Developing the World’s Largest Commercial Jet
How will the project be financed?
• $5.9 billion from internal equity • $3.5 billion from “risk-sharing partners” • $3.6 billion from “launch aid” • Total: $13.0 billion

Cost of capital
• k = rf + β (rm – rf) • rf = .06 β = .84 (rm – rf) = .06 (page 8) (page 8) (given)
• k = .06 + .84 (.06) = .1104 ≈ 11%
What if the launch aid is “free?”
• Cost of capital = $9.4 billion @ 11% $3.6 billion @ 0% $13.0 billion @ 8%

Discount outlays @11% and tax shield inflows @6%. Tax rate = 38% (page 6). NPV = ($9.0 billion) outlays + $3.6 billion tax shields = ($5.4 billion) Government pays $3.6 billion in launch aid, plus the $3.6 billion in tax shields

Operating earnings
• Price per plane: $225 million • Operating profit (earnings): 20%
15%? 30%?
• Tax rate: 38% • Output per year: 50
(“just over 4 per month”)
Annual cash flow: $225 x 50 x .20 x (1-.38) = $1.4 billion
What is the revenue stream worth?
• Assume 50 aircraft / year beginning
