Step-by-step solution

2 steps

To determine the amount of capital the company would require, we need to identify which projects should be undertaken. A company should accept projects whose Internal Rate of Return (IRR) is greater than its Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC).

  1. Identify projects with an IRR greater than the WACC.

    The company's WACC is 14%14\%.

    • Project A: IRR = 18%18\%. Since 18%>14%18\% > 14\%, Project A should be accepted.
    • Project B: IRR = 16%16\%. Since 16%>14%16\% > 14\%, Project B should be accepted.
    • Project C: IRR = 15%15\%. Since 15%>14%15\% > 14\%, Project C should be accepted.
    • Project D: IRR = 11%11\%. Since 11%<14%11\% < 14\%, Project D should be rejected.
  2. Calculate the total capital required for the accepted projects.

    The capital required is the sum of the costs of the accepted projects.

    • Cost of Project A = R20 million
    • Cost of Project B = R15 million
    • Cost of Project C = R21 million

    Total capital required = Cost of Project A + Cost of Project B + Cost of Project C

    Total capital required=R20 million+R15 million+R21 million\text{Total capital required} = \text{R}20 \text{ million} + \text{R}15 \text{ million} + \text{R}21 \text{ million} Total capital required=R56 million\text{Total capital required} = \text{R}56 \text{ million}

    The amount of capital the company would require in the coming year is R56 million.

    The final answer is c. R56 million\text{c. R56 million}.
