The risk free rate is 4% and the market rate of return is 9%. RFG is financed entirely by equity. The company generates an annual cash surplus of $28.8 million.

This new business will reduce RFG's beta to 1.4.
Calculate the adjusted present value of the expansion.

A is prepared to forego the expected cash flows from this project in return for a guaranteed payment of $50,000 at the end of year 1, $42,000 at the end of year 2 and $30,000 at the end of year 3. What is the certainty equivalent value of this opportunity to A?

  1. $9,493
