Answer:

Present value = $416666.6667 rounded off to $416666.67

Explanation:

To calculate the most the firm could pay for the project, we will need to calculate the present value of the project when discounted at the WACC for the project, which is equal to the WACC for the firm in this case. The cashflows from the project will be perpetual, thus we will use the formula for the present value of perpetuity.

Present value of perpetuity = Cash flow / r

Where,

r is the rate of discount or discount factor which in this case is WACC

Present value = 50000 / 0.12

Present value = $416666.6667 rounded off to $416666.67

Which costs will change with a decrease in activity within the relevant range? Select one:
Harman [31]

Answer:

The correct answer is option b.  

Explanation:

The fixed costs refer to that part of the cost of production which is not affected by the volume of activity. The total fixed cost remains constant in the entire production process.

The fixed cost per unit is the ratio of total fixed costs and the level of output. It increases with a decrease in level of activity.

The variable cost is the cost incurred on the variable inputs employed in the process of production. As the level of activity declines the number of variable factors employed will also decline. This will cause the total variable cost to decrease.

in question it was asked to give in real then we will use the real discount rate to know annual spent amount

Present Value = PMT×PVIFA ( at 4% and 20 years)

Therefore, PMT = Present Value of Cash / PVIFA ( at 4% and 20 years)

= 1000000 / 13.5903

= $73581.75

Where,  PMT = Annual Spent Amount

PVIFA = Present Value interest Factor Annuity
