1. The Turnip Company plans to issue preferred stock. Currently, the company’s stock sells for $115. Once new stock is issued, the Turnip Company would receive only $95. The dividend rate is 7.5%, and the par value of the stock is $105. Compute the cost of capital of the stock to your firm. Show all work.

2. The Maximus Corporation is considering a new investment, which would be financed from debt. Maximus could sell new $1,000 par value bonds at a new price of $939. The bonds would mature in 15 years, and the coupon interest rate is 9.5%. Compute the after-tax cost of capital to Maximus for bonds, assuming a 34% tax rate. Show work.

Compute the following for each project:

· NPV (net present value)
· PI (profitability index)
· IRR (internal rate of return)

Based on your analysis, answer the following questions:

· Which is the best choice? Why?
· Which project should be selected and why? If the projects had the same IRR amounts but different NPV totals, then how would you know which project to select? Explain.

· Should we also use the payback method to assist us in project selection? Why or why not? Explain.
