Explanation / Answer

3) Unlevered cash flow = 400000*(1-70%)*(1-40%) = $          72,000 4) NPV = 72000/17%-450000 = $         -26,471 78) NPV of the financing side effects is the PV of the tax shield on interest on debt discounted at the after tax cost of debt: Annual tax shield on interest = 144385*9%*40% = $       5,197.86 After tax cost of debt = 9*(1-40%) = 5.40% PV of the perpetual tax shield = 5197.86/9%= $          57,754 79) APV = Unlevered NPV+NPV of financing side effects =    -26471+57754 = $          31,283
