A. What is the NPV if the opportunity cost of capital is 9%? (Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest whole dollar amount.) Net present value $ b. Halcyon could finance the ship by borrowing the entire investment at an interest rate of 4.5%. Will this borrowing opportunity affect your calculation of NPV?
The NPV of the investment opportunity is - $ 3 Million.
When the capital is entirely replaced by debt, the new cost of capital is 4.5%
So the NPV is -$ 1 Million.
