A firm is considering a project that will generate perpetual after-tax cash flows of $16,500 per year beginning next year. The project
has the same risk as the firm's overall operations and must be financed externally. Equity flotation costs 14 percent and debt issues
cost 3 percent on an after-tax basis. The firm's D/E ratio is 0.5.
What is the most the firm can pay for the project and still earn its required return?
Note: Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest whole dollar.

Suppose Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company is considering divesting one of its manufacturing plants. The plant is expected to generate free cash flows of 51.54 million per year, growing at a rate of 2.4% per year. Goodyear has an equity cost of capital of 8,7%, a debt cost of capital of 6.7%, a marginal corporate tax rate of 38%, and a debt- equity ratio of 2.6. If the plant has average risk and Goodyear plans to maintain a constant debt equity ratio, what after tax amount must it receive for the plant for the divestiture to be profitable?

- Consider a firm whose only asset is a plot of vacant land, and whose only liability is debt of $15.2 million due in one year. If left vacant, the land will be worth $10.2 million in one year. Alternatively, the firm can develop the land at an up-front cost of $19.6 million. The developed the land will be worth $35.9 million in one year.
