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.
There are a couple of methods that First National Bank can use in order to compete with other banks in south Africa, such as :
- Increasing their interest rates for saving to gain more mass deposits from the mass
- By creating a couple of regulations that could invite more capital to the bank (such as giving a car if you deposit an xxxxx amount within 1 year)
- Expanding their subsidiaries not only in South Africa, but also to neighborhood countries to increase the net income
Answer:
The slope of the CML = (13% - 7%)/25% = 0.24
Explanation:
Given that:
expected rate of return of 17%
standard deviation of 27%.
The T-bill rate is 7%.
You estimate that a passive portfolio invested to mimic the S&P 500 stock index yields an expected rate of return of 13% with a standard deviation of 25%.
The slope of the CML is
Slope of the CML = (Expected return of Market - Risk free return)/Standard deviation of market
The slope of the CML = (13% - 7%)/25% = 0.24
= (0.13 - 0.07) /0.25
= 0.24
Answer:
