Under the capital budgeting techniques, the net present value method is of core
significance and hence, the same has been applied for this project as well. The above table
explains, the initial investment made by Mason and his friend on the cumulative project shall be
accepted as the net present value is positive at $786000 and it will be feasible choice for future
growth and hence the project shall be accepted (Iqbal, 2016).

Market price $ 1,383.78
(C8+((1-(1+C4)^-C7)/C4)+(C6/(1+C4)^C7))
Hence, the market value of the bond is $1383.78 at present
Part B

Years of maturity 5

Market price $ 334.28
(C8+((1-(1+C4)^-C7)/C4)+(C6/(1+C4)^C7))
At the end of the year the market price is $334.28. Strong capacity to meet financial
obligations, but somewhat susceptible to adverse economic conditions and changes in
circumstances when the bond is rated as A credit rating and on the other hand if the bond will
fell down to ‘BBB’ grade, in that scenario, the price of the bond at the end of the year will be
$334.28. This also reflects the company might have adequate capacity but it is subjective to
adverse economic conditions (Binici & Hutchison, 2018).

P/E RATIO 10.5
Part C
If the management changes the strategy, the payout ratio will be reduced to 20% from
35% and this indicates that the growth strategy will also reduce to 7% from 12%. This clearly
implies that shareholders will have to bear enough losses and this will not at all maximize the
shareholder value, instead will reduce it. The dividend payout ratio which determines how much
value will be returned to the respective shareholders if fells down, it has a negative image on
mindset of shareholders and hence, this is not at all good strategy for MC, Company (Fitri,
Hosen & Muhari, 2016).
