Landman Corporation (LC) manufactures time series photographic equipment. It is currently at its target debt-equity ratio of .78. It’s considering building a new $66.8 million manufacturing facility. This new plant is expected to generate aftertax cash flows of $7.93 million in perpetuity. There are three financing options: A new issue of common stock: The required return on the company’s new equity is 15.2 percent. A new issue of 20-year bonds: If the company issues these new bonds at an annual coupon rate of 7.1 percent, they will sell at par. Increased use of accounts payable financing: Because this financing is part of the company’s ongoing daily business, the company assigns it a cost that is the same as the overall firm WACC.

If the tax rate is 23 percent, what is the NPV of the new plant? Note: A negative answer should…
