- The Pinkerton Publishing Company is considering two mutually exclusive expansion plans. Plan A calls for the expenditure of 50 million on a large-scale, integrated plant that will provide an expected cash flow stream of 8 million per year for 20 years. Plan B calls for the expenditure of 15 million to build a somewhat less efficient, more labor-intensive plant that has an expected cash flow stream of 3.4 million per year for 20 years. The firms cost of capital is 10%. a. Calculate each projects NPV and IRR. b. Set up a Project by showing the cash flows that will exist if the firm goes with the large plant rather than the smaller plant. What are the NPV and the IRR for this Project ? c.

The investment will be financed with 5700,000 of debt and $1,200,000 of equity. The (unleveraged) after-lax cash flows, the CATs, expected to result from the investment are $1 million per year for three years, after which time the project is expected to be sold off for a net after-tax $1 million in cash. The debt financing will take the form of three-year debt with interest payments of 12% per year on the remaining balance. Principal payments will be $100,000 in year 1, $200,000 in year 2, and $400,000 at the end of year 3. The net-benefit-to-leverage factor, T^, is 0.25 for this investment.
