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:
a) Means higher marginal tax rates at higher income levels.
Explanation:
The progressive tax system is a system where the rate of the taxes according to the increased in the taxable amount. It generally applied to the personal income taxes that means if the people have the less income so less tax rate would be applied and if the people have the high income so high tax rate is applied

Explanation:
Given the formula for future growing annuity
we need to solve for the yearly payment:
grow rate: 0.04
annual effective rate: 8% compounding semiannually:
r= 0.0816
FV 2,500,000
n 46
<em><u>Formula for future value fo an ordinary annuity:</u></em>
The first annual depoisit will be of 3,373.49 dollars
Answer:
The Draper Corporation would be indifferent between continuing and discontinuing of Doombugs at 20,000 units.
Explanation:
The draper should be indifferent at the level at which they covered all of their Fixed Cost.
The sales price per unit is ⇒ 150,000/15,000 = 10 per unit
The Variable cost per unit is ⇒ 120,000/15,000 = 8 per unit
The Break-even units for Draper should be:
Break-even units = <u> Fixed Cost </u>
Sale price - Variable Cost
Break-even units = <u>40,000</u>
10-8
Break-even units = <u>40,000</u>
2
Break-even units = 20,000 units
