6. How does the financing decision (equity vs. debt) for a project affect NPV? (5 pts)

By creating a tax shield, choosing debt could increase the project NPV.

If you said financing doesn't matter, you got some points. If you just stated the M&M list, you got half credit. If you specifically mentioned tax shields as part of the list or in the answer, you got full credit.
