NOTE: It is critical that you do not round intermediate calculations. For example, while you may provide the after-tax cost of debt rounded to two decimal places, DO NOT calculate the WACC using rounded numbers. DO NOT calculate the NPV using a WACC that was rounded to two decimal places. These will give you incorrect answers. Provide each answer as requested, but DO NOT round intermediate calculations.
