Pinks Co. is a large company listed on a major stock exchange. In recent years, the board of Pinks Co. has been criticised for weak corporate governance and two of the company’s non-executive directors have just resigned. A recent story in the financial media has criticised the performance of Pinks Co. and claims that the company is failing to satisfy the objectives of its key stakeholders. Pinks Co. is appraising an investment project which it hopes will boost its performance. The project will cost $20 million, payable in full at the start of the first year of operation. The project life is expected to be four years. Forecast sales volumes, selling price, variable cost and fixed costs are as follows:
Year | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 |
Sales (Units/ year) | 300 000 | 410 000 | 525 000 | 220 000 |
Selling price ($/Unit) | 125 | 130 | 140 | 120 |
Variable cost ($/Unit) | 71 | 71 | 71 | 71 |
Fixed costs ($’000/year) | 3000 | 3100 | 3200 | 3000 |
Selling price and cost information are in current price terms, before applying selling price inflation of 5% per year, variable cost inflation of 3.5% per year and fixed cost inflation of 6% per year. Pinks Co. pays corporation tax of 26%, with the tax liability being settled in the year in which it arises. The company can claim tax- allowable depreciation on the full initial investment of $20 million on a 25% reducing balance basis. The investment project is expected to have zero residual value at the end of four years.
Pinks Co has a nominal after-tax cost of capital of 12% and a real after-tax cost of capital of 8%. The general rate of inflation is expected to be 3.7% per year for the foreseeable future.

During the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic, the government introduces a wage subsidy plan: a per-unit subsidy.
Suppose that the pre-pandemic demand for labour was D0=1400-50w, supply was S=50w-200. There were L0 workers employed at a wage of w0 dollars per hour. Suddenly, the demand for labour declined to D1=700-50w. Without a subsidy, employment would fall to L1, The goal of the per-unit subsidy is to avoid layoffs, L=L0, even though D1=700-50w. Calculate the per-unit subsidy to achieve this goal.
