Pollution Busters Inc. is considering a purchase of 10 additional carbon Pollution Busters Inc. is considering a purchase of 10 additional sequesters for $100,000 apiece. The sequesters last for only 1 year before becoming saturated. Then the carbon is sold to the government.
Requirements:
(1) Suppose the government guarantees the price of carbon. At this price, the payoff after 1 year is $115,000 for sure. What is the opportunity cost of capital for this investment?
a. U. S. Treasuries with 1 year to maturity.
b. U. S. Treasuries with 2 years to maturity.
c. U. S. Treasuries with 3 years to maturity.
(2) Suppose instead that the sequestered carbon has to be sold on the London Carbon Exchange. Carbon prices have been extremely volatile, but Pollution Busters' CFO learns that average rates of return from investments on that exchange have been about 20%. She thinks this is a reasonable forecast for the future. What is the opportunity cost of capital in this case?
(3) Is the purchase of additional sequesters a worthwhile capital investment?
