Answer:

Geometric Average return = 7.83%

Explanation:

First we need to find the missing value of data using Arithmetic mean formula

Arithmetic Mean = Sum of value / No of values

8.8% = Sum of Values / 4

Sum of Values = 8.8% x 4

Sum Values = 35.2%

Using Sum of Values we minus the remaining values in order to get the missing value of the data.

35.20% - 16.3% - 10.2%-(14.1%) = 22.80%

In order to get Geometric mean value we use geometric mean formula

G.M = 4 Sqrt(16.3% x 10.2% x -14.1% + 22.80%)

Geometric Mean = 7.83%

lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

A. NPV for A= $61,658.06

NPV  for B = $25,006.15

B.  1.36

1.17

Project A

Explanation:

Net present value is the present value of after tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.

NPV can be calcuated using a financial calculator

for project A :

Cash flow in

Year 0 = $(172,325)

Year 1 41,000

Year 2 47,000

Year 3 85,295

Year 4 86,400

Year 5 56,000

I = 10%

NPV = $61,658.06

for project B

year 0 = $ (145,960)

Cash flow in

Year 1  27,000

Year 2  52,000

Year 3 50,000  

Year 4 71,000

Year 5  28,000

I = 10%

NPV = $25,006.15

profitability index = 1 + NPV / Initial investment

for project A, PI = $61,658.06 / 172,325 = 1.36

For project B, PI = $25,006.15 / 145,960 = 1.17

The project with the greater NPV and PI should be chosen. this is project A.

To find the NPV using a financial calculator:

1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

2. after inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.  

3. Press compute

How is the principle of open opportunity different from guaranteeing success to everyone in the marketplace?
sesenic [268]
The principle of open opportunity in the marketplace means that anyone who wants to put up a business is welcome to do so. However, the success of his business rests entirely on how well it is received in the market.

Guaranteeing success to everyone in the marketplace is impossible. Competition is always present. Demand and supply can be affected by factors beyond human control.

Nataliya [291]

Answer:

YTM is 4.94%

Explanation:

The  yield  to maturity is the return on the bond throughout the bond's tenure and can be computed using rate function in excel as shown below.

=rate(nper,pmt,-pv,fv)

nper is the number of coupons the bond has left to pay(23 years*2)

pmt is the semiannual coupon of the bond=$1000*5.3%*6/12=26.5

pv is the curren price=$1000*105%=$1050

fv is the face value of the bond

=rate(46,26.5,-1050,1000)=2.47%

2.47% is the semiannual yield

annual yield=2.47% *2=4.94%
