Answer:
NPV = $10.708 million
Step-by-step explanation:
The base case NPV is that calculated by discounting the after-tax cash flow by the cost of equity based on asset beta. The base-case NPV does not consider the financing effect of the any particular finance source used to fund the project.
NPV = PV of cash inflow - Initial outlay
After-tax cash flow = 300,000×15= 4.5 million
PV of cash inflow = cash inflow × A × (1- (1+r)^(-n)/r
4.5 ×( 1- (1.16^-5)/0.16= 25.508 million
NPV = PV of cash inflow - Initial outlay
NPV = 25.508 million - 14.8 million
NPV = $10.708 million
