Answer:

B, decrease the firm's cost of capital

Explanation:

When the tax rate of a levered firm is increased, there is a decrease in the firm's cost of capital because the value of a levered firm is the sum of the market value of the firm's debt and its equity.

An increased tax rate means it has a greater debt and as such the firm's capital after settling tax debt is very reduced.

I hope this helps. Cheers.

The formula we will us to calculate the cash option payout for formula for calculating the present value (PV) .

Present value (PV) can simply be described as the current value of a future amount or future stream of cash flows given a certain return rate.

To calculate the PV of a future cash flow, we will discount it by using the discount rate.

The formula is provided as follows:

PV = FV/(1 + r)^n ............................................ (1)

Where,

PV = Present Value = ?

r = discount rate = 66% = 0.66

FV = annual future value = $863,636.36

n = number of years = 2222 years

Note that the annual future value calculated by diving the $1919 million by 2222 years and this give us $863,636.36 (i.e. 1,919,000,000 ÷ 2222 = $863,636.36).

Substituting the figures above into equation (1), we obtain:

PV = 863,636.36/(1 + 0.66)^2222

= 863,636.36/(1.66)^2222

= 863,636.36/∞

PV = 0

This is because, the division of any number by infinity is equal to zero. And if we multiply by zero by 2222, it will still give us zero PV.

Therefore, the cash option payout will be zero. It is better the winner take the option of collecting $863,636.36.
