You are a consultant to a firm evaluating an expansion of its current business. The cash-flow forecasts (in millions of dollars) for the project are as follows: Years Cash Flow 0 100 1-10 + 20 On the basis of the behavior of the firm's stock, you believe that the beta of the firm is 1.47. Assuming that the rate of return available on risk-free investments is 5% and that the expected rate of return on the market portfolio is 15%, what is the net present value of the project?
