As an alternative proposal means of increasing shareholder value, you have also been asked to evaluate Monsanto’s intent to expand its operations to pesticide production, which is expected to yield a sales increase of $3,950,000. There is no excess capacity, and the increase in fixed asset needs would be equal to 70% of this increase in sales, while cost of sales would run 20% of sales, using a percentage of sales approach. Assume that Monsanto issues dividends at a rate of 1.98% of net sales, and thus the firm’s retention ratio is 98.2%.  Current sales are projected to be $15,239,000. Assume that the proposed project has a risk and weighted average cost of capital similar to that of Monsanto, and a firm beta similar to that of Monsanto.
