Exam 21: Capital Budgeting and Valuation With Leverage

Use the information for the question(s) below. Suppose that Rose Industries is considering the acquisition of another firm in its industry for $100 million. The acquisition is expected to increase Rose's free cash flow by $5 million the first year, and this contribution is expected to grow at a rate of 3% every year thereafter. Rose currently maintains a debt-to-equity ratio of 1, its marginal tax rate is 40%, its cost of debt r_D is 6%, and its cost of equity r_E is 10%. Rose Industries will maintain a constant debt-equity ratio for the acquisition. -The Free Cash Flow to Equity (FCFE)for the acquisition in year 0 is closest to:

A project's cost of capital depends on its ________.
