J Corp. has no preferred shares outstanding.
What is J Corp.'s WACC? 10.66 %
Question 3:
Refer to Questions 1 and 2. The land for the factory will cost $1,240,000 The factory will cost $7,800,000 to build and construction will take two years with construction costs payable in equal installments at the start of each year. The factory will operate for 20 years; however, at the end of the fifth, tenth, and fifteenth year of operation, refurbishment costs will be $800,000
At the end of its 20 year lifespan, the land can be resold for $1,260,000
There is a 70% probability that the factory's net operating cash flows will be $1,527,421 ; however, there is a 30% chance that net cash flows will only be $1,023,812 . You may assume that net operating cash flows flow at the end of each year.
