Answer:

<u>13.2%</u>

Explanation:

As per Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM),

Expected Rate Of Return = R_{f}  \ +\ B(R_{m} \ -\ R_{f} )

wherein, R_{f} = Risk free rate of return on treasury bonds

               B= Beta , which represents the degree of sensitivity of security return to the market return.

               R_{m} = Return on market portfolio

Thus, Expected rate of return of security X = 6 + 1.2(12 - 6)

                                                                        = 13.2%

CAPM model is used for calculating expected rate of return. As per the model, the investors expect a risk premium represented by excess of rate of return of market portfolio over risk free rate , in addition for the risk free rate of return.

The risk premium serves as a compensation for investing in risky securities instead of risk free securities.

Assume a company has a cost of capital that is greater than zero and has cash flows related to the changes in net working capita
Otrada [13]

Answer:

A. Decrease

Explanation:

In investment appraisal with the method of Net Present Value, the bone of contention and the central matter is the TIME VALUE OF MONEY.

In the above scenario, the initial working capital was 100% released in proportions of 40%, 40% and 20%, throughout the 3 years of the project. However, if the reverse had been the case, i.e. parting with more cash now and the requirement of working capital now becomes: Year 0 = -10,000, Year 1 = - 10,000, Year 2 = -10,000, Year 3 = +30,000; the NPV would definitely shrink because the value of 10,000 each in Years 0-2 would not be the same when it is recovered from the project in year 3. The value will be smaller and hence the NPV of the project would have decreased as a result of the time value of money.

photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

The answer is C.

Explanation:

Credit sales is $6,000

Bad debt is 3% of net credit sales which is $180($6,000 x3%)

Creating allowance for doubtful debt entry is one of the prudent method and it tells us that some customers won't pay part of what they are owing. And it is also a contra account that offset bad debt.

According to the accounting rule, debit increases asset and expenses and vice-versa while credit decreases liability, equity, income and vice versa.

So we have have:

Dr Bad debt expense $180

lesya [120]

Answer:

NPV =  $20,040.35  

Explanation

The net present value NPV) of a project is the present value of cash inflow less the present value of cash outflow of the project.

NPV = PV of cash inflow - PV of cash outflow

We can set out the cash flows of the project using the table below:

Annual net cash inflow = Savings - Technician cost = 61,427- 20,000

                                       = $41,427

PV of Cash flow= $41,427  × (1-(1.12^(-5))/0.12=  149,335.06  

PV of salvage value = 1.12^(-5)×$6,641 =  3768.281749

NPV = 149,335.06  + 3,768.281  -133,063= 20,040.35
