Sommer, Inc., is considering a project that will result in initial aftertax cash savings of $2.3 million at the end of the first

year, and these savings will grow at a rate of 2 percent per year indefinitely. The firm has a target debt-equity ratio of .60, a cost of equity of 10 percent, and an aftertax cost of debt of 4.6 percent. The cost-saving proposal is somewhat riskier than the usual project the firm undertakes; management uses the subjective approach and applies an adjustment factor of 3 percent to the cost of capital for such risky projects.
Required:
What is the maximum inital cost the company would be willing to pay for the project?

Neko [114]

Answer:

Since Mrs. O'Malley disenrolled form the plan because she was moving away to a location that was not served by the company, Agent Higgins compensation should not be affected.

If Mrs. O'Malley (or any other client) leaves the plan before the 3 month period because she decides to go back to her former provider since she doesn't like this plan (for whatever personal reason), then the company would be able to recoup Agent Higgins's compensation.
