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? please show the strpsarrow_forward
- F4. Sonic Corporation imports materials from a Nigerian supplier. Assume that it is 2020 and Sonic Corporation is worried that the Nigerian supplier may enter into a long-term contract with Chinese customer to sell all of their output to the Chinese customers, hence cutting off Sonic Corporation's supply. In the event of such a contract with the Chinese customers, Sonic Corporation will face much higher costs for its raw materials causing its operating profits to decline substantially and its marginal tax rate to fall from its current level of 25% down to 10%. An insurance firm has agreed to write a trade insurance policy that will pay Sonic Corporation $3,700,000 in the event of the Nigerian supply of materials being cut off. The chance of the Nigerian supply being cut off is estimated to be 30%, with a beta of -1.50. The risk-free rate of interest is 3% and the return on the market is estimated to be 10%. What is Sonic's NPV for purchasing this policy? (Hint: you need to determine…arrow_forward1. Your company is exporting product to Peru. Your best guess is that, over the coming year, you will have sales equal to 55 million Peruvian Soles (their currency). However, those sales will depend a lot on the results of the upcoming election in Peru and could, in reality range from a value of 40 million to 75 million soles.
