National Electric Company (NEC) is considering a $53 million project in its power systems division. Tom Edison, the company’s chief financial officer, has evaluated the project and determined that the project’s unlevered cash flows will be $4.1 million per year in perpetuity. Mr. Edison has devised two possibilities for raising the initial investment: issuing 10-year bonds or issuing common stock. The company’s pretax cost of debt is 5.9 percent and its cost of equity is 10.3 percent. The company’s target debt-to-value ratio is 60 percent. The project has the same risk as the company’s existing businesses and will support the same amount of debt. The tax rate is 21 percent. Should NEC accept the project?
