Assignment Help Financial Management

Reference no: EM13919364

Scanlin, Inc., is considering a project that will result in initial aftertax cash savings of $1.73 million at the end of the first year, and these savings will grow at a rate of 3 percent per year indefinitely. The firm has a target debt−equity ratio of .85, a cost of equity of 11.3 percent, and an aftertax cost of debt of 4.1 percent. The cost-saving proposal is somewhat riskier than the usual project the firm undertakes; management uses the subjective approach and applies an adjustment factor of 2 percent to the cost of capital for such risky projects.

What is the maximum initial cost the company would be willing to pay for the project?
