Billboard, Inc. is considering a new project costing $400 million. The project cost can be depreciated on a straight-line over 20 years. Part of the cost of the project will be nanced with a new bond issue. In order to nance a portion of new project, Billboard has sold for $93:54 million a twenty year, zero coupon bond with face value of $300 million. The issuance of debt will carry a one time cost at year 0 of $12:9 million. The issuance cost can not be depreciated or used to oset taxes. The project generates EBIT with an expected value of $40 million for each of the next twenty years, commencing one year after the start of the project. CFO believes that the debt obligation will be fullled with probability ONE, im- plying that the interest expense deductions associated with the tax-shield on the new debt have a zero covariance with the return on the market. The cash ows of the project do vary with the market, with the implied unlevered asset beta equal to 1:5. The expected return on the market is 12% and the risk-free rate is 6%. The CFO believes that the government is likely to push for an increase in the corporate income tax rate from 16% up to 28%, and ascribes a 75% chance that government will succeed in getting to pass the tax increase proposal. The CFO assumes that this event has zero covariance with the market portfolios return and has no eect on the projects unlevered asset beta. He asks you to evaluate the project using APV. Billboard, Inc. must make its accept/reject decision on BEFORE outcome of the government tax debate is known.

(c) What is the discounted value (PV) of the after-tax Unlevered Cash Flow stream? (d) Compute an amortization table for the bond. (e) What is the value of the Debt Tax Shield associated with this project? (f) What is the project's APV? Should Billboard, Inc. invest into project?
