Answer: 13.53%
Explanation:
The expected return on the portfolio will be calculated by multiplying the investment in each stock by the expected return of the stocks. This will be:
= (31% × 11%) + (46% × 14%) + (23% ×16%)
= 3.41% + 6.44% + 3.68%
= 13.53%
Answer:
(a) It will have multiple IRRs
(b) The MIRR calculated is 10.18% . Going by MIRR result , this project will only generate returns that is equal to cost of capital(10%) .If there are other avaible more viable projects, it should be rejected ( Please see attached computation).
Explanation:
(a) The multiple IRRs occurs when cash flows change sign and result in more than one value for the IRR.
Application of IRR to value an investment is only suitable when the project has normal cash flows, i.e a negative initial cash flow (i.e initial investment) followed by a series of positive cash flows.
In this scenario, we have negative cash flow of $6m in year 4 which occured after positive cash flow of $3.5m per year from year 1 to 3. This typically make IRR unreliable. To overcome this limitation , we can use Modified Internal Rate of Return (MIRR)
(b) Please see attached for more details.
Answer:
10%
Explanation:
Cost of kiosk last year = $750
Cost of kiosk this year = $825
Percentage increase = $825-$750 / $750 * 100
Percentage increase = $75 / $750 * 100
Percentage increase = 10%
So the percentage increase in the cost of rent is 10%.
Answer:
Purchases= $252,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Sales= $400,000
Cost of goods sold equal to 65 percent of sales.
Beginning inventory= $80,000
Ending inventory= $72,000
To calculate the purchase required, we need to use the following formula:
Purchases= sales + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory
Purchases= (400,000*0.65) + 72,000 - 80,000
Purchases= $252,000
