If EPC were to use a single corporate wide WACC for determining it's investment strategies it would cause a reduction in shareholder value and would lead to missed opportunities. Also, it would cause the team to be more focused on short team projects as opposed to both short and long term projects. This would, in the long run, be detrimental to the company.

Plz complete using excel showing formula of work !!
The common stock of ABX, Inc. has a beta of 0.90. The Treasury bill rate is 4% and the market risk premium is estimated at 8%. The debt-to-equity ratio of the company is 0.35, the cost of debt is 6%, and the tax rate is 21%. The company is considering a project that will result in initial after-tax cash savings of $5 million at the end of the first year, and these savings will grow at a rate of 4% per year indefinitely. The project is less risky than the usual project the firm undertakes. Management uses the subjective approach and applies an adjustment factor of -1% to the overall cost of capital for similar projects. If the project requires an initial investment of $20 million, what is the NPV?
