Question - Suppose Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company is considering divesting one of its manufacturing plants. The plant is expected to generate free cash flows of $1.61 million peryear, growing at a rate of 2.4% per year. Goodyear has an equity cost of capital of 8.5%, a debt cost of capital of 6.7%, a marginal corporate tax rate of 38%, and a debt-equity ratio of 2.4. If the plant has average risk and Goodyear plans to maintain a constant debt-equity ratio, what after-tax amount must it receive for the plant for the divestiture to be profitable?
A divestiture would be profitable if Goodyear received more than $ --- million after tax. (Round to one decimal place.)
