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

Answer:
The three scenarios describe a competitive market.
Explanation:
1) In the competitive market buyers and sellers are price takers, this means that there are many producers and consumers and none of them are able to intervene in price and market. Price is given, ie price is determined by interaction in the market. 2) The products are identical. That is, no company will make a profit due to differentiated products. In perfect competition, companies produce identical products, and the consumer is indifferent to the product characteristics of each company. 3) There is free entry and exit of companies and factors of production, ie there is no cost to enter and exit any sector. This means that factors can migrate from one sector to another without incurring costs, meaning there are no barriers to entry and exit from any sector.
Thus, from items 1 and 2, consumers and buyers are price takers, that is, they cannot influence the price determined by the market. Item 3 is about achieving zero profit or normal long-term profit. This is because the free entry and exit of companies avoids extraordinary profits by encouraging companies to migrate to sectors that earn higher profits in the short term. Thus, in perfect competition, compa
Answer:
payback 2.5 years
Explanation:
the payback will be the point in time at which the project cash flow equal the invesmtent.
This method do not consider the time value of money so we don't have to adjust any period cashflow or outflow.
investment: 5,000
increase in cash-flow 2,000
Investment/cash flow = 5,000 / 2,000 = 2.5 years
The depreciation are not considered as this are not cash flow.
<em>Answer:</em>
1-Likelihood
2- Outcome

<u>1-Likelihood
:</u> It is a mechanism for measuring the level of risk in the matrix model. A risk assessment is effective for risk prevention and guidance for decision making.
