问题如下:
SebCoe plc, a British firm, is evaluating an investment in a £50 million project that will be financed with 50% debt and 50% equity. Management has already determined that the NPV of this project is £5 million if it uses internally generated equity. However, if the company uses external equity, it will incur flotation costs of 5.8%. Assuming flotation costs are not tax deductible, the NPV using external equity would be:
选项:
A. less than £5 million because we would discount the cash flows using a higher weighted average cost of capital that reflects the flotation costs.
B. £3.55 million because flotation costs reduce NPV by $1.45 million.
C. £5 million because flotation costs have no impact on NPV.
解释:
B is correct. Since the project will be financed with 50% equity, the company will issue £25 million of new stock. The flotation cost of external equity is (0.058 × 25,000,000) = 1,450,000. The NPV of the project using external equity is the NPV using internal equity less the flotation cost. Adjusting the cost of capital to reflect the flotation cost is not a preferred way to account for flotation costs.
老师,能不能详细讲下这道题,用external时为什么可以用internal的50000-14500。感觉概念混淆了
