2.You have been asked to evaluate an infinitely lived project. The project has a cost of $100. There is no depreciation. The project has sales of $100 per year forever. The operating expenses will be $54 the first year and will increase by 8 percent every year. The corporate tax rate is 30 percent, and the opportunity cost of capital is 10 percent. The project can be abandoned at any time. Assume that the cost of abandoning the project is equal to zero. When would it make sense to abandon the project?
