WACC and NPV
Pink, Inc., is considering a project that will result in initial aftertax cash savings of $1.82 million at the end of the first year, and these savings will grow at a rate of 3 percent per year indefinitely. The firm has a target debt-equity ratio of .85, a cost of equity of 12.2 percent, and an aftertax cost of debt of 5 percent. The cost-saving proposal is somewhat riskier than the usual projects the firm undertakes; management uses the subjective approach and applies an adjustment factor of +2 percent to the cost of capital for such risky projects.
What is the maximum initial cost the company would be willing to pay for the project?

We expect to sell 5,400 units per year at $68 net cash flow apiece for the next 10 years. In other words, the annual operating cash flow is projected to be $68 x 5,400 = $367,200. The relevant discount rate is 18 percent, and the initial investment required is $1,530,000. What is the base-case NPV? (Do not round Intermedlate calculations and round a. your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) After the first year, the project can be dismantled and sold for $1.250,000.
