Summer 2020 The Wilson Company has an opportunity to invest in one of two new projects. They are mutually exclusive. Project A requires a $300,000 investment for the new machinery with a 5-year life and no salvage value. Project B requires a $45,000 investment with a $5,000 salvage value -- also with a 5-year life. The two projects yield the following predicted annual future results. The company uses straight-line depreciation, and cash flows occur evenly throughout the year. Wilson Company has the following Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) information: Capital Structure Capital % Pre-Tax Cost of Capital Applicable Tax Rate After-Tax Cost of Capital Weighted Ave. Cost of Capital Description Debt Stock Total $100,000 200,000 $300,000 13.00% 17.96% These projects are judged to have a "normal" amount of risk, and for such projects, the company uses the WACC as the discount rate. The applicable tax rate is 30%. The pre-tax cost of capital for debt is 13.00%, and the pre-tax cost of equity is 17.96%. Round the WACC to one decimal point.s (i.e., 10.0%).
