Problem:
Digital Organics (DO) has the opportunity to invest $0.98 million now (t = 0) and expects after-tax returns of $580,000 in t = 1 and $680,000 in t = 2. The project will last for two years only. The appropriate cost of capital is 14% with all-equity financing, the borrowing rate is 10%, and DO will borrow $280,000 against the project. This debt must be repaid in two equal installments. Assume debt tax shields have a net value of $0.25 per dollar of interest paid.
Required:
Question 1: Calculate the project's APV. Explain in detail and show all work.
