Question

A firm is evaluating a project with an initial investment at time 0 of $640,000. The present value of the levered cash flows is $729,400 and the net present value of the project is $157,000. Using the flow-to-equity method of valuation determine the amount borrowed.A. $89,400B. $67,600C. $54,300D. $64,000

Answer 1

Answer:

Using the flow-equity method of valuation the borrowed is $67600,option B.

Explanation:

In order to determine the amount borrowed in executing the project, we make use of the below formula which shows that we are working  backwards.

Amount borrowed=present value of cash inflows-levered cash flows

present value of cash inflows=net present value+initial investment

present value of cash inflows=$157000+$640000

present value of cash inflows=$797000

levered cash flows=$729400

Amount borrowed=$797000-$729400

amount borrowed =$67600
