Your boss believes the company's power plant is producing too much air pollution on a typical island. Your boss gives you three choices for dealing with this problem because he/she does not want to deal with it:Â
- You can pay a pollution tax (Carbon Offsets) one time of $13,000,000 immediately. Â
- You can close the plant and install a power cable from the mainland to the Island. That will cost you $1,000,000 at the end of this year, $3,000,000 at the end of next year and then $750,000 forever for maintenance. Â
- You can retrofit the plant with scrubbers to reduce the emissions to make the plant green. That will cost $7.5m at the end of this year and $100,000 for 50-years for maintenance. Â
Assume that the cost of generating power on the mainland is approximately the same as the cost of generating power at the Island's plant. Assume, this comes as a surprise to you and you, have not saved any money in reserves, and you need to raise capital. Additional information is that market has a 12 percent market risk premium on the power plant with the risk-free rate being 5 percent with a company tax rate of 35 percent. Â
Current total raised capital at the power plant:Â Â (This will help you calculate the WACC)
- Debt – 7,000 outstanding bonds, at 7.5% coupon and 20 years to maturity. These bonds pay interest semiannually and quoted a price of 108 percent of par. Â
- Common Stock -180,000 shares outstanding, selling for $50 per share: Beta .90. Â
- Preferred Stock – 8,000 shares of 5.5 percent preferred stock outstanding, currently selling for $95.00 per share.Â
