ABC Industries is considering a 3-year project that will cost $200 today followed by free cash flows to firm of $100 in year 1, $80 in year 2, and $160 in year 3. ABC has $1000 of assets with a debt ratio of 40.00%. ABC's before-tax cost of debt is 7.00% and its cost of equity is 12.00%. Suppose ABC pays a fee of$6 to the investment bankers who help them to raise the $120 Debt capital. Assuming the tax rate is 35.00% and that the flotation cost can be amortized (i.e. deducted) for tax purposes over the 3 year life of the project. The NPV of the project using the APV method, taking into account the flotation costs, is closest to:
$8.40
$11.34
$10.66

Moxabl Inc. plans to buy land and build an assembly line for its expansion. The anticipated total
cost of the land and structures is $0.65 million. The founder-owners of the company are reluctant to
borrow money and prefer to set aside savings from profits to cover the cost. Management believes that
the firm can set aside $650,000 a month to accumulate the capital necessary for this investment. The
firm can earn 8 percent compounded monthly on the funds it saves. How long will it take for the firm to
have sufficient capital to invest in this expansion? Assume that the cost of expansion remains constant
over time.
