Carson Electronics uses 58 percent common stock and 42 percent debt to finance its operations. The aftertax cost of debt is 5.4

percent and the cost of equity is 15.3 percent. Management is considering a project that will produce a cash inflow of $49,600 in the first year. The cash inflows will then grow at 2.5 percent per year forever. What is the maximum amount the firm can initially invest in this project to avoid a negative net present value for the project?

Answer:

$573,941.22

Explanation:

Use WACC formula to find the cost of capital for discounting the given cashflows;

WACC = wE*rE + wD*rd (1-tax)

whereby;

wE = weight of equity

rE = cost of equity

wD = weight of debt

rd (1-tax) = aftertax cost of debt

WACC = (0.58*0.153) + (0.42 *0.054)

= 0.08874 + 0.02268

= 0.1114 or 11.14%

Find the present value of the growing perpetual cashflows which will be equivalent to the maximum initial outlay of the project needed to avoid a negative NPV;

PV = CF/ (WACC - g)

Cashflow; CF = $49,600

WACC = 11.14%

growth rate ; g = 2.5%

PV = 49,600/ (0.1114 - 0.025)

PV = 573,941.22

Therefore, maximum amount the firm can initially invest in this project to avoid a negative net present value is $573,941.22

pishuonlain [190]

Answer: Firms will exit the market, causing price to rise until losses are eliminated

Explanation:

When there is a decrease in demand in a Perfectly Competitive Market, firms will have to start producing at a lower Quantity to manage their Marginal cost. This leads to Economic losses on their part in the short run.

In the long run however, should the situation remain the same, the new price would be less than their Average Cost which would deepen Economic losses. Firms would respond by exiting the market in the long run.

As the firms exit, the supply curve shifts left as supply drops. This drop in supply leads to a price rise. The exits will continue until enough firms leave that the market's remaining firms will stop suffering economic losses.

slavikrds [6]

Answer:

Explanation:

The interest expense would be

= Borrowing amount × annual rate of interest

= $80,000 × 8%

= $6,400

And, the principal would be

= Annual payment - interest expense

= $20,037 - $6,400

= $13,637

The principal balance on January 1, 2019 would be

= Borrowed amount - principal repaid amount

= $80,000 - $13,637

= $66,363

The interest expense would be

= Borrowing amount of 2019 × annual rate of interest

= $66,363 × 8%

= $5,309

And, the principal would be

= Annual payment - interest expense

= $20,037 - $5,309

= $14,728
