You are bullish on Telecom stock. The current market price is $100 per share, and you have $15,000 of your own to invest. You bo
likoan [24]

Answer:

10%

Explanation:

Value of investment in the beginning = $30,000

Value of investment at the end = $30,000 (1 + 0.08)

                                                    = $30,000 × 1.08

                                                    = $32,400

Interest paid = $15,000 × 6%

                     = $900

Rate of return:

=\frac{Value\ at\ the\ end-Value\ in\ beginning-Interest}{Total\ amount-Borrowed\ amount}\times100

=\frac{32,400-30,000-900}{30,000-15,000}\times 100

=\frac{1,500}{15,000}\times 100

      = 10%

Rate of return is 10% if the price of Telecom stock goes up by 8% during the next year.

guapka [62]

Answer: The Japanese companies invest in Brazil in order to cut cost.

Explanation:

Since Brazil is one of the world's lowest-cost producers of ethanol and soybeans. Japanese corporations investing heavily in Brazil to lease large tracts of land to grow soybeans for export to Japan, are doing this in order to minimize their cost.

Growing soyabeans in Brazil is cheaper since there's a lower cost of producing it when compared to the higher cost of producing it in Japan. This in turn, helps the Japanese companies reduce their cost as the cost of factor Input is reduced and also the Japanese companies can make more profit.

Toy Town is considering a new toy that will cost $49,100 in startup costs. The toy is expected to produce cash flows of $47,500
Tasya [4]

Answer:

NPV with a 14.9% discount rate: 6,329.06

The toy should be produced as the NPV is positive.

IRR = 26.65%

Explanation:

First we calculate for the NPV using the given discount rate of 14.9%

We will calculate the present value of each year cash inflow:

\frac{inflow}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV  

Year 1 cash inflow: 47,500.00

time   1.00

rate  0.149

\frac{47500}{(1 + 0.149)^{1} } = PV  

PV   41,340.30

Year 2 cash inflow:  18,600.00

time   2.00

rate  0.149

\frac{18600}{(1 + 0.149)^{2} } = PV  

PV   14,088.76

Then, we add them and subtract the investment to get NPV

NPV = 14,088.76 + 41,340.3 - 49,100 = 6,329.06

The toy should be produced as the NPV is positive.

Now for the IRR

That is the rate at which NPV equals zero we can solve for this using the quadratic equation as there are only two cash flow:

Year 1 will discount at (1+IRR)

Year 2 will be discount at (1+IRR )^2

So we can express and recreate the quadratic formula:

18,600 X^2 + 47,500 X - 49,500 = 0

A = 18,600

B = 47,500

C = -49,100

x_1 = \frac{-b+\sqrt{b^{2} -4ac}}{2a}\\x_2 = \frac{-b -\sqrt{b^{2} -4ac}}{2a}

We can solve and get:

x1 =  0.78957

x2 = -3.3433

We take the positive value.

and now solve for IRR

\frac{1}{1+ IRR} = 0.78957\\IRR = \frac{1}{0.78957} -1

IRR = 0,2665121 = 26.65%

This will be the IRR for the project.
