Suppose you have been hired as a financial consultant to Defense Electronics, Incorporated $($DEI$),$ a large, publicly traded firm that is the market share leader in radar detection systems $($RDSs$).$ The company is looking at setting up a manufacturing plant overseas to produce a new line of RDSs$.$ This will be a five$-$year project. The company bought some land three years ago for $$7\mathrm{.}2$ million in anticipation of using it as a toxic dump site for waste chemicals, but it built a piping system to safely discard the chemicals instead. If the land were sold today, the net proceeds would be $$7\mathrm{.}7$ million after taxes. In five years, the land will be worth $$8$ million after taxes. The company wants to build its new manufacturing plant on this land; the plant will cost $$15$ million to build. The manufacturing plant has a five$-$year tax life, and DEI uses straight$-$line depreciation to $0.$ At the end of the project $($i$.$e$.,$ the end of Year $5),$ the plant can be scrapped for $$2$ million. The company will incur $$2,500,000$ in annual fixed costs. The plan is to manufacture $14,000$ RDSs per year and sell them at $$11,000$ per machine; the variable production costs are $$8,000$ per RDS$.$ The project requires $$1,000,000$ in initial net working capital investment to get operational $($it will keep the same level of NWC through the life of the project and will be recover at the end$).$ DEI$$s tax rate is $20$ percent.

The following market data on DEI$$s securities are current:

Debt:

Bond$1$: $90,0007\%$ coupon bonds outstanding, $25$ years to maturity, selling for $95$ percent of par.

Bond$2$: $100,0008\%$ co coupon bonds outstanding, $25$ years to maturity, selling for at par.

Both bonds have a $$1,000$ par value each and make semiannual payments.

Common stock: $1,600,000$ shares outstanding, selling for $$95$ per share; the beta is $1\mathrm{.}2.$

Market data: $7\%$ expected market risk premium; $5\%$ risk$-$free rate.

The new RDS project is somewhat riskier than a typical project for DEI, primarily because the plant is being located overseas. Management has told you to use an adjustment factor of $+2$ percent to account for this increased riskiness.
