Assume you have two projects with different lives. Project A is expected to generate present value cash flows of $5.2 million an

Alex787 [66]

Answer:

$1,033,190.69 ; better

Explanation:

Given:

Present value of cash flow of Project A (PV) = $5,200,000

Maturity (nper) = 7 years

Required return (rate) = 9%

Annual annuity (pmt) can be computed using spreadsheet function =pmt(rate,nper,PV,FV). Substituting the values, we get,

=pmt(0.09, 7, -5200000)

=$1,033,190.69

FV is 0. Present value is negative as it's cash outflow.

Annual annuity of Project A is $1,033,190.69

Project B:

Given:

Present value of cash flow of Project A (PV) = $3,800,000

Maturity (nper) = 5 years

Required return (rate) = 9%

Annual annuity (pmt) can be computed using spreadsheet function =pmt(rate,nper,PV,FV). Substituting the values, we get,

=pmt(0.09, 5, -3800000)

=$976,951.34

FV is 0. Present value is negative as it's cash outflow.

Annual annuity of Project B is $976,951.34

Annual annuity of Project is more than that of Project B, So Project A is better than Project B.

Answer: C. grant Mary the legal rights for the property.

Explanation:

Agents are not to use the knowledge that their principal paid them to acquire or that they acquired for the use of their principal for themselves.

If Mary bought a property knowing that Karen wanted to buy that property, the Court will award the title to Karen because Mary has violated her duty not to use knowledge of information intended for her principal for her own benefit.

Cost of Debt KatyDid Clothes has a $150 million (face value) 30-year bond issue selling for 104 percent of par that carries a co

Ivahew [28]

Answer:

the annual pre-tax cost of debt is 10.56%

Explanation:

the beore-tax component cost of debt will be the actual market rate of the bonds, as they offer an interest rate of 11% but are selling at 104 points not at par thus, there is a difference between the rates.

We solve for the rate which makes the coupon and maturity 104

with excel or a financial calculator

PV of the coupon payment

$C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\$

C 5.500 (100 x 11%/2)

time 60 (30 years x 2 payment per year)

rate 0.052787474

$5.5 \times \frac{1-(1+0.0527874736258532)^{-60} }{0.0527874736258532} = PV\\$

PV $99.4338

PV of the maturity

$\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV$

Maturity 100.00

time 60.00

rate 0.052787474

$\frac{100}{(1 + 0.0527874736258532)^{60} } = PV$

PV 4.57

Adding both we should get 104 which is the amount the bonds is selling:

PV coupon $99.4338 + PV maturity $4.5662 = $104.0000

The rate is generated using goal seek or wiht a financial calculator.

This rate is a semiannual rate, so we multiply by 2 to get the annual cost of debt:

0.052787474 x 2 = 0.105574947

The cost of debt for the firm is 10.56%
