Caroline Mcguire · Answer 1

a. $2,500 per month rent

Explanation:

The incremental cash flows for the new restaurant would be $2,500 per month only as $500 would be the administrative cost which reflects the sunk cost and the expected interest payment is $1,000 which is not considered for the new restaurant as it is not relevant while computing the incremental cash flows

So, only $2,500 would be considered as it is related to the new restaurant
