You are a consultant to a large manufacturing corporation that is considering a project with the following net after-tax cash flows (in millions of dollars):
Years from Now | After-Tax Cash Flow |

1–10 | 14 |
The project's beta is 1.9.
a. Assuming that rf = 6% and E(rM) = 12%, what is the net present value of the project? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer in millions rounded to 2 decimal places.)
b. What is the highest possible beta estimate for the project before its NPV becomes negative? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
