Answer:

The discount rate for this project is 5%.

Explanation:

The discount rate for the new project will be the required rate of return or the cost of equity that will be used to discount the cash flows from the project to calculate its Net present value. Using the CAPM, we can calculate the required rate of return (r) as:

r = rRF + beta * rpM

Where,

  • rRF is the risk free rate
  • beta is the stock's beta or measure of risk
  • rpM is the market risk premium

r = 2% + 0.5 * 6% = 0.05 or 5%

Break even point shows the amount of sales volume where the total cost is equal to the company´s full income. The point where total costs are equal total revenue is known as the break even point.

If sales increase, and the costs remains the same, the break even point is going to decrease.
