Answer:
The Firm should not Buy and Install the press as it delivers a negative NPV of -$24,924 at 11% discount rate over its 4 year operations
Explanation:
The General rule is to appraise the investment based on various appraisal techniques.
A technique that should be considered must have special focus on the time value of money, the required rate of returns expected by the firm and other Cashflow considerations.
The Net Present Value (NPV) approach will be the best method to proceed with.
The NPV approach typically falls under the following decision tree:
a. If NPV is negative (Reject the proposal)
b. If NPV is positive (Accept if it's a singular project, Accept the highest positive NPV if it's for mutually exclusive Projects)
c. If Zero (this is the breakeven line at which the Project covers all its cost but does not return a profit.) Also referred to as the IRR

Answer: OPTION D
Explanation: Sustainable development means consuming natural resources in such a way that the needs of today gets fulfilled without hindering the needs of future generations .

Note:
Statement a. about production budget is correct as the production budget only estimates number of units to be produced, in quantity and not in dollars and therefore is not converted into dollars.

Statement d. about labor budget is correct, as in this budget an average rate is used for calculating the expenses.
Therefore all of the above is correct.
Answer:
Explanation:
D0 = $1.88
D1 = 1.88*1.25 = $2.35
D2 = 2.35*1.25 = $2.94
D3 = 2.94*1.25 = $3.67
PV of Dividends:
r = 12%
1/(1.12) = 0.89
PV of D1 = 2.35/0.89 = $2.64
PV of D2 = 2.94/0.797 = $3.69
PV of D3 = 3.67/0.71 = $5.17
Total PV = $11.5
Value after year 3:
(D3*Growth rate)/(Required rate - growth rate) = $3.67*1.06/(0.12-0.06) = $64.8
Pv of 64.8 is 64.8/(1.12)^3 = $46.3
So, the maximum price per share is 11.5+46.3 = $57.8
