Accounting

1. You are evaluating a new project that costs $24.6 million over its 12-year life. Depreciation is straight-line to zero over the life of the project and the salvage value is zero. The project is expected to have the following base-case estimates:
Unit sales/year: 100,000
Price/unit: $120
VC/unit: $80
FC/year: $1,375,000
Your firm has no debt and the firms WACC is 13.5% and the corporate tax rate is 30%. If the projects estimates are only accurate to within +/-15%, what is the NPV for the project under the best-case scenario? 2. Your firm is considering taking on a project that will result in OCFs of $150,000 per year, forever. Your firm has a 0.85 debt-to-equity ratio. The yield to maturity on bonds is 5%. Corporate tax rate is 30%. The current stock price is $87. The firm has paid dividends of $2.25, $2.50, and $3.55 over the last 3 years and the most recent dividend payment is $3.75. Use the geometric average growth rate to estimate the cost of equity. Since this project is riskier than usual, management will apply an adjustment factor of +2% to the cost of capital for this project. What is the maximum cost of the project for us to accept?
