Suppose your firm uses the NPV rule in making investment decisions and your after-tax OCF is $900000. Assume same full debt funding at 12%, tax rate is 40%, 20 year period, straight-line depreciation, initial investment of $4200000 and after-tax exit cost of $3400000.
a. What will be the before-tax OCF?
b. If the required before-tax return on the investment is 13%, what is the NPV and do you make the investment?
c. How about if your firm requires a 7.8% after-tax rate of return?
