Schweser Satellites Inc. produces satellite earth stations that sell for $100,000 each. The firms fixed costs, F, are $2 million

; 50 earth stations are produced and sold each year; profits total $500,000; and the firms assets (all equity financed) are $5 million. The firm estimates that it can change its production process, adding $4 million to investment and $500,000 to fixed operating costs. This change will (1) reduce variable costs per unit by $10,000 and (2) increase output by 20 units, but (3) the sales price on all units will have to be lowered to $95,000 to permit sales of the additional output. The firm has tax loss carry forwards that cause its tax rate to be zero, its cost of equity is 16%, and it uses no debt.
a. What is the incremental profit? To get a rough idea of the projects profitability, what is the projects expected rate of return for the next year (defined as the incremental profit divided by the investment)? Should the firm make the investment?

b. Would the firms break-even point increase or decrease if it made the change?

c. Would the new situation expose the firm to more or less business risk than the old one?

Your friends sees your answer #1 and assumes that each of those people has a high credit score . Why is your friend incorrect ?
Scilla [3833]

Answer:

To achieve a strong credit score, one must consistently manage debt repayments since they began borrowing.

Your friend is mistaken in thinking that everyone who made all payments on time within a single year has a high credit score, as this view overlooks prior years' activities.

Some individuals might have missed payments on earlier loans but managed to maintain timely payments in 2015. Although this can enhance their credit score, the score would still reflect a lower value due to previous behaviors that negatively impacted it.
