These shares will offer a dividend of $4 per share in year 1, which is expected to grow at a rate of 9% per year for an indefinite tenure. Remaining funds are borrowed by issuing 5-year, 9% semi-annual bonds, each bond having a face value of $1,000. These bonds now have a market value of $1,150 each.

The project is expected to increase revenues of the firm by $120 million per year. Expenses, other than depreciation, interest and tax, will amount to $80 million per year.
