cash flows will be $3.15 million per year in perpetuity. Mr. Edison has devised two possibilities for raising the initial investment: issuing 10-year bonds or issuing common stock. The companys pretax cost of debt is 6.4 percent and its cost of equity is 11.2 percent. The companys target debt-to-value ratio is 75 percent. The project has the same risk as the companys existing businesses and it will support the same amount of debt. The tax rate is 24 percent. a. Calculate the weighted average cost of capital.
