Outline
• Adjusted Present Value (APV) Approach
Example
Consider a project of the Pearson Company. The timing and size
of the incremental after-tax cash flows for an all-equity firm are:
0 1 2 3 4
The unlevered cost of equity is R0 = 10%.
NPV = -1000+ 125/1.1 + 250/1.1^2 +375/1.1^3 +500/1.1^4
= $-56.5
Example
• Now, imagine that the firm finances the project with
$600 of debt at RB = 8%.
• Pearson’s tax rate is 40%, so they have an interest
tax shield worth TCBRB = 19.2 each year.
· The net present value of the project under leverage is:
APV = NPV + PV debt tax shield
· PV of interest tax (4 years, discount rate Rb= 8%) = 19.2x [1/0.08 – 1/0.08x(1.08)^4] = 63.59

Summary
4 Use the WACC or FTE if the firm's target debt-
to-value ratio applies to the project over its life.
· WACC is the most commonly used.
· FTE has appeal for a firm deeply in debt.
5 The APV method is used if the level of debt is
known over the project’s life.
· The APV method is frequently used for special
situations like interest subsidies, LBOs, and
leases.
6 The beta of the equity of the firm is positively
related to the leverage of the firm.
