Explanation / Answer
Please rate - Thanks
1. Best choice:
(I did this by trial and error, looking for the maximum total NPV, given the costs not to exceed $6M.)
Projects D+B+F
total costs = 3.75 + 1.75 + 0.5 = 6
total NPV = 0.95 + 0.52 + 0.25 = 1.72
2.
C. A credit against the tax liability; not deductible
Consider land for example. It is a non-depreciable asset and therefore it is non-deductible.
3.
breakeven point
= costs / ( 1 - tax rate )
= ( $5M * 0.1 + $3M * 0.12 ) / ( 1 - 0.40 )
= $0.860M / (1 - 0.40 )
= $1.433 millions
4.
A. NPV
5. breakeven point
= Fixed costs / (unit selling price - variable costs)
= $75,000 / ($14.99 - $4.99)
= 7,500 units
6.
1. Remain unchanged
