Answer:
a. 1.096
Explanation:
The present value index is the same as the profitablility index(PI), which is computed by dividing the present value of future cash inflows by the initial investment(the present value of cash outflows). A profitability of above 1 means that the project is viable as the numerator(PV of cash inflows) exceeds the denominator( initial cash outlay).
Project A PI index= Present value of cash inflows/Present value of cash outflows
Project A PI index= $84,360/$77,000
Project A PI index= 1.096
Business firms that sell to retailers and other merchants, and/or to industrial, institutional, and commercial users-but which do not sell in large amounts to final consumers-are called wholesalers. These are businesses that would purchase product in very large amounts and sells them to other businesses or the retailers at a lower price whose target customers are the consumers.
#8 is C. Unfortunately I do not know #9.
Answer:
Payback Period = 4 Years
Net Present value = $15692
Internal Rate of Return = 17.82%
Modified Internal Rate of Return = 14.20%
Explanation:
Payback Period = (Initial Investment / Net Cash inflows)
Payback Period = $61500/15000 = 4 Years
Net Present value using PVIF table value at 11% over the period and discount them given cash flows gives us discounted cash flows.
Year CF PVIF 11%,n Discounted CF
0 -61500 1.000 (61,500)
1 15000 0.901 13,514
2 15000 0.812 12,174
3 15000 0.731 10,968
4 15000 0.659 9,881
5 15000 0.593 8,902
6 15000 0.535 8,020
7 15000 0.482 7,225
8 15000 0.434 6,509
Summing up the discounted Cash flows gives us the Net Present value of $15692
Internal Rate of Return:
Using Excel Function IRR @ 17.82% applying it on cash flows gives the rate where Present value of Cash flows is Zero.
Modified Internal Rate of Return:
Modified internal rate of return is at the level of 14.20% as it lower than IRR because it assume positive cash flows invested at cost of capital.
