Although the three capital budgeting methods are equivalent, they all can have difficulties making computation impossible at times. The most useful methods or tools from a practical standpoint are:

The Webster Corp. is planning construction of a new shipping depot for its single manufacturing plant. The initial cost of the investment is $1 million. Efficiencies from the new depot are expected to reduce costs by $100,000 forever. The corporation has a total value of $60 million and has outstanding debt of $40 million. What is the NPV of the project if the firm has an after tax cost of debt of 6% and a cost equity of 9%?

The FTE approach has been used by the firm to value their capital budgeting projects. The total investment cost at time 0 is $640,000. The company uses the FTE approach because they maintain a target debt to value ratio over project lives. The company has a debt to equity ratio of .5. The present value of the project including debt financing is $810,994. What is the relevant initial investment cost to use in determining the value of the project?

The Felix Filter Corp. maintains a debt-equity ratio of .6. The cost of equity for Richardson Corp. is 16%, the cost of debt is 11% and the marginal tax rate is 30%. What is the weighted average cost of capital? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)

A firm has a total value of $500,000 and debt valued at $300,000. What is the weighted average cost of capital if the after tax cost of debt is 9% and the cost of equity is 14%?

The term B x r_b gives:

The flow-to-equity approach to capital budgeting is a three step process of:
