    Dear Tutor,
    I have a question regarding example 2 of the course note page 60 (PDF file).
    For part (b), i can calculate the tax saving of 0.45M (p.a.) and the maximum saving would be 0.45 x(1/5%)=9M (as infinity). so APV=28.64M.
    But if i use WACC method, the geared Ke =24.5% and WACC=18.2%. the NPV is 24.52M.
    Would you please advise why the results are different and which part I did wrong?
    Thanks a lot!

    Oh i suddenly figure out what i missed.
    Sld the cash flow for part (b) be as follows:
    Year0:(100)
    1:40.45
    2:40.45
    3:40.45
    4:40.45
    5:40.45
    6-infinity:0.45(p.a.)
    For Year1-5, discounted by 18.2%(calculated WACC) and also need to add 0.45/(18.2%)?
    So total gain for Part(b)=28.4?
    Pls advise if i find the correct answer, thanks!

    The problem is that the value of the equity will increase by the gain from the project. If we raise the money 70% equity, then because of the gain the equity will end up being more than 70%! This is what complicates it 🙂
