Startup, Inc. is a newly created company whose only asset is $900,000 in cash and whose only liability is 20,000 shares of common stock, with a current price of $45. The firm is considering an investment opportunity that will cost $1,000,000 today and will produce an expected cash flow of $1,500,000 one year from now. The firm can raise the additional $100,000 needed to finance the project by either issuing 1-year zero coupon bonds with a yield of 11%, or by issuing additional equity. The current yield on a 1-year T-Bill is 10%. Startup finds that projects of similar risk have an average beta of 1.875. The expect return on the market portfolio over the next year will be 18%. Taxes and default costs are negligible.
