Answer:
a. 4 years
b. 19 years
c. 19 years
d. 25 years
Explanation:
The number of years, n is calculated for each future value as follows :
a. $1,360
Pv = - $1,000
Pmt = $ 0
P/y = 1
r = 8 %
Fv = $1,360
n = ?
Using a Financial Calculator, the number of years, n is 3.9953 or 4 years
b. $2,720
Pv = - $1,000
Pmt = $ 0
P/y = 1
r = 8 %
Fv = $2,720
n = ?
Using a Financial Calculator, the number of years, n is 13.00 or 13 years
c. $4,316
Pv = - $1,000
Pmt = $ 0
P/y = 1
r = 8 %
Fv = $4,316
n = ?
Using a Financial Calculator, the number of years, n is 19.00 or 19 years
d. $6,848
Pv = - $1,000
Pmt = $ 0
P/y = 1
r = 8 %
Fv = $6,848
n = ?
Using a Financial Calculator, the number of years, n is 24.9991 or 25 years
Answer: $8.81
Explanation:
To solve this, add the present values of the dividends from years 3, 4 and 5 and then add the present value of the terminal value of the stock at year 5.
Year 3 dividend = $0.50
Year 4 dividend = 0.50 * (1 + 49%) = $0.745
Year 5 dividend = 0.745 * 1.49 = $1.11005
= Dividend in year 3 / (1 + required rate of return)³ + Dividend in year 4 / (1 + required rate of return)⁴ + Dividend in year 5 / (1 + required rate of return)⁵ + (Dividend in year 5 * (1 + growth rate) / ( required rate of return - growth rate ) ) / (1 + required rate of return)⁵
= 0.5 / 1.16³ + 0.745/1.16⁴ + 1.11005/1.16⁵ + ( 1.11005 / (16% - 9%)) / 1.16⁵
= $8.81

Answer:
The firm shouldn't purchase the machine because the IRR is less than the required minimum
Explanation:
Internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested
IRR can be calculated using a financial calcuator
Cash flow in year 0 = $-1.25 million.
Cash flow in year 1 = $210,000
Cash flow in year 2 to 5 = $350,000
IRR = 8.51%
The firm shouldn't purchase the machine because the IRR is less than the required minimum
To find the IRR using a financial calculator:
1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
2. After inputting all the cash flows, press the IRR button and then press the compute button
