Problem 11A: Optimal Capital Budget: The management of Flannigan Phosphate Industries (FPI) is planning next year's capital budget. FPI projects its net income at $7,500, and its payout ratio is 40 percent. Depreciation is forecasted at $3,000. The company's earnings and dividends are growing at constant rate of 5 percent; the last Dividend, D0, was $0.90; and the current stock price is $8.59. FPI's new debt will cost 14 percent. If FPI issues new common stock, flotation casts will be 20 percent. FPI is at its optimal capital structure, which is 40 percent debt to 60 percent equity, and the firm's marginal tax rate is 40 percent. FPI has the following independent, indivisible, and equally risky investment opportunities:

A

$15,000 17%

B

D

$12, 000 15%

What is FPI's optimal capital budget?

We need to calculate WACC1?

Need to provide a graph of WACC1 and WACC2
