Growth Enterprises believes its latest project, which will cost $80,000 to install, will generate a perpetual
growing stream of cash flows. Cash flow at the end of this year will be $5,000 and cash flows in future
years are expected to grow indefinitely at an annual rate of 5 percent.

a. If the discount rate for this project is 10 percent, what is the project NPV?

b. What is the project IRR?

Find the WACC of William Tell Computers. The total book value of the firm's equity is $10 million; book value
per share is $20. The stock sells for a price of $30 per share, and the cost of equity is 15 percent. The firm's
bonds have a par value of $5 million and sell at a price of 110 percent of par. The yield to maturity on the bonds
is 9 percent, and the firm's tax rate is 40 percent.

Examine the following book-value balance sheet for University Products, Inc. What is the capital structure of
the firm based on market value? The preferred stock currently sells for $15 per share and the common stock for
$20 per share. There are one million common shares outstanding.

Expenses are expected to be 40 percent of revenues, and working capital required in each year is expected
