Answer:

Cost of Equity =11.56%

Explanation:

The cost of equity can be determined using any of the following methods:

  1. The Dividend Valuation Model(DVM)
  2. Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM)

The Dividend Valuation Model(DVM) is a technique used to value the worth of an asset.

According to this model, the value of an asset is the sum of the present values of the future cash flows would that arise from the asset discounted at the required rate of return.  

Price = D/Kp

D- Dividend payable

Kp- cost of preferred stock

The capital asset pricing model (CAPM): relates the price of a share to the market risk or systematic risk. The systematic risk is that which affects all the all the economic agents, e.g inflation, interest rate e.t.c  

This CAPM is considered superior to DVM because it incorporates risk. Hence, we will use the CAPM  

Using the CAPM , the expected return on a asset is given as follows:  

E(r)= Rf +β(Rm-Rf)  

E(r) =? , Rf- 2.90%, Rm-Rf- 7.10% β- 1.22

E(r) = 2.90% + 1.22×(7.10)% = 11.562  %

Cost of Equity =11.56%

Sati [7]

Answer:

A rational decision

Explanation:

Marginal decision involves using more than or less than what you have by comparing the cost and benefits. Marginal cost is the additional cost as a result of making a different decision while the marginal benefit is the additional benefit as a result of making a different choice.  A rational decision is a decision in which the marginal benefits as a result of taking that decision is greater or equal to the marginal cost of that decision.

Precision Aviation had a profit margin of 7.00%, a total assets turnover of 1.4, and an equity multiplier of 1.8. What was the f
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

17.64%

Explanation:

Precision aviation has a profit margin of 7%

The total assets turnover is 1.4

The equity multiplier is 1.8

Therefore the ROE can be calculated as follows

= Total assets turnover × equity multiplier × profit margin

= 1.4 × 1.8 × 7

= 17.64%

Hence the ROE is 17.64%

Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

1. Net present value of Project A = -41,449.96

2. Net present value of Project B = $143,746.85

3. I would recommend that company accept Project B.

Explanation:

Note: This question is not complete as the requirement are omitted. The requirements are therefore provided to complete the question before answering it as follows:

Perit Industries has $135,000 to invest. The company is trying to decide between two alternative uses of the funds. The alternatives are:

                                                                       Project A           Project B

Cost of equipment required                         $ 135,000                $ 0

Working capital investment required                 $ 0               $ 135,000

Annual cash inflows                                       $ 25,000           $ 63,000

Salvage value of equipment in six years        $ 9,800                $ 0

Life of the project 6 years 6 years

The working capital needed for project B will be released at the end of six years for investment elsewhere. Perit Industries’ discount rate is 17%.

Required:

1. Compute the net present value of Project A. (Enter negative values with a minus sign. Round your final answer to the nearest whole dollar amount.)

2. Compute the net present value of Project B. (Enter negative values with a minus sign. Round your final answer to the nearest whole dollar amount.)

3. Which investment alternative (if either) would you recommend that the company accept?

The explanation of the answers is now provided as follows:

1. Compute the net present value of Project A. (Enter negative values with a minus sign. Round your final answer to the nearest whole dollar amount.)

Cost of equipment required = $135,000

Using the formula for calculating the present value of an ordinary annuity, the present value (PV) of the annual cash inflows can be calculated as follows:

PV of annual cash inflow = Annual cash inflow * (1 - (1 / (1 + discount rate))^Project life) / discount rate) = $25,000 * ((1 - (1 / (1 + 0.17))^6) / 0.17) = $89,729.62

The present value (PV) of the salvage value can be calculated as follows:

PV of salvage value = Salvage value / (1 + + discount rate)^Project life = $9,800 / (1 + 0.17)^6 = $3,820.42

Net present value of Project A = PV of annual cash inflow + PV of salvage value - Cost of equipment required = $89,729.62 + $3,820.42 - $135,000 = -41,449.96

2. Compute the net present value of Project B. (Enter negative values with a minus sign. Round your final answer to the nearest whole dollar amount.)

Working capital investment required = $135,000

Using the formula for calculating the present value of an ordinary annuity, the present value (PV) of the annual cash inflows can be calculated as follows:

PV of annual cash inflow = Annual cash inflow * (1 - (1 / (1 + discount rate))^Project life) / discount rate) = $63,000 * ((1 - (1 / (1 + 0.17))^6) / 0.17) = $226,118.64

The present value (PV) of the Working capital investment required can be calculated as follows:

PV of Working capital investment required = Working capital investment required / (1 + + discount rate)^Project life = $135,000 / (1 + 0.17)^6 = $52,628.21

Net present value of Project B = PV of annual cash inflow + PV of Working capital investment required - Working capital investment required = = $226,118.64 + $52,628.21 - $135,000 = $143,746.85

3. Which investment alternative (if either) would you recommend that the company accept?

From parts 1 and 2 above, we have:

Net present value of Project A = -41,449.96

Net present value of Project B = $143,746.85

Since the Net present value of Project A is negative, it should be rejected.

Since the Net present value of Project B is positive, it should be accepted.

Therefore, I would recommend that company accept Project B.

During the current year, merchandise is sold for $137,500 cash and $425,600 on account. the cost of the merchandise sold is $322
LenKa [72]

The gross sales margin equals 42.76%

The formula to calculate the Gross Sales Margin is (Revenue - Cost of Goods Sold) / Revenue

Revenue = $137,500 + $425,600 = $563,100

($563,100 - 322,325) / 563,100 =

240,775 / 563,100 = 42.76%

Answer:

D. The IRR is about 22.80%

Explanation:

If we use excel instead of trial and error method, it is easy to determine the Internal rate of return. As there is no cost of capital, it is challenging to determine IRR through the trial and error method.

The following image shows the IRR of this project is 22.80%.
