RFG is considering a major expansion that will result in a more diversified business model. At present, RFG's market capitalisation is $240 million. This is based on a beta of 1.6. 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.
The expansion will cost $50 million and will generate future cash flows of $12 million in perpetuity.
This new business will reduce RFG's beta to 1.4.
Calculate the adjusted present value of the expansion.

A has an opportunity to invest $90,000 in a project that is expected to generate annual cash inflows of $60,000 for each of the next three years. The project's beta coefficient implies a discount rate of 12% for this project, based on a risk-free rate of return of 3%. 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?
