Casper's is analyzing a proposed expansion project that is much riskier than the firm's current operations. Thus, the project will be assigned a discount rate equal to the firm's cost of capital plus 3 percent. The proposed project has an initial cost of $17.2 million that will be depreciated on a straight-line basis over 20 years. The project also requires additional inventory of $687,000 over the project's life. Management estimates the facility will generate cash inflows of $2.78 million a year over its 20-year life. After 20 years, the company plans to sell the facility for an estimated $1.3 million. The company has 60,000 shares of common stock outstanding at a market price of $49 a share. This stock just paid an annual dividend of $1.84 a share. The dividend is expected to increase by 3.5 percent annually.
