The new restaurant will occupy an existing building that can be rented for​ $2,500 per month. The incremental cash flows for the new restaurant include A. ​$500 administrative​ costs, $1,000 per month interest​ payments, $2,500 per month rent. B. ​$2,500 per month rent. C. ​$500 administrative​ costs, $2,500 per month rent. D. ​$1,000 per month interest​ payments, $2,500 per month rent.

Answer 1

Answer:

B) ​$2,500 per month rent.

Explanation:

Incremental cash flows do not include interest payments on investment capital, since the cash flows should be equally generated if you invest your own money, another partner invests his money or someone else lends it to you. The same logic applies to the administrative costs of the credit line.
