b. How can your firm turn this NPV into cash today?

• C. The firm can borrow $19.53 million today and pay it back with 10.1% interest using the $21.5 million it will receive from the government

Explanation:

year                               net cash flows

0                                       -$10.2 million

1                                         $16.4 million

discount rate 10.1%

NPV = -$10.2 million + $16.4 million / 1.101 = -$10.2 million + $14.9 million = $4.7 million

the PV of the $21.5 million government payment = $21.5 / 1.101 = $19.53 million
