R-Kraine Inc. is considering acquiring an existing project (with financial backing from the government). The project is expected to have another 8 (full) years of economic life. The project's year-end cash flows are as follows: Years 1-4: $2m each year Years 5-8: $500,000, $2m, $500,000 and $2m (respectively) Suppose the relevant discount rate for the project could be estimated from the following cash flows of an 8-year (fixed) coupon bond issued by R-Kraine a couple of months ago: Current market price (per unit): $584,608.5676 Face value (per unit): $800,000 Yearly coupon payments: $72,000
