The Papillon Corporation is considering launching a new project, and it would like to do the math to figure out if it is worth it. The Papillon Corporation has no loans, and currently its cost of equity is 10.9 %. The project would require an immediate investment of $11.46 million to buy production equipment. The equipment will depreciate according to the straight-line method, and its economic life is 6 years. The Papillon Corporation expects that this 6-year- long project would bring "revenues minus costs of goods sold" in the amount of $3.23 million each year. (Use the company's cost of equity to discount their after-tax values.) You also know that the T-Bill, or the risk-free, rate is 2.8 % per year.

Salvage Co. is considering the purchase of a new ocean-going vessel that could potentially reduce labor costs of its operation by a considerable margin. The new ship would cost P500,000 and would be fully depreciated by the straight-line method over 10 years. At the end of 10 years, the ship will have no value and will be sunk in some already polluted harbor. The Salvage Co's cost of capital is 12 percent, and its marginal tax rate is 40 percent. If the ship produces equal annual labor cost savings over its 10-year life, how much is the annual cash inflow of the project should IRR be the same as the cost of capital?
