Answer:
deduction for organizational expenses = $5,000
Explanation:
Since the total startup costs are over $50,000 then the company's deduction will be lower. Generally speaking, a company can deduct up to $5,000 in organizational an startup costs ($5,000 each). But if the costs are over $50,000, then your deduction will be reduced by $1 for each dollar over that threshold.
In this case, organizational costs were $9,500, so they can deduct $5,000 during the first year and $4,500 will be amortized over the next 15 years. Startup costs are $54,500, which means that they can only deduct $5,000 - ($54,500 - $50,000) = $500 during the first year. The remaining $54,000 must be amortized over a 15 year period. Total deduction during the first year = $5,000 + $500 = $5,500
Answer:
Explanation:
If a company(Marriott in this case) uses a single hurdle rate to decide whether an investment should be undertaken or not, some projects that need to be accepted would end up being rejected and vice versa. For example,
if Marriott's hurdle rate is 10% and it's evaluating
project A with a 15% cost of capital &
project B with a 6% cost of capital .
Evaluation:
Project A would probably lead to a negative NPV because the cost of capital is higher (meaning it is riskier than the firm) hence could be rejected, but using the company hurdle rate of 10% to evaluate it could make its NPV positive. This would ignore the actual additional risk of the project.
