16. Consider a firm with a market value equal 100. The firm is financed with a zero- coupon bond with a face value of 100, maturing at the end of the year. At the end of the year the value of the firm can be either 130 or 80. The firm has 10 invested in one-year T-bills earning 10%. The firm has just discovered a new project. This project requires an investment of 10 and will be worth at the end of the year, either 8 (when the firm is otherwise worth 130) or 16 (when the firm is otherwise worth 80.) If this project is taken, what will happen to the value of the stock?
