A firm is considering a project that will generate perpetual after-tax cash flows of $16,000 per year beginning next year. The project has the same risk as the firm's overall operations and must be financed externally. Equity flotation costs 14 percent and debt issues cost 6 percent on an after-tax basis. The firm's D/E ratio is 0.6. What is the most the firm can pay for the project and still earn its required return? Note: Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest whole dollar. Maximum the firm can pay
A firm is considering a project that will generate perpetual after-tax cash flows of $16,500 per year beginning next year. The project has the same risk as the firm's overall operations and must be financed externally. Equity flotation costs 14 percent and debt issues cost 3 percent on an after - tax basis. The firm's D/E ratio is 0.5. What is the most the firm can pay for the project and still earn its required return?
An unlevered firm has a value of $850 million. An otherwise identical but levered firm has $80 million in debt at a 3% interest rate, which is its pre-tax cost of debt. Its unlevered cost of equity is 10%. After Year 1, free cash flows and tax savings are expected to grow at a constant rate of 4%. Assuming the corporate tax rate is 25%, use the compressed adjusted present value model to determine the value of the levered firm. (Hint: The interest expense at Year 1 is based on the current level of debt.) Enter your answer in millions. For example, an answer of $10,550,000 should be entered as 10.55. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to two decimal places.
