Consider the following case of Happy Turtle Transportation Company: Suppose Happy Turtle Transportation Company is considering a project that will require $400,000 in assets. The company is small, so it is exempt from the interest deduction limitation under the new tax law. • The project is expected to produce earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) of $40,000. Common equity outstanding will be 20,000 shares. • The company incurs a tax rate of 25%. If the project is financed using 100% equity capital, then Happy Turtle Transportation Company's return on equity (ROE) on the project will be In addition, Happy Turtle's earnings per share (EPS) will be Alternatively, Happy Turtle Transportation Company's CFO is also considering financing the project with 50% debt and 50% equity capital. The interest rate on the company's debt will be 12%. Because the company will finance only 50% of the project with equity, it will have only 10,000 shares outstanding. Happy Turtle Transportation Company's ROE and the company's EPS will be if management decides to finance the project with 50% debt and 50% equity. Typically, using financial leverage will a project's expected ROE.

Can you help in calculating the NPV for this ? Consider the following data - A machine costs $600 today (year 0). Assume this investment is fully tax-deductible, as stipulated by the new US corporate tax code of 2018. - This company has current pre-tax profits from other projects that are greater than $600, so it can take full advantage of the investment tax break above in year 0. - The machine will generate operating profits before depreciation (EBITDA) of $312 per year for 5 years. The first cash flow happens one year after the machine is put in place (year 1). - Depreciation is not tax-deductible. Notice that you do not need to calculate depreciation at all to solve this problem since it has no effect on taxes. - The tax rate is 21%…
