You are looking at an investment for your firm. You can buy a manufacturing plant for your firm for $90 million. You consider this investment to be of average risk to your company. You believe that there are three possible scenarios for this investment:

The investment generates a steady stream of FCFs of $15 million per year into perpetuity (with a probability of 40%)

The investment generates a steady stream of FCFs of $9 million per year into perpetuity (with a probability of 30%)

The investment generates a steady stream of FCFs of $4 million per year into perpetuity (with a probability of 30%)

You also are aware that you can sell the manufacturing plant next year for $75 million if the firm wants to get out from the investment.

Your most similar competitor (in terms of business products, customers, and geography) has a target capital structure (market value) of 50% debt and 50% equity. Their equity beta is 1.6. The target capital structure (market value) of your firm is 30% debt and 70% equity. The marginal tax rate for both firms is 35%.

The yield on long-term U.S. Treasuries is 3%. The yield on your firms bonds is 4.5%. And the market risk premium is 7%.
