Liverpool Ferries is a navigation company. Until last year Liverpool had no debt, and last year its operations had an expected net income of 2 million GBP. At the end of the year the company undertook some debt so that the debt-to-equity ratio is now equal to 1.6 and will be kept constant by the company. There is one ferry that will be fully depreciated in the next three years, with annual depreciation installments of 300,000 GBP each. After that all assets will be fully depreciated and no new asset will be acquired. The expected return on levered equity for Liverpool is 14.60% and the cost of debt is 8%. The tax rate on corporate earnings is 23% and the depreciation tax shield is as risky as the other unlevered cash-flow of the company. What is the value of Liverpool's asset, if the expected EBITDA of the company is constant?
