Explanation / Answer

Hi,

Please find the detailed answer as follows;

Cost of Capital = Risk Free Rate + Beta*(Market Return - Risk Free Rate) = 6 + 1.6*(14 - 6) = 18.80%

NPV = -120000000 + 17000000/(1+18.80%)^1 + 17000000/(1+18.80%)^2 + 17000000/(1+18.80%)^3 + 17000000/(1+18.80%)^4 + 17000000/(1+18.80%)^5 + 17000000/(1+18.80%)^6 + 17000000/(1+18.80%)^7 + 17000000/(1+18.80%)^8 + 17000000/(1+18.80%)^9 + 17000000/(1+18.80%)^10 = -$45722762.75

Answer is -$45722762.75

Thanks.
