    Hi Gromit

    Please assist on question 5. What is the Base Case NPV? Please see my workings and advise where I went wrong
    1.Base NPV $130m
    2. (a) Interest on Tax shield = Tax rate x Pre tax borrowing rate x Debt
    = 0.25 x 0.05 x $200
    =$2.5
    2.(b) PV of tax shield = Interest Tax Shield / Pre tax borrowing
    =$2.5/0.05
    =$50
    3.APV = Base case NPV + PV of tax shield
    = $130+$50
    =$180

    Annual interest is 200 x 7% = 14
    Tax relief on this is 14 x 25% = 3.5 pa

    Discount at risk free rate of 5% in perp = 3.5/0.05 = 70

    APV = 130 + 70 = 200

    The source of the benefit arising from borrowing is the tax relief on the actual interest.
