Alcoa's weighted average cost of capital was around 12%, but its investments were earning returns closer to 5%. From 2010 to 2012, Alcoa invested roughly $1 billion in capital expenditures. Suppose Alcoa spends $1billion expanding its manufacturing facilities today, and that investment produces a net cash flow of $50 million (5percent of $1 billion) every year in perpetuity. Calculate the NPV of that investment using a 12% discount rate. How much value does the $1 billion investment create or destroy? Does it seem that Alcoa should be pursuing growth in this market?
