(2) The company's tax rate is 34%.
(3) The risk-free rate is 2.60%, the market return is 8.50%, and the stock's beta is 1.50.
(4) The target capital structure consists of 35% debt and the balance is common equity.

5.AT&T inc is evaluating a new project whose data are shown below. The project has a 4-year tax life and would be fully depreciated by the straight-line method over 4 years, but it would have a positive pre-tax salvage value at the end of Year 4, when the project would be closed down.
Also, some new working capital would be required, but it would be recovered at the end of the project's life. Unit sales and fixed costs will be constant, but the sales price and variable cost should increase with inflation. Forecast the corresponding cash flows and determine the value of this project.
