Boehm Corporation produces satellite earth stations that sell for $150,000 each. The firms fixed costs are $1.5 million, 20 earth stations are produced and sold each year. Profits are $400,000 and the firms assets (all equity financed) are $5million.

Boehm Corporation has tax carryforwards that render its tax rate zero, its cost of equity is 18%
