Retlaw Corporation (RC) manufactures time-series photographic equipment. It is currently at its target debtequity ratio of 0.83. Its considering building a new $46 million manufacturing facility. This new plant is expected to generate after-tax cash flows of $8.5 million in perpetuity. The company raises all equity from outside financing. There are three financing options:

1. A new issue of common stock: The flotation costs of the new common stock would be 8% of the amount raised. The required return on the companys new equity is 16%.
2. A new issue of 20-year bonds: The flotation costs of the new bonds would be 4% of the proceeds. If the company issues these new bonds at an annual coupon rate of 8.0%, they will sell at par.
3. Increased use of accounts payable financing: Because this financing is part of the companys ongoing daily business, it has no flotation costs, and the company assigns it a cost that is the same as the overall firm WACC. Management has a target ratio of accounts payable to long-term debt of 0.140. (Assume there is no difference between the pre-tax and after-tax accounts payable cost.)

What is the NPV of the new plant? Assume that RC has a 35% tax rate. (Enter the answer in dollars. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round the WACC percentage to 2 decimal places. Round the final answer to 2 decimal places. Omit $ sign in your response.)
