Adjusted Present Value (APV) approach, assuming the firm raises $750,000 of debt to fund the project and keeps the level of debt constant in perpetuity. Given that the debt is $750,000, interest = rd * 750,000 = 6.8% * 750,000 = $51,000, therefore DTS = tc*interest = 40% * 51,000 = $20,400, PV(DTS) = DTS/ra= $129,100. Therefore, APV = NPV + PV(DTS) = 1,228,500+129,100 =
