        A project will produce sales of $500 in one month.  Sales are projected to grow by 0.5% each subsequent month until the project ends after 60 months.  Costs are $200 per month.  The project requires the purchase of a machine that costs $12,000 which depreciates to zero over 8 years.  You think the machine will be worthless at project end.  At the beginning of each month you must have NWC equal to 40% of end-of-month sales.
 The cost of the project at t=0 (an investment is required to buy the machine and for NWC at t=0) will be funded by issuing debt and equity.  You will issue a bond with face value=$5,000, maturity 5yrs, coupon rate=6%, and YTM=8%.  You raise the remainder by issuing stock.  The firm's annual WACC is 15%.   Tax rate is 35%.
 
 1. What is NPV of the project?
 2. What is the cost of equity?
 3. What would be the total value of the project (D E) if no leverage was used?
