Consider a project with free cash flows in one year of $90,000 in a weak economy or $117,000 in a strong economy, equally likely. The initial investment required is $80,000, and the project's cost of capital is 15%. The risk-free interest rate is 5%.

a.What is the NPV for this project?

b.Suppose that to raise the funds for the initial investment the firm borrows $80,000 at the risk-free rate, what is the cash flow that equity holders will receive in one year in a weak economy? What is the cash flow that equity holders will receive in one year in a strong economy?

c.Suppose the firm borrows $80,000 at the risk-free rate for the initial investment, what is the cost of capital for the firm's levered equity?
