Question
you are a consultant to a firm evaluating an expansion of its current business. The cash flow forecasts (in millions of dollar) for the project as follows:
Year cashflow
0 -100
1-10 15
0n the basis of the behavior of the firm's stock, you believe that the beta of the firm is 1.30. Assuming that the rate of return available on risk-free investments is 5% and that the expected rate of return on the market portfolio is 15% what is the net present value of the project
Answer:
NPV= -$32.58
Explanation:
The net present value of the investment is the cash inflow from the investment discounted at required rate of return. The required rate of return can be determined using the the formula below:
Ke= Rf +β(Rm-Rf)
Ke =? , Rf- 5%,, Rm-15%, β- 1.30
Ke=5% + 1.30× (15-5)= 18%
The NPV = Present value of cash inflow - initial cost
= A×(1-(1+r)^(-10)/r - initial cost
A- 15, r-18%
NPV = 15× (1-1.18^(-10)/0.18 - 100= -32.58
NPV = -$32.58
I believe it's the marketing mix?
Answer:
Imports create greater competition in the domestic marketplace.
Explanation:
Comparative advantage is defined as the ability of a company to produce goods at a lower opportunity cost than other competitors. They can now sell the goods at lower prices.
If the company in this scenario have competitive advantage in producing electronics then it is xheap for them to produce.
When they export electronics and import again, it can only mean that the imported electronics have a competitive edge that the company wants to take advantage of. For example higher quality than what is available locally.
