Answer:

The WACC will be 10% for average risk

below when the risk is low

and above 10% when the risk is higher than average

as the cost of capital (required return from the stockholders) will increase pushing the WACC higher

Explanation:

As the WACC is composed by the cost of debt and the cost of equity a higher risk will require a better return for the investor thus, the equity proportion that determinates the WACC will change along the project risk.

Explanation:

total proportions from building, equipment and franchises

= building proportion over 10 years + equipment proportion over 5 years + franchises proportion over 8 years

= $100,000/10 + $300,000/5 + $400,000/8

= $10,000 + $60,000 + $50,000

=$120,000

Excess Amortization = 25%(total proportions from building, equipment and franchises)

                                  = 25%($120,000)

                                  = $30,000

Therefore, the total amount of excess amortization for Austin’s 25% investment in Gainsville is $30,000.
