Answer:

a. keep producing in the short run but exit the market in the long run.

Explanation:

To answer the question, there is a need to look at the effect of the situation on the firm both in the short- run and the long-run

Short Run Effect

The Marginal cost is between average variable cost and average total cost. The business can still continue producing goods because the quantity being produced is still able to cover the average variable cost. This means that the firm is still able meet its variable costs by setting the price of its goods to its marginal cost which is an amount greater than its average variable cost.  

Long Run Effect

However, in the long-run the company will begin to have issues even meeting other important costs such as the fixed costs associated with production and as such, the firm will need to exit the market in the long run. For instance the cost of long term loans (principal and interest) may not be covered by the net income of the firm.

Consider the following projects. Project CO C1 C2 СЗ C4 C5 A -1,000 +1,000 0 0 0 10 B -2,000 |+1,000 |+1,000 +4,000 +1,000 +1,00
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

a) $3,458

Explanation:

The net present value is the present value of future cash flows discounted at the firm's weighted average cost of capital(which is the appropriate discount rate in this case) minus the initial investment outlay

cost of equity=risk-free rate+beta*(expected market return-risk free rate)

cost of equity=2.5%+1.5*(12%-2.5%)

cost of equity=16.75%

after-tax cost of debt=5.2%*(1-21%)

after-tax cost of debt=4.11%

WACC=(weight of equity*cost of equity)+(weight of debt*after-tax cost of debt)

weight of equity=value of equity/(value of equity+value of debt)

value of equity=6 billion*$3=$18 billion

value of debt=$5 billion

weight of equity=$18 billion/($18 billion+$5 billion)

weight of equity=78.26%

weight of debt=1-78.26%

weight of debt=21.74%

WACC=(78.26%*16.75%)+(21.74%*4.11%)

WACC=14.00%

present value of a future cash flow=future cash flow/(1+WACC)^n

n is the year in which the cash flow is expected, it is 1 for year 1 cash flow, 2 for year 2 cash flow ,and so on

NPV of project B=1000/(1+14%)^1+1000/(1+14%)^2++4000/(1+14%)^3+1000/(1+14%)^4+1000/(1+14%)^5-2000

NPV of project B=$ 3,458.00
