H plc is a hot air balloon manufacturer whose equity: debt ratio is 5:2. The corporate debt, which is assumed to be risk free, yields 11% before tax. The beta value of the company’s equity is 1.1. The average return on the stock market is 16%. The corporation tax rate is 31%.
The company is considering a waterbed-manufacturing project. S plc is a waterbed- manufacturing company. It has an equity beta of 1.59 and a E:D ratio of 2:1. H plc maintains its existing capital structure after the implementation of the new project.
What would be a suitable cost of capital to apply to the project?

can any please help me what is the meaning of with recouse and without recourse in the factoring problem in simple wards.
February 16, 2012 at 8:55 am #90577If factoring is without recourse (or non-recourse) it means that the company will not have any bad debts – the factor guarantees full payment to the company and it is the factor who suffers any bad debts.
If it is with recourse, then the company does suffer any bad debts and only gets the cash that is actually collected. - AuthorPosts
