You run a perpetual encabulator machine, which generates revenues averaging $28 million per year. Raw material costs are 50% of revenues. These costs are variable-they are always proportional to revenues. There are no other operating costs. The cost of capital is 13%. Your firm's long-term borrowing rate is 10%. Now you are approached by Studebaker Capital Corp., which proposes a fixed-price contract to supply raw materials at $14.00 million per year for 9 years. a. What happens to the operating leverage and business risk of the encabulator machine if you agree to this fixed-price contract? Operating leverage and business risk increases Operating leverage and business risk decreases b. Calculate the present value of the encabulator machine with and without the fixed-price contract. (Do not round Intermediate calculations. Enter your answers in dollars not in millions. Round your answers to the nearest whole dollar amount.) With contract Without contract Present Value

You possess a small manufacturing facility making $2 million annually. Depending on a long-term government contract decision, next year, your revenue could either rise by 20% or drop by 25%, both outcomes having an equal chance, and maintaining that level for the plant's operational duration. Additional costs tally up to $1.6 million per year. You can sell the plant at any time to a large conglomerate for $5 million and your cost of capital is 10%. If the government does not award you the contract and your sales decrease by 25%, what will be the value of your plant?
