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 $4.1 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. The land was appraised last week for $6.9 million on an aftertax basis. In five years, the aftertax value of the land will be $7.6 million, but the company expects to keep the land for a future project. The company wants to build its new manufacturing plant on this land; the plant and equipment will cost $27.8 million to build. The following market data on DEl's securities are current: Debt: Common stock: Preferred stock: Market: 160,000 bonds with a coupon rate of 7.2 percent outstanding, 25 years to maturity, selling for 107 percent of par; the bonds have a $2.000 par value each and make semiannual payments. 10,700,000 shares outstanding, selling for $76.70 per share: the beta is 1.2 . 525,000 shares of 5 percent preferred stock outstanding. selling for $86.00 per share.

The new RDS project is somewhat ilskier than a typical project for DEl. primaily because the plant ts being located ovesseas. Management has told you to ine an. adjustment factor of +2.5 percent to account for this increased inkiness. Calculate itin. appropriate discount rate to use when cvaluating Ders project.
