(i) Computation of Project's Adjusted Present Value (APV):

Adjusted Present Value (APV) = Base Case NPV - Sum of  PVs of Financial Side Effects 

= 0 - ($640,000 * 18.03%)

Adjusted Present Value (APV) = -$115,392

 

(ii) Computation of Project's Adjusted Present Value (APV):

Adjusted Present Value (APV) = Base Case NPV + PV (Interest Tax Shield)

=  0 + $90,000 

Adjusted Present Value (APV) = $90,000
