[6:46 am, 15/01/2022] Mahmoud: 19. Cost of Capital. Pollution Busters, Inc., is considering a purchase of 10 additional carbon sequesters for $100,000 apiece. The sequesters last for only 1 year until saturated with carbon. Then the carbon is removed and sold. (O LO4) a. Suppose the government guarantees the price of carbon. At this price, the payoff after 1 year is guaranteed to be $115,000. 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%. She thinks this is a reasonable forecast for the future. What is the opportunity cost of capital in this case? Is the purchase of an additional sequester a worthwhile capital investment if she expects that the price of extracted carbon will $115,000?

- E8.18 (LO 4) (LIFO Effect) The following example was provided to encourage the use of the LIFO method. In a nutshell, LIFO subtracts inflation from inventory costs, deducts it from taxable income, and records it in a LIFO reserve account on the books. The LIFO benefit grows as inflation widens the gap between current-year and past-year (minus inflation) inventory costs. This gap is: With LIFO Revenues $3,200,000 Without LIFO $3,200,000 2,800,000 150,000 250,000 0 $ 250,000 $ 90,000 $ 160,000 0 0% Cost of goods sold Operating expenses Operating income LIFO adjustment Taxable income Income taxes (36%) Cash flowExtra cash Increased cash flow 2,800,000 150,000 250,000 40,000 $ 210,000 $ 75,600 $ 174,400 $ 14,400 9% Instructions a.
