What happens to the NPV of a one-year project if fixed costs are increased from $400 to $600, the firm is profitable, has a 15 percent tax rate and employs a 12 percent cost of capital?
A) NPV decreases by $178.23 |
||
B) NPV decreases by $113.04 |
||
C) NPV decreases by $151.78 |
||
D) NPV decreases by $200.00 |
If the fixed cost are increased by 200 then, we will discount the cost at present with the cost of capital and since it is just given that it is a fixed cost I will not be assuming that it is tax exempt.
Net present value will be decreasing by= ((600-400)/1.12)
All the other options are false.
Correct answer will be options (A) $178.24
