Answer: a. Railroad loading

Explanation:

This question relates to the BCG matrix which allows a company with multiple divisions to know how to deal with its various divisions based on their growth rate and market share.

The question specifically relates to a matrix called "Cash cows". Cash cows are divisions that have a significant market share but a low growth rate. These divisions are stable and bring more money into the company than they cost to run.

This allows us to take profits from them and invest in other. The Railroad loading controls a significant market share of 75% but has a low growth rate so is a Cash cow.

Answer:

c. 1.14

Explanation:

Year Cash Flow PV Factor 10% PV of Cash flows

($) ($)

Year 1 180,000 0.909 163,620

Year 2 120,000 0.826 99,120

Year 3 100,000 0.751 75,100

Year 4 90,000 0.683 61,470

Year 5 90,000 0.621 55,890

Total = 455,200

Initial cash outflow = $400,000

Cash inflow = $455,200

So, we can calculate the present value index by using following formula,

Present value index = Cash inflow ÷ Cash outflow

= $455,200 ÷ $400,000

= 1.14

murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

d. 5.08%

Explanation:

We have to first calculate the YTM of the bond, and then apply the tax shield.

To get the YTM we have to calculate the rate of return of an annuity of 46.25 for 20 years compounding semiannually at IRR rate and the present value of the face value redeem in 20 years.

$C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} +Face\:Value/(1+rate)^{time}= PV\\$

$46.25 \times \frac{1-(1+IRR/2)^{-20*2} }{rate} + 1000/(1+IRR)^{20}= 1075\\$

IRR = 0.084656891 (it should be done using financial calculator or excel or a similar software program)

then we apply the shield tax to the IRR:

IRR x (1 - tax-rate) = Cost of debt

0.084656891 * ( 1 - 0.4) = 5.0794= 5.08
