  1. National Electric Company (NEC) is considering a $22 million expansion project. The projects expected after-tax cash flows will be $4 million, in perpetuity. The company can issue either equity or debt to raise the necessary $22 million. Its cost of equity is 20%. The expansion project has the same risk as the existing business and NEC is in the 34% tax bracket.
    1. If the project is financed at 100% with equity, will you invest in this project?
    2. Suppose now that the NECs target debt-equity ratio is 1 and its cost of debt is 10%. Using the APV approach, will you invest in this project?
