What happens to the NPV of a 1-year project if fixed costs are increased from $200 to $300, the firm is profitable, has a 35% tax rate and employs a 12% cost of capital?

  1. NPV decreases by $100.
  2. NPV decreases by $89.29.
  3. NPV decreases by $65.
  4. NPV decreases by $58 .05%

Answer(s): D
