You are considering an investment project with an internal rate of return of 8.7 percent, a net present value of $393, and a payback period of 2.44 years. Which one of the following is correct given this information?
A. The discount rate used to compute the net present value is equal to the Internal rate of return.
B. The discounted payback period will be less than 2.44 years.
C. The required payback period must be greater than 2.44 years.
D. The discount rate used in computing the net present value was less than 8.7 percent.
E. This project should be rejected based on the net present value.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Hence the correct option is d) The discount rate used in computing the net present value was less than 8.7 percent.

Explanation:  

As the discount rate increases, the present value decreases, and also at IRR the present value is zero, thus the answer is:-

d) The discount rate used in computing the net present value was less than 8.7 percent

Answer 2

Answer:

D). The discount rate used in computing the net present value was less than 8.7 percent.

Explanation:

'Net Present Value' is described as the 'difference that exists between existing values of cash inflows, as well as, cash outflows for a particular time period.' This assists in evaluating the profitability of an investment and make worthy decisions regarding investment.

As per the details provided, the discount rate considered for estimating the Net Present Value of the investment had been lesser than 8.7% which shows that the Net Present Value in positive i.e. $ 393. However, the investment project is not beneficial at all rather it may cause losses because the required return rate is 9.5% which is actually lesser and therefore, the project would prove incompetent and it must be rejected at once. Thus, option D is the correct answer.

Welcome Inn Hotels is considering the construction of a new hotel for $90 million. The expected life of the hotel is 30 years, with no residual value. The hotel is expected to earn revenues of $26 million per year. Total expenses, including depreciation, are expected to be $15 million per year. Welcome Inn management has set a minimum acceptable rate of return of 14%.
a. Determine the equal annual net cash flows from operating the hotel.
b. Calculate the net present value of the new hotel. Use 7.003 for the present value of an annuity of $1 at 14% for 30 periods.
c. Does your analysis support construction of the new hotel?

Answers

Answer:

a. Annual Net cash flows:

= Revenue - Expenses + Depreciation

= 26,000,000 - 15,000,000 + (90,000,000 / 30 years)

= 11,000,000 + 3,000,000

= $14,000,000

b. Net present value:

= Present value of cashflows - Investment cost

= (Annual cashflow * present value of an annuity, 14%, 30 periods) - Investment cost

= (14,000,000 * 7.003) - 90,000,000

= $8,042,000

c. Company should construct the hotel as it would bring a positive Net Present Value

Note: In "b" the cashflow was treated as an annuity because it is constant.

In a board of directors election for five directors and straight voting, a majority group of shareholders will elect a. four directors. b. five directors. c. four or five depending on how the cumulative voters vote. d. the same proportional share of directors as their ownership share.

Answers

Answer: b. five directors

Explanation:

Straight voting refers to a voting convention where shareholders are allowed to cast a single vote towards each director seat for each share they own. This is in contrast to cumulative voting where a single shareholder can decide to cast all their votes to one director.

In such a convention therefore, the majority will elect all five seats because the majority that voted for each seat will decide which director will be elected.

Joshua borrowed $1,400 for one year and paid $70 in interest. The bank charged him a service charge of $12. If Joshua repaid the loan in 12 equal monthly payments, what is the APR? (Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 1 decimal place.)
APR %

Answers

Answer: 10.81%

Explanation:

The annual percentage rate is the percentage cost of credit on yearly basis.

APR will be calculated

= [(2 x n x I) /( P x ( N + 1)]

where,

n = number of months = 12

I = Finance cost = Interest + service charge = $70 + $12 = $82

P = Borrowed amount = $1,400

N= Loan period = 12

We'll then slot the values into the annual percentage rate (APR) formula and this will be:

= ( 2 x n x I) /( P x ( N + 1))

= ( 2 x 12 x 82) /( 1400 x ( 12 + 1))

= 0.1081

=10.81 %

For the remaining questions, please consider the following transactions that happened upon the incorporation of Berry Company by its owner, John Berry, during the first week of January:

· It received €50,000 in cash from John Berry as capital.

· It borrowed €30,000 from a local bank.

· It purchased €15,000 of equipment for cash.

· It purchased €20,000 of inventory on account.

· It pre-paid €3,000 for the office rent and €2,000 for the insurance.

What is the total current assets at the end of the week?

Answers

Answer: €100,000

Explanation:

Cash received is an assetThe money borrowed is also cash so assets increaseEquipment was exchanged for cash. Both of them are assets so there is NO EFFECT on assets here. Inventory purchased on account will increase assets because assets were acquired with liabilities in this instance. Prepayments are assets but because this was paid with cash, there is NO EFFECT on assets as they cancel each other out.

Total assets at the end of the week are:

= Cash + Cash borrowed + Inventory purchased on account

= 50,000 + 30,000 + 20,000

= €100,000

A friend wants to borrow money from you. He states that he will pay you $4,700 every 6 months for 9 years with the first payment exactly 2 years and six months from today. The interest rate is an APR of 5.8 percent with semiannual compounding. What is the value of the payments today

Answers

Answer:

PV= $56,508.47

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Semmiannual payment= $4,700

Number of periods (n)= 9*2= 18 semesters

Interest rate= 0.058/2= 0.029

First, we need to calculate the value of the payments at the moment of the first payment:

PV= A*{(1/i) - 1/[i*(1 + i)^n]}

A= Semmiannual payment

PV= 4,700*{(1/0.029) - 1/[0.029*(1.029^18)]}

PV= $65,191.42

Now, the present value using the following formula:

PV= FV / (1 +i)^n

n= 2.5*2= 5 semesters

PV= 65,191.42 / (1.029^5)

PV= $56,508.47

a. large yearly growth rates are needed to achieve sustained growth.
b. large yearly growth rates are needed to achieve sustained growth.
c. small changes in economic growth rate lead to large GDP changes over time.
d. small changes in economic growth rate lead to large GDP changes over time.
e. interest compounding allow the economy to grow faster.

Answers

Answer: c. small changes in economic growth rate lead to large GDP changes over time.

Explanation:

If there is even a small change in the rate at which the economy is growing, this increase will increase by even more the year afterward and then even more as time goes on. This is because the interest is being compounded overtime.

Look at the future value formula that shows compounding for instance:

Future value = Amount * (1 + rate) ^ number of periods

Assume even a change of 2% in the growth rate. In 30 years, this rate would have increased the economy by:

= 1 * ( 1 + 2%)³⁰

= 1.81

Which is a rate of:

= 1.81 - 1

= 81%

What started off as only 2% became 81% in 30 years. This is what compounding does.

The Nearside Co. just paid a dividend of $1.65 per share on its stock. The dividends are expected to grow at a constant rate of 5 percent per year, indefinitely. Investors require a return of 12 percent on the stock. a. What is the current price

Answers

Answer:

$24.7

Explanation:

The first step is to calculate D1

1.65(1+5/100)

1.65(1+0.05)

1.65(1.05)

=>1.73

Therefore the current price can be calculated as follows

= D1/required rate-growth rate

= 1.73/0.12-0.05

= 1.73/0.07

= 24.7

Hence the current price is $24.7

What is the loan amount if the interest rate is 7.5% per year and the monthly interest payment is $1,250?

Inc. has just now paid a dividend of $2.50 per share (Div0); its dividends are expected to grow at a constant rate of 4 percent per year forever. If the required rate of return on the stock is 14 percent, what is the current value of the stock, after paying the dividend?
a. $26
b. $25
c. $17.86
d. $21.33

Answers

Answer: a. $26

Iris will want Joss's services but they will be unable to afford them as Iris is only willing to pay $500 whereas Joss wants $1,200 for the job.

The same goes for Daphne who is only willing to pay $800.

Both of them will therefore want to hire Joss but will be unable to.

Joss could however charge both of them their willingness to pay and then sum the cash up and give them both the research whilst still making a profit.
