Using a financial calculator, I calculated the NPV using a 12% discount rate:
- Q's NPV = $200,636.15
- R's NPV = $259,221.01
To find the margin of safety in dollars, subtract the breakeven sales from the budged or actual sales.
Current sales are 41,800 units
Break even point in units is 33,900
Cost per unit is $170
(33,900)($170) = $5,763,000
(41,800)($170) = $7,106,000
The margin of safety in dollars is:
$7,106,000 - $5,763,000 = $1,343,000
Answer:
explains how a firm's WACC increases with the use of financial leverage.

The MM Proposition I with taxes reveals how utilizing the tax shield on debt causes an increase in the value of a firm
Answer:
A) initial outlay = $150 million
Cash flow year 1 = [($30 - $25) x 0.6] + $25 = $28
Cash flow year 2 = [($30 - $25) x 0.6] + $25 = $28
Cash flow year 3 = [($30 - $25) x 0.6] + $25 = $28
Cash flow year 4 = [($30 - $25) x 0.6] + $25 + ($25 x 60%) + $50 = $93
B) Using a financial calculator, NPV = -$16.85 million
C) cash flow year 4 should increase by $24.667 million, meaning that the selling price must increase by $$24.667/0.6 = $41.11 million
minimum selling price $25 + $41.11 = $66.11 million
