Wansley Lumber is considering the purchase of a paper company, which would require an initial investment of $300 million. Wansley estimates that the paper company would provide net cash flows of $40 million at the end of each of the next 20 years. The cost of capital for the paper company is 13%. Should Wansley purchase the paper company? Wansley realizes that the cash flows in Years 1 to 20 might be $30 million per year or $50 million per year, with a 50% probability of each outcome. Because of the nature of the purchase contract, Wansley can sell the company 2 years after purchase (at Year 2 in this case) for $280 million if it no longer wants to own it. Given this additional information, does decision-tree analysis indicate that it makes sense to purchase the paper company? Again, assume that all cash flows are discounted at 13%. Wansley can wait for 1 year and find out whether the cash flows will be $30 million per year or $50 million per year before deciding to purchase the company. Because of the nature of the purchase contract, if it waits to purchase, Wansley can no longer sell the company 2 years after purchase. Given this additional information, does decision-tree analysis indicate that it makes sense to purchase the paper company? If so, when? Again, assume that all cash flows are discounted at 13%.

A project costs $379 at t = 0 and generates unlevered after - tax cash flows of $50 per year forever. The project's unlevered cost of capital is 10.5%. The initial cost of the project is paid for with a combination of debt and equity. Debt contributes $77 and will earn interest at 2.0% forever. (The debt is perpetual, it never matures. Assume the debt tax shield cash flows have the same risk profile as the debt cash flows. The debt is fairly priced. All of the project NPV accrues to the equity holders.) The tax rate is 17%. What is the levered NPV of the project? (Calculate using the APV method.) Give your answer in dollars to the nearest $0.1
