a. What is the NPV of this project ?

The NPV is $  (Round to the nearest dollar)

b. Suppose that to raise the funds for the initial investment, the project is sold to investors as an all-equity firm. The equity holders will receive the cash flows of the project in one year. How much money can be raised in this way that is, what is the initial market value of the unlevered equity?

The initial market value of the unlevered equity is $ 

c. Suppose the initial $103,475 is instead raised by borrowing at the risk-free interest rate. What are the cash flows of the levered equity, what is its initial value and what is the initial equity according to MM?

The cash flows of the levered equity and its initial values according to MM are:
