(Value of firm and WACC) Suppose a firm currently has an unleveraged required return of 13% and perpetual unleveraged after-tax income of $100,000 per year. The firm has come up with an investment opportunity that would alter the firm's asset makeup so that it would increase its perpetual unleveraged after-tax income to $120,000 per year. Because the new asset mix is riskier, the firm's unleveraged required return would also increase to 15%. Should the firm undertake this investment opportunity?
