You work for ABC Co, a mining company that is looking at a new
project in Montana.
123 Financial Advisory Services has been hired to work on the
capital budgeting project. As agreed, the fee for their risk
assessment specific to the Montana project was $28,600. 123 has
concluded the financial risks of the Montana project are consistent
with the firm's existing operations.
In one paragraph, discuss whether this is an incremental cost of
the project (relevant or irrelevant) and explain the appropriate
treatment of the payment made to 123 relative to the project at
hand.
