Answer:
What does the IRR rule say about whether you should accept this opportunity?
The IRR rule basically states that if the project's internal rate of return (IRR) is higher than the cost of capital (discount rate or WACC), then the project should be accepted. In this case, we are not given the company's WACC or any discount rate we can use, therefore there is nothing to compare the project's IRR against.
Based on prior experience, this project's IRR will not be very high and if we consider the cost of keeping the site clean forever, I really doubt that the project is profitable. If you calculate the project's IRR without including the perpetual cleaning cost, IRR = 11%.
If we assume any of the 3 WACCs I used as an example below, the project's IRR including cleaning costs:
- if WACC = 12%, then IRR = 9.26% REJECTED
- if WACC = 10%, then IRR = 8.98% REJECTED
- if WACC = 9%, then IRR = 8.79% REJECTED
- if WACC = 8%, then IRR = 8.54% ACCEPTED
In order for this project to be profitable, the WACC would need to be very low (around 8% or less).
Explanation:
cost of opening a new mine $120 million
annual cash flow $20 million
expected cleaning costs $2 per year in perpetuity
the cost of keeping the site clean forever = $2 million / discount rate or WACC:
- if WACC = 12%, then perpetual cost = $16.67 million
- if WACC = 10%, then perpetual cost = $20 million
- if WACC = 9%, then perpetual cost = $22.22 million
- if WACC = 8%, then perpetual cost = $25 million
When a broker-dealer maintains a firm market in a stock, that broker-dealer is committed to purchasing or sale of up to the stated maximum number of round lots (the standard trading unit of the stock) at the stated price.
This is further explained below.
<h3>What is a
firm?</h3>
Generally, A company providing professional services for compensation, such as law or accountancy, is called a "firm." One key tenet of "theory of the company" is that enterprises' primary purpose is to increase shareholder wealth.
In conclusion, By keeping a "firm market," a broker-dealer promises to buy or sell up to the maximum number of round lots (the stock's standard trading unit) at the quoted price.
