Paper Mall, Inc., is evaluating another proposed project, Project Peter, which lasts 3 years. The project is riskier than the average project for this firm. Because of this, the firm will add two percentage points to the firms weighted average cost of capital to evaluate the project. The firm also assumes a market risk premium of 6% when using the Capital Asset Pricing Model. The firm has a target debt-equity ratio of 0.25 and marginal tax rate of 22%. The firms $1,000 par value bonds currently sell for $1,078.58 and mature in 20 years. They have a coupon rate of 5.1% and make semiannual payments. The firms stock currently sells for $28 per share and has a beta 0f 0.8. According to the Wall Street Journal, the yield on 10-year U.S. Treasuries is about 0.9%. Assume CAPM holds.

The project will require equipment which costs $425,000 plus an additional $75,000 for delivery and installation. Its is estimated to be worth $30,000 at the end of the project and will be depreciated using MACRS in the 3-year asset class (be sure your depreciation rates go out 2 decimals as shown on the formula sheet). In addition, the project will require an immediate, one-time investment of $40,000 in net working capital (inventories and accounts receivable). Annual revenues of the project are expected to be $650,000, with corresponding annual costs of $450,000.
