Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

Steve Jobs coming back, Innovations, and Tim Cook taking over as COO

Explanation:

The fluctuations in stock prices of a company are due to improved performance of the company in meeting it's objectives and perception that the business will do better in the future.

In the given scenario there was an initial increase in Apple’s stock price from $27.97 to $702.10, an increase of 25 times.

This can be attributed to the return of Steve Jobs as the CEO of Apple. There was a confidence boost by his coming back. Also there were various innovations like: iPhone, iMac, iPod, and iTunes. These improved the performance and by extension share price of Apple.

However when Tim Cook took over as COO he reduced production by half resulting in stock price decrease by 37% from its peak in September 2012 until the end of March 2013, from $702.10 to $442.66.

goblinko [34]

Answer:

Project A Project B

Initial investments ($170,000) ($115,000)

CF Year 1 $42,500 $34,500

CF Year 2 $58,500 $52,500

CF Year 3 $82,795 $68,500

CF Year 4 $92,900 $68,500

CF Year 5 $67,500 $68,500

using an excel spreadsheet and the IRR function, the internal rate of return of each project is:

Project A's IRR = 26.02%
Project B's IRR = 36.31%

We can use the discount rate (12%) to calculate the projects' NPV, we do not need it to calculate their IRR:

Project A's NPV = $70,855
Project B's NPV = $88,815

Jacques deposited $1,900 into an account that earns 4% interest compounded semiannually. After t years, Jacques has $3,875.79 in

kupik [55]

A year has two semesters, then
n = 2v(t)=p(1+r/2)2t

3875.79 = 1900∗(1+(0.04/2))^2t

2.0398895 = (1+0.042)^2t
Apply natural logarithm on both sides

ln(2.0398895) = ln[(1+0.042)^2t]

Then simplify,
0.712896 = 2t∗ln(1.02)

t = 0.712896 / (2∗ln(1.02))

t=18 years

I hope my answer helped you. Have a nice day!
