Scanlin, Inc., is considering a project that will result in initial aftertax cash savings of $2.7 million at the end of the first year, and these savings will grow at a rate of 4 percent per year indefinitely. The firm has a target debt-equity ratio of .90, a cost of equity of 13 percent, and an aftertax cost of debt of 4.8 percent. The cost-saving proposal is somewhat riskier than the usual project the firm undertakes; management uses the subjective approach and applies an adjustment factor of +2 percent to the cost of capital for such risky projects. (Do not include the dollar sign ($). Do not round your intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest whole number. (e.g., 32))
The project should only be taken if its cost is less than $____ .
