Digital Organics (DO) has the opportunity to invest $1.15 million now (t = 0) and expects after-tax returns of $730,000 in t = 1 and $830,000 in t = 2. The project will last for two years only. The appropriate cost of capital is 11% with all-equity financing, the borrowing rate is 7%, and DO will borrow $270,000 against the project. This debt must be repaid in two equal installments of $135,000 each. Assume debt tax shields have a net value of $0.20 per dollar of interest paid. Calculate the project’s APV. (Enter your answer in dollars, not millions of dollars. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest whole number.)
Answer : Calculation of Project's APV :
Adjusted present Value = Present Value of Net Cash Flows + Present value of Interest Tax Shield
Present Value of Net Cash Flow = Present Value of Cash Inflow - Present Value of Cash outflow
Below is the table showing Present Value of Cash Inflow
Year | Cash Flows | PVF @11% | Present Value of Cash Flows |
1 | 730000 | 0.900900901 | 657657.6577 |
2 | 830000 | 0.811622433 | 673646.6196 |
Present Value of Cash Flows | 1,331,304.277 |
Present Value of Net Cash Flow = 1,331,304.277 - 1,150,000
= 181,304.2773
Calculation of Present value of Interest Tax Shield :
Below is the table showing Calculation of Present value of Interest Tax Shield :
Year | Debt Amount | Interest | Interst tax Shield | PVF @11% | Present Value of Interest Tax Shield |
(Debt Amount * 7%) | (Interest * 0.2) | ||||
1 | 270000 | 18900 | 3780 | 0.900900901 | 3405.405405 |
2 | 135000 | 9450 | 1890 | 0.811622433 | 1533.966399 |
Present Value of Interest Tax Shield | 4939.371804 |
Adjusted present Value = Present Value of Net Cash Flows + Present value of Interest Tax Shield
Adjusted present Value = 181,304.2773 + 4939.371804
= 186,244
Note : PVF can be calculated as [1 / (1 + 0.11)^n] put n as 1 and 2
