The firm has a target debt-equity ratio of .80, a cost of equity of 12.9 percent, and an after-tax cost of debt of 5.7 percent. The cost-saving proposal is somewhat riskier than the usual project the firm undertakes; management uses the subjective approach and applies an adjustment factor of 1 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?arrow_forward
