Answer:

BD Corporation should not purchase the new computers

Explanation:

initial outlay year 0 = -$300,000

increased productivity per year = $75,000 for years 1-5

discount rate = 8%

NPV = -$300,000 + $75,000/1.08 + $75,000/1.08² + $75,000/1.08³ + $75,000/1.08⁴ + $75,000/1.08⁵ = -$300,000 + $69,444.44 + $64,300.41 + $59,537.42 + $55,127.24 + $51,043.74 = -$300,000 + 299,453.25 = -$546.75

since NPV is negative, then the project should be rejected

we can also use an annuity factor to determine the present value of this annuity, PV = $75,000 x 3.9927 = $299,452.50

NPV = -$300,000 + $299,452.50 = -$547.50

Arisa [49]

Answer:

b. cannot be more competitive than a MNC on its home turf even if it has superior knowledge of the local market.

Explanation:

In the given scenario a company that sources its products, sells its products, and raises its funds domestically will most likely have more competitive advantage than a multinational corporation.

This is due to the fact that it has superior knowledge of the local market.

MNCs will have a hard time adapting to the local market to compete effectively with the local companies.

However local businesses and MNCs will face common challenges like country risk and exchange rate risk.

Because MNCs have ability to source its products in one country, sell them in several countries, and raise its funds in a third country they will provide a stiff competition

Vesnalui [34]
I would say false. the par value is not necessarily the amount that the investor must pay in order to purchase the preferred stock. the par value is known to be the market price of the stock however, investors may offer the stock above or below the par value depending on the decision of the board
