Photochronograph corporation pc manufactures time series


Photochronograph Corporation (PC) manufactures time series photographic equipment. It is currently at its target debt−equity ratio of .75. It’s considering building a new $54 million manufacturing facility. This new plant is expected to generate aftertax cash flows of $6.6 million in perpetuity. The company raises all equity from outside financing. There are three financing options: 1. A new issue of common stock: The flotation costs of the new common stock would be 8.4 percent of the amount raised. The required return on the company’s new equity is 15 percent. 2. A new issue of 20-year bonds: The flotation costs of the new bonds would be 3 percent of the proceeds. If the company issues these new bonds at an annual coupon rate of 6 percent, they will sell at par. 3. Increased use of accounts payable financing: Because this financing is part of the company’s ongoing daily business, it has no flotation costs, and the company assigns it a cost that is the same as the overall firm WACC. Management has a target ratio of accounts payable to long-term debt of .10. (Assume there is no difference between the pretax and aftertax accounts payable cost.) What is the NPV of the new plant? Assume that PC has a 38 percent tax rate.
