Question

Black Oil Company considered building a service station in a new location. The owners and their accountants decided that this was the profitable thing to do. However, soon after they made this decision, both the interest rate and the cost of building the station changed. In which case do these changes both make it less likely that they will now build the station?

Answer 1

Answer: An increase in the Interest rates and the cost of building the station

Explanation:

Before setting out to do business, most companies and investors calculate the cost of setting up the business and what they stand to gain when the business does well and when it doesn't. Most of these analysis are done when the business is being put into consideration. When there is a change in cost of any of the items put into consideration, the business would either be carried out or cancelled. What could discourage the Black oil company would be either an increase in interest rates or cost of building the station.
