is 9%. Your firm's long-term borrowing rate is 6%.
Now you are approached by Studebaker Capital Corp., which proposes a fixed-price contract to supply raw materials at $10 million per
year for 10 years.
a. What happens to the operating leverage and business risk of the encabulator machine if you agree to this fixed-price contract?
