Answer:

The answer is 6.95%

Explanation:

We are looking for Yield-to-maturity (YTM). YTM can also be called rate of return or discount rate.

Note: The 15 -year bond was bought 2 years ago, meaning it remains 13 years

N(Number of periods) = 26 years ( 13years x 2)

I/Y(Yield to maturity) = ?

PV(present value or market price) = $103

PMT( coupon payment) = $3.65( [(7.3percent ÷ 2)x $100)]

FV( Future value or par value) = $100

We are using a Financial calculator for this.

N= 26; PMT = 3.65; FV= $100; CPT PV= -103, CPT I/Y

I/Y = 3.47.

3.47% is for semiannual rate

Therefore, annual rate is 6.95% (3.47% x 2)

A machine costs $600000 and is expected to yield an after tax net income of $23000 each year. Managment predicts this machine ha
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

6.39%

Explanation:

The cost of the machine is $600,000

The net income is $23,000

The management predict a that it has a 10 years service life

The salvage value is $120,000

The first step is to calculate the average investment

Average investment= (Cost of machine+Salvage value)/2

= $600,000+$120,000/2

= $720,000/2

= $360,000

Therefore, the accounting rate of return can be calculated as follows

= Annual net income/Average investment

= $23,000/$360,000

= 0.0639×100

= 6.39%

Hence the accounting rate of return is 6.39%

Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

E) Social commerce site

Explanation:

As the name implies, a social commerce site like Groupon.com is a business that combines aspects of social media with commerce. The social media aspect is meant to be collaborative in the sense that people interact with each other in order to increase the sales of the business.

In this scenario, people collaborate with each other by reaching a certain treshold that allows them to get a benefit, the discount. The treshold is the minimum number of people that have to purchase the product for the discount to become effective.

This strategy benefits both Groupon.com with more sales revenue, and benefits customers because they get a discount, and take part in a social activity.

1. The calculated capital budgeting techniques yielded the following results:

A. Accounting Rate of Return (AROR) is <u>28%</u>.

B. Payback Period Technique (PBP) is <u>5 years</u>.

C. Net Present Value Technique (NPV) is <u>RM33,588</u>.

D. Profitability Index (PI) is <u>1.056</u>.

2. The project should be accepted based on the positive results above.

3. The importance of capital budgeting techniques lies in the fact that they aid capital decision-making by measuring their probable outcomes.

<h3>What are capital budgeting techniques?</h3>

Capital budgeting techniques are capital investment evaluation tools.

Some of the capital budget tools include the Payback Period, Discounted Payment Period, Net Present Value, Profitability Index, Internal Rate of Return, and Modified Internal Rate of Return.

These capital budgeting techniques help management to evaluate capital projects and to choose investment strategies.

<h3>Data and Calculations:</h3>

Investment cost = RM600,000

Cost of capital = 12%

            Net Cash Flows      PV Factor     Present Value

Year 0     RM600,000               1              (RM600,000)

Year 1       RM100,000           0.893                  89,300

Year 2            110,000            0.797                  87,670

Year 3            121,000            0.712                   86,152

Year 4            133,100            0.636                 84,652

Year 5            146,410            0.567                  83,014

Year 6    RM400,000            0.507              202,800

Present value of cash flows =                 RM633,588

Net Present Value                                      RM33,588

Total Net Cash Flows = RM1,010,510

Average Net Cash flows = RM168,418 (RM1,010,510/6)

Accounting Rate of Return = Average Income/Initial Cost

= 28% (RM168,418/RM600,000 x 100)

Payback period = 5 years

NPV = Initial Investment - PV of net cash flows

= RM33,588

Profitability Index = Present value of cash flows/Initial Cost

= 1.056 (RM633,588/RM600,000)

Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

1. In option (a), the dealer would charge $18,213.54.

b. In present value terms, the one-time payment (option (b) is a better deal for the purchaser.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Monthly payment for a used car = $620

Payment period = 20 months

Additional payment at the end of 20 months = $12,000

Annual interest rate = 24%

One-time payment for the car purchase = $16,864

From an online financial calculator, the present value of the payments is:

N (# of periods)  20

I/Y (Interest per year)  24

PMT (Periodic Payment)  620

FV (Future Value)  12000

Results

PV = $18,213.54

Sum of all periodic payments = $12,400.00

Total Interest = $6,186.46
