Hanson, Inc. requires its marketing managers to submit estimated cost-volume-profit data on all requests for new products, or expansions of a product line. Nancy Stephens is a new manager. Her calculations show a fixed cost for a new project at $100,000 and a variable cost of $5. Since the selling price is only $15 for the proposed product, 10,000 units would need to be sold to break-even. That is approximately twice the volume estimate for the first year. She shares her dismay with Patti Patterson, another manager, Patti strongly advises her to revise her estimates. She points out that several of the costs that had been classified as fixed costs could be considered variable since they are step costs and mixed costs. When the data has been revised classifying those costs as variable costs, the project appears viable. a. Who are the stakeholders in this decision?b. Is it ethical for Nancy to revise the costs as indicate? Briefly explain. c. What should Nancy do?

Calculate the cost of each capital component—in other words, the after-tax cost of debt, the cost of preferred stock (including flotation costs), and the cost of equity (ignoring flotation costs). use both the capm method and the dividend growth approach to find the cost of equity. calculate the cost of new stock using the dividend growth approach. what is the cost of new common stock based on the capm? (hint: find the difference between re and rs as determined by the dividend growth approach and then add that difference to the capm value for rs.)assuming that gao will not issue new equity and will continue to use the same target capital structure, what is the company’s wacc? e. suppose gao is evaluating three projects with the following characteristics. each project has a cost of $1 million. they will all be financed using the target mix of long-term debt, preferred stock, and common equity. the cost of the common equity for each project should be based on the beta estimated for the project. all equity will come from reinvested earnings. equity invested in project a would have a beta of 0.5 and an expected return of 9.0%.equity invested in project b would have a beta of 1.0 and an expected return of 10.0%.equity invested in project c would have a beta of 2.0 and an expected return of 11.0%.analyze the company’s situation, and explain why each project should be accepted or rejected g
