Murrr4er [49]

Answer: D. 15%

Explanation:

The IRR is the discount rate that will make the Net Present Value to be 0.

In other words, the IRR is the discount rate that will make the cash inflow from the investment to be equal to the investment amount.

As the cashflow is constant, it is an annuity and so can be calculated by the Present Value Interest Factor.

Investment cost = $1,100,000

Using the options given;

Discount rate - 14%

Present Value of Cash inflow = 676,507 * Present Value of Annuity factor, 14%, 2 years

= 676,507 * 1.647

= $1,114,207.029‬

1,114,207.029‬ ≠ 1,100,000

Discount rate - 15%

Present Value of Cash inflow = 676,507 * Present Value of Annuity factor, 15%, 2 years

= 676,507 * 1.626

= $1,100,000.382‬

= $1,100,000‬

IRR is 15% as Present value of Cash inflow is equal to Investment cost at a discount rate of 15%.

to estimate its cost of capital. You obtained the following data: D1 = $1.75; P0 = $42.50; g = 7.00% (constant); and F = 5.00%.
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

11.33%

Explanation:

The dividend valuation model will be used here to calculate the cost of equity raised which can be calculated using the following formula:

r = D1 / (Po - F)           + g

Here D1, Po, F and g are given in the question so by putting the values in the equation, we have

r = $1.75 / ($42.5 - 5% of Po)      +  7%

r = 11.33%
