MVP, Inc., has produced rodeo supplies for over 20 years. The company currently has a debt-to-equity ratio of 50% and is in the 40% tax bracket. The required return on the firm's levered equity is 16%. MVP is planning to expand its production capacity. The equipment to be purchased is expected to generate unlevered cash flows according to the following schedule:

year 0 cash flow-$21,000,000
year2 cash flow $6,900,000
year3 cash flow $11,000,000
year4 cash flow $9,500,000

MVP has arranged a $7 million debt issue to partially finance the expansion. Under the loan, the company would pay interest of 9% at the end of each year on the outstanding balance at the beginning of the year. The firm would also make year-end principal payments of $2,333,333 million per year, completely retiring the issue by the end of the third year. Using the Adjusted Present Value (APV) method, determine whether or not MVP should proceed with the expansion?
