Answer:
A. 3.8 YEARS
B YES
C $325.91
Explanation:
Payback period is the amount of time it takes to recover the amount invested in a project from its cumulative cash flows.
payback period = amount invested / cash flows
$1,900 / $500 = 3.8 years
the project should be accepted because the payback period is less than the maximum acceptable year
Net present value is the present value of after tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.
NPV can be calculated using a financial calculator
cash flow in year 0 = $-1900
cash flow each year from year 1 to 5 = $500
I = 4%
NPV = $325.91
To find the NPV using a financial calculator:
1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
2. after inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
3. Press compute
Answer:
$8.78
Explanation:
National advertising made dividend payment of $0.75 per share
The dividend is expected to grow at a constant rate of 6.50%
= 6.50/100
= 0.065
The company beta is 1.85
The required return on the market is 10.50%
The risk free rate is 4.50%
The first step is to calculate the rate of return using the CAMP model
R = Risk free rate+beta(market return-risk free rate)
= 4.50%+1.85(10.50%-4.50%)
= 4.50%+1.85×6%
= 4.50%+11.1
= 15.6
Required rate of return= 15.6
Therefore the current stock price can be calculated as follows
Po= Do(1+g)/(r-g)
Where Do= 0.75, g= 0.065, r= 15.6
Po= 0.75(1+0.065)/(0.156-0.065)
Po= 0.75(1.065)/0.091
Po= 0.7987/0.091
Po= $8.78
Hence the company current stock price is $8.78
Answer:
The balance in the Prepaid Rent account as of April 30, 2018 = $7,200

Answer:
C) a reduction in the saving rate will have an ambiguous effect on (C/N)*
Explanation:
The steady state consumption refers to the difference between how capital wears out or depreciates vs total output. In order to keep a steady state consumption, the savings rate (which equals investment) must be enough to replace any worn out or completely depreciated capital.
Since the consumption rate is already higher than the steady state consumption, the effect of a decrease in the savings rate is ambiguous. Every dollar earned by a household is either spent or saved, and in order for savings to decrease, spending must increase.
But in this case, the spending level is already too high. A decrease in savings should increase consumption but the effects of the increase in the capital labor ratio and the per capita consumption are not certain.
Answer:
$33,900 (none of the options given in the question are correct).
Explanation:
George's adjusted gross income (AGI) will include his personal earnings from his salary, the interest that he has earned from savings, and the dividends that he got from mutual funds, but it will not include his contribution to his individual retirement account, because individual retirement accounts are not included in AGI.
Therefore, George's AGI is equal to:
$34,000 + $800 + $600 - $1,500 = $33.900
