Answer: 43,618

Danny is considering investing in two independent projects. For our purposes, we will use project V and project M.

Project V expected to cost $43,618

Project M expected to cost $48,918.

Each project's expected cash flows are presented below.

Both have similar risks and the weighted average cost of capital is 6.88%

Calculate the net present value of both projects, and determine how much does Danny need in its current capital budget to entirely benefit from these investment opportunities, I.e to maximize the firm value (please use the amount to the nearest penny)
