Question: Use your company's expected return as the cost of equity capital (that is the required expected return on the stock in the market from c.1) as the required return (or discount rate) to evaluate the following capital budgeting proposal for your company:

A proposal to spend $2.1 billion to construct production operations in an existing empty building (owned by your company along with the land) is being contemplated to produce a new product (the existing building has been depreciated to a value of $0, but the land has a current book value of $35 million; the land together with the existing empty building could be sold for $35 million today). The $2.1 billion factory investment is expected to last 25 years (but can be completely depreciated immediately for tax purposes), and it along with the land is expected to be sold for $200 million at the end of the 25-year useful life. The factory is expected to produce 110,000+U units per year that are forecast to be sold for a price of $29,900 each. Variable costs (production labor, raw materials, marketing, distribution, etc.) are predicted to be $26,300 per unit. Fixed costs (administration, maintenance, repairs, utilities, insurance, real estate taxes, etc.) are expected to be $76+U million per year. The tax rate is 21%. The project will require $89 million in inventory (raw materials and finished products) as well as $62+U million in receivables (credit for customers). An extra $10+U million in cash (i.e., precautionary bank deposits and short-term marketable securities held as liquidity reserves) is required as a safety stock to provide financial flexibility (that enables avoiding running out of cash in case of temporary declines in operating cash flows). Suppliers (companies which sell the parts and raw materials that are used in the production of the 110,000+U units produced by the factory) are expected to provide short-term trade credit that is expected to sum to $98 million in accounts payable while short-term accrual financing of $46 million is supplied by the employees (who don't get paid until the end of the month)
