Question

Panelli's is analyzing a project with an initial cost of $110,000 and cash inflows of $65,000 in year one and $74,000 in year two. This project is an extension of the firm's current operations and thus is equally as risky as the current firm.

The aftertax cost of debt is 4.8 percent, the cost of equity is 12.7 percent, and the tax rate is 35 percent. What is the projected net present value of this project?

a) $7,809
b) $9,840
c) $8,333
