Alternatively, the firm can develop the land at an up-front cost of $19.8 million. The developed the land will be worth $35.5 million in one year. Suppose the risk-free interest rate is 10.2%, assume all cash flows are risk-free, and there are no taxes. a. If the firm chooses not to develop the land, what is the value of the firm's equity today? What is the value of the debt today? b. What is the NPV of developing the land? c.

If the firm chooses not to develop the land, what is the value of the firm's equity today? What is the value of the debt today?
