Answer:
If the effective tax rate increases then the net savings coming from investments will get lowered as a result the investment will have higher payback period (The increase in effective tax rate would lower demand of the product which means there is decline in net saving arising from the sale of the product). Likewise this decrease in annual net savings will also decrease the internal rate of return which shows that their are increased chances of project rejections. The NPV method is based on cash flows and relevant costing just like IRR and payback method but the only difference is that it assumes that the cash earned would be reinvested at cost of capital. The NPV will also decrease due to increased effective tax rate.
Answer:
200
Explanation:
Base on the scenario been described in the question, the position required if the portfolio has a beta 1 is been calculated as follows .
number of contracts required is
Number of contract =10,000,000/(500×100)
Number of contract =10,000,000/50,000
Number of contract =200.
A long put position is needed because the contracts must provide a positive payoff when the market reduces.
Answer:
Basic EPS=$1.08
Explanation:
Basic EPS= Net income after tax-preferred shares' dividend/Weighted average of outstanding shares
Net income after tax=$360,000*.7=$252,000
Dividend to preference shareholders=20,000*1.8=$36,000
Weighted average shares outstanding=200,000
Basic EPS=($252,000-$36,000)/200,000
Basic EPS=$1.08
