The common stock of ABX, Inc. has a beta of 0.90. The Treasury bill rate is 4% and the market risk premium is estimated at 8%. The debt-to-equity ratio of the company is 0.35, the cost of debt is 6%, and the tax rate is 21%. The company is considering a project that will result in initial after-tax cash savings of $5 million at the end of the first year, and these savings will grow at a rate of 4% per year indefinitely. The project is less risky than the usual project the firm undertakes. Management uses the subjective approach and applies an adjustment factor of -1% to the overall cost of capital for similar projects. If the project requires an initial investment of $20 million, what is the NPV?
