your firm is contemplating the purchase of a new $545,000 computer-based order entry system. the system will be depreciated stra

liberstina [14]

The IRR of the new computer-based order entry system is 22.87%.

<h3>What is the IRR?</h3>

Internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after-tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested

The cash flow at the beginning of the period = purchase price of the system - reduction in working capital

$545,000 - $96,000 = $449,000

Depreciation expense = (cost of the asset - salvage value) / useful life

($545,000 - 0) / 5 = $109,000

Cash flow each year from year 1 to 5 = (amount saved - depreciation)(1 - taxes) + depreciation

($165,000 - $109,00)(1 - 0.22) + $109,000 = $152,680

Terminal cash flow = Salvage value - (tax x salvage value)

$71,000 - (0.22 x 71,000) = $55,380

IRR can be determined using a financial calculator:

Cash flow in year 0 = $-449,000

Cash flow in year 1 - 4= $152,680

Cash flow in year 5 = $152,680 + $55,380 = 208,060

IRR = 22.87%

On october 31, 2009, sky co. borrowed $16 million cash and issued a 7-month, noninterest-bearing note. the loan was made by star

mash [69]

Answer: Sky's effective interest rate on this loan is 8.39%.

In this question, we assume that interest is compounded annually.

Since Sky issues a non-interest bearing note, Star Finance will deduct 7 months' interest at 8% on the Face Value of the loan and pay the rest as principal to Sky.

Face value of the note $16 million

Discount Rate p.a 8%

Tenure of the note 7 months

$Discount on Note = Face Value * Discount Rate * \frac{Tenure in months}{Months in a year}$

$Discount on Note = 16 * 0.08 * \frac{7}{12}$

$Discount on Note = 0.746666667million$

[tex]Loan Amount received by Sky = Face Value - Discount on note[/tex]

$Loan Amount received by Sky = 16 - 0.746666667$

$Loan Amount received by Sky = 15.25333333 million$

So, Sky pays an interest of 0.746666667 on a sum of 15.25333333 for 7 months. This works out to a seven month interest of:

$Seven month Interest Rate = \frac{Interest}{Loan amount}$

$Seven month Interest Rate = \frac{0.746666667}{15.25333333}$

$Seven month Interest Rate = 0.048951049$

From this we can work out the effective interest rate for Sky as follows:

$Sky's Effective Interest Rate = Seven month interest rate * \frac{12}{7}$

$Sky's Effective Interest Rate = 0.048951049* \frac{12}{7}$

$Sky's Effective Interest Rate = 0.083916084$
