Suppose you are evaluating two mutually exclusive projects, A and B. Project A costs $350 and has cash flows of $250 and $250 in
ki77a [65]

Answer:

The answer is 30%

Explanation:

Solution

Given that:

Project A

Project A costs = $350

Cash flows =$250 and $250 (next 2 years)

Project B

Project B costs =$300

Cash flow = $300 and  $100

Now what is the crossover rate for these projects.

Thus

Year Project A    Project B A-B        B-A

0            -350     -300        -50        50

1             250      300        -50        50

2             250      100         150       -150

IRR         27%      26%         30%      30%

So,

CF = CF1/(1+r)^1 + CF2/(1+r)^2

$-50 = $-50/(1+r)^1 + $150/(1+r)^2

r = 30%

CF = CF1/(1+r)^1 + CF2/(1+r)^2

$50 = $50/(1+r)^1 + $-150/(1+r)^2

r = 30%

Hence, the cross over rate for these project is 30%

Note:

IRR =Internal rate of return

CF =Cash flow

r = rate

Carlos Company had beginning inventory of $80,000, ending inventory of $110,000, cost of goods sold of $285,000, and sales reven
DerKrebs [107]

121.67 days

Days in inventory is a measure of the average number of days that inventory is held.

365 days / ($285,000 / (80000+110,000)/2))

365 / (285,000 / {190,000/2})

365/ (285000/95000)

365/3 = 121.67 (rounded)

Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

a. 2017 ⇒ 1.50

   2016 ⇒1.58

b. Deteriorate

Explanation:

a. Current ratio 2017

= Current Assets / Current liabilities

= 6,708,700 / 4,470,000

= 1.50

Current ratio 2016

= 5,848,000 / 3,700,000

= 1.58

b. The current ratio went from 1.58 in 2016 to 1.50 in 2017 which would mean that it deteriorated.

Suppose Ford Motor Company issues a five year bond with a face value of $5,000 that pays an annual coupon payment of $150.
blondinia [14]

Answer:

interest rate =  15%

value of the bond will decrease

Explanation:

given data

face value = $5,000

time = 5 year

annual coupon payment = $150

solution

we get here interest rate on the borrowed funds that will be as

interest rate = \frac{annual\ coupon}{face\ value/time}  × 100

put here value we get

interest rate =  \frac{150}{\frac{5000}{5} }  × 100

interest rate =  15%

and

when bond issued at interest rate =  3 %

but market interest rate 4%

so seller will reduce price of bond less than the face value

because we will look for atleast 4% payout when bond matures

so value of the bond will decrease

How can gross interest income rise while the net interest margin remains somewhat stable for a particular bank?
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

A bank acts like an intermediary between depositors and creditors. If the market interest rates increase, gross interest income will rise, but all gross interest expense. They will charge higher rates to borrowers, but also must pay higher rates to depositors. The spread probably remains unchanged because both sides increased.
