Business

4 0

This answer requires that we fill in the blanks. The answers are contained in the bullet to fill the missing places

  • shareholder wealth
  • larger the NPV
  • higher stock price.
  • WACC
  • accept the project.
  • higher positive NPV.

<h3>What is the NPV?</h3>

This is the term that is used to refer to the net present value. This is the value that is calculated as the difference between the cash inflows and out flows for over a time period.

In order to get the NPV we have to make the following calculations for the projects A and B.

We have:

<u>For Project A</u>

-900 + 620/1.08 + 395/1.08² + 200/1.08³ + 250/1.08⁴

= $355. 237

<u> project B</u>

we would have

-900 + 620/1.08 + 395/1.08² + 200/1.08³ + 250/1.08⁴

= 378.98

The value for the project B happens to be greater than that of A hence this is the value that we have to accept

The United States also functions as 51 separate countries, because so many of the criminal justice decisions are made at the local and state levels. Legal officers like(Justice, sheriffs, prosecutors, legislators voting on crime laws, have supported the "get tough" policies that makes punishment stricter for offenders.

3. High rates in crime and killings.

The concept of risk and return is subjective for different people, as well as for corporations.
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

Risk and Return

1. Joe is an average investor. His financial advisor gave him options of investing in stock A, with a σ of 12%, and stock B, with a σ of 9%. Both stocks have the same expected return of 16%. Joe can pick only one stock and decides to invest in stock B.

Good Financial Decision?

Yes

No

2. Marcie works for an educational technology firm that recently launched its employee stock option plan (ESOP). Marcie allocated all her investments in the ESOP.

Good Financial Decision?

Yes

No

3. rin wants to invest in a hedge fund that has had a very strong performance track record. The hedge fund has given its investors a return of over 60% for the past five years. Although Erin is tempted to put her money in the fund, she decides to conduct due diligence on the hedge fund’s assets, because she is aware that past performance is no guarantee of future results.

Good Financial Decision?

Yes

No

Explanation:

1. Joe's decision to invest in stock B is a good financial decision.  Since both investments have the same returns, the decision on which investment to take shifts to the standard deviation of the returns, which specifies the variability of the returns.  Invariably, the investment with less standard deviation should win the vote.  Therefore, Joe's decision is a good financial decision because investment in B has a standard deviation of 9% unlike A's 12%.

2. Putting all eggs in one market as Marcie had done by allocating all her investments in the ESOP is not a good financial decision, theoretically.  It is always best to spread the risks, though higher-yielding investments (returns) bear higher risks.

3. The decision of Erin to conduct due diligence on the hedge fund's assets, despite its past performance is a good financial decision.  Due diligence reveals some behind-the-scene information that are instrumental in making sound business decisions.  Who are the present managers of the fund?  What systems are in place in the entity to guarantee similar future performance, all things being equal?  What market's sentiments and information are available for consideration?  These questions, and many others can be answered through a due diligence.  Surely, "past performance is no guarantee of future results."

A plant is proposing to install a combined heat and power system to supply electrical power and process steam. Power is currentl
Degger [83]

Answer:

Cumulative net present value of the project is:

= $33.5 million.

The discounted cash flow rate of return is:

= 26%

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

The capital cost of the combined heat and power system = $23 million

Expected net savings per year = $10 million

Project period = 10 years

Discount rate = 12%

Annuity PV factor for 10 years at 12% = 5.650

Total PV of the cash flows = $56.5 million (5.650 * $10 million)

NPV of the project = $33.5 million

Annualized NPV = $33.5 million/5.650

= $5,929,204

Discounted cash flow rate of return = Annualized NPV/Investment * 100

= $5,929,204/$23,000,000 * 100 = 26%

Deffense [45]

Answer:

$810,000

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

The increase in fixed cost is

= Salary of each sales representative × number of sales representatives hired

=  $45,000 × 18

= $810,000

Now the increase in sales needed for break even is

= Increase in fixed cost ÷ Contribution margin ratio

= $810,000 ÷ 30%

= $2,700,000

As we know that break even sales is computed by dividing the fixed cost by the contribution margin ratio and we applied the same

Furkat [3]

Answer:

Explanation:

Calculation to determine How many wafers does the cooling tube hold on average when in production

Using this formula

I = R x T

Where,

R = 112 wafers per second x 60

R = 6720 wafers per minute

T = 12 minutes

Let compute for I using the formula aboi

I = 6720 x 12

I = 80,640 wafers

Therefore How many wafers does the cooling tube hold on average when in production are 80,640 wafers
