A project is expected to produce a cash flow of 2,250,000 in one year, and the cash flows are expected to grow at 2% rate per year perpetually. To finance the project, the firm issues a debt of $10 million and sells another $10 million worth of equity. Debt is issued with associated flotation costs of $20,000, while the equity has flotation cost of $40,000. The Debt has 10% interest and 5 years to maturity, with principal repaid in a lump sum at the end of the fifth year. The equity has a required return of 12%. Both flotation costs can be amoritized over a 5 year period.
