i. IRR:

ii. NPV

(6) Decide whether to accept or reject the project.

Debt: Face value at $1,000;10 years of maturity; 10% semiannual coupons; price $885.30; no addition cost of new debt issuance. Preferred stock: $10 annual dividend per share; price $111.10. Common stock: - Price $42; dividend payout (D0) at $4 per share; steady growth of net profits expected at 5% per year Beta at 1.3; risk-free rate (rf) at 8%; market risk premium at 6% For illiquid (infrequently traded) stocks, 3-5\% bond-yield risk premium is added to the long-term bond yield
