Answer:

1. NPV calculation

Option 1 ( with Greewood fertilizer) : $2.256

Option 2 ( with Peter's Fertilizer) : $3.835

2. Rate of return calculation:

Option 1: 45.12%

Option 2: 95.875%

Option 2 should be chosen as it provides higher NPV.

Explanation:

1. The detailed calculation for each option is:

Option 1: Present value of sales proceed - initial cost = (8/1.05^2) - 5 = $2.256

Option 2: Present value of sales proceed - initial cost = (10/1.05^5) - 4 = $3.835.

2. The detailed calculation for each option is:

Option 1: NPV/Initial cost = 2.256/5= 45.12%

Option 2: NPV/Initial cost =3.835/10 = 95.875%

To assess which option should be picked with the assumption of infinite time horizon, NPV should be key driver. As Option 2 has higher NPV, Option 2 is chosen.

When paying your bills, it is most financially beneficial to make larger payments to:___________.
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

to those outstanding payments which have highest interest rates.

If we pay and settle more outstanding bills now which have high interest rates it will save us from interest which will be charged in future for delayed payment as it will by multiplied by number of days or months for which it has been delayed.

Thus

Number of days payment receives = 365/ Accounts receivable turnover ratio =365 days/17.76 times

=20.55 days

Therefore The company takes 20.55 days to get payment for its services

mylen [45]

Answer:

54.48%

Total Equity

= 3 million shares × $30

= $90 million

The Value of Debt,

Total Debt = 80,000 (1,000)(0.94)

= $75.2 million

Now the weight of equity is

= $90 million ÷ ($90 million + $75.2 million)

= 54.48%
