How would you determine the opportunity cost of capital for this investment? b. Suppose instead that the sequestered carbon has to be sold on the London Carbon Exchange. Carbon prices have been extremely volatile, but Pollution Busters' CFO learns that average rates of return from investment on that exchange have been about 20%.

Sensitivity Analysis We are evaluating a project that costs $1.68 million, has a six-year life, and has no salvage value. Assume that depreciation is straight-line to zero over the life of the project. Sales are projected at 90,000 units per year. Price per unit is $37.95, variable cost per unit is $23.20, and fixed costs are $815,000 per year. The tax rate is 21 percent, and we require a return of 11 percent on this project. a.

- Q 9 – A company constructs a building for its own use. Construction began on January 1, 2020 and ended on December 31,2020. In 2020, the company made the following expenditures related to this building: January 1, $480,000; March 31, $900,000; June 30, $1,600,000; and October 30, $1,800,000. To help finance construction, the company arranged a 15% construction loan on January 1 for $1,000,000. The company’s other borrowings, outstanding for the whole year, consisted of a $2 million loan and a $4 million note with interest rates of 8% and 6%, respectively.

The project is quite profitable as it will generate net cash inflows of $20 million per year for 5 years. However, it will cause pollution to the nearby residents. The company can mitigate this pollution by investing additional 10 million at Year 0 but legally it is not compulsory for it to do so. Undertaking this project would cost $60 million without mitigation. If the firm does invest in mitigation, the annual cash inflows would be $22 million. The risk adjusted WACC is 12%.
