Answer:
What does the IRR rule say about whether you should accept this opportunity?
The IRR rule basically states that if the project's internal rate of return (IRR) is higher than the cost of capital (discount rate or WACC), then the project should be accepted. In this case, we are not given the company's WACC or any discount rate we can use, therefore there is nothing to compare the project's IRR against.
Based on prior experience, this project's IRR will not be very high and if we consider the cost of keeping the site clean forever, I really doubt that the project is profitable. If you calculate the project's IRR without including the perpetual cleaning cost, IRR = 11%.
If we assume any of the 3 WACCs I used as an example below, the project's IRR including cleaning costs:
- if WACC = 12%, then IRR = 9.26% REJECTED
- if WACC = 10%, then IRR = 8.98% REJECTED
- if WACC = 9%, then IRR = 8.79% REJECTED
- if WACC = 8%, then IRR = 8.54% ACCEPTED
In order for this project to be profitable, the WACC would need to be very low (around 8% or less).
Explanation:
cost of opening a new mine $120 million
annual cash flow $20 million
expected cleaning costs $2 per year in perpetuity
the cost of keeping the site clean forever = $2 million / discount rate or WACC:
- if WACC = 12%, then perpetual cost = $16.67 million
- if WACC = 10%, then perpetual cost = $20 million
- if WACC = 9%, then perpetual cost = $22.22 million
- if WACC = 8%, then perpetual cost = $25 million
Answer:

Answer:
225,000 shares
Explanation:
A company's shares outstanding refers to the total number of shares investors currently own.
Beck Corp. issued 200,000 shares of common stock when it began operations in year 1 and issued an additional 100,000 shares in year 2.
In year 3, Beck purchased 75,000 shares of its common stock and held it in Treasury.
At December 31, year 3, the number of shares of Beck's common stock were outstanding is
200,000 shares in year 1
100,000 shares in year 2
Total Common Stock = 300,000
less: Treasury Stock of 75,000
Outstanding Stock = 225,000 shares
