Answer:

Based on the profitability index method, the investment should not be accepted.

It does not produce enough cash flows to justify the investment.

Explanation:

The profitability index method measures the present value of benefits for by dividing the present value of benefits by the present of initial investments.

The present value of initial investment in this project remains RM400,000.  The present value of incremental annual cash flows of RM80,000 after taxes for 5 years will be equal to:

RM80,000 * 3.668 = RM293,440

Then the next step is to divide the present value of benefits by the initial investment as follows:

RM293,440/RM400,000 = 0.7336 = 73.36%

The implication is that the present value of the benefits is less than the initial investment costs.  The project should then be rejected.

maksim [4K]

Answer:

2.11%

Explanation:

From the information given; we use the Excel spreadsheet to compute the  difference between this bond's YTM(Yield to maturity) and its YTC(Yield to call).

From the diagram; we will see that the

YTM(Yield to maturity) = 8.91%

YTC(Yield to call).= 6.81%

Therefore the difference between this bond's YTM and its YTC = (8.91 - 6.81)%

the difference between this bond's YTM and its YTC = 2.11%

The preliminary net income for February is $ 1,100

The net profit margin is  42.3 %

Explanation:

Computation of net income and net profit margin

Revenues   ( $   900 + $ 1,700 )                                                     $ 2,600    

Expenses ($ 200 + $ 1,200 + $ 100 )                                             <u>$ 1,500</u>

Net Income                                                                                      $ 1,100    

Net profit margin = Net income / Revenues

Net Profit margin   = $ 1,100/ $ 2,600 =                                          42.3 %  

The other entries for collections made on Feb 04 for services to be performed next month and the purchase of supplies to be used in the future are not to be considered in revenues and expenses as they do not pertain to the current month

Nata [24]

Answer:

merge law and equity

Explanation:

In resolving labour related or welfare issues the best way to do so will be to hear the grievances of the striking workers and try to find an equitable solution to the situation.

However if all reasonable avenues have been pursued and they still don't want to comply, then legal measures can be taken to make them work.

In this scenario Reginald should call the striking workers and try to come to an equitable solution for the business and workers where there will be a win-win.

If this does not work he can use the law to compel them to comply.

marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

Value of the bond = $862.013

Explanation:

The value of the bond is the present value of the future cash receipts expected from the bond. The value is equal to present values of interest payment and the redemption value (RV).

Value of Bond = PV of interest + PV of RV

The value of the bond can be worked out as follows:

Step 1

<em>Calculate the PV of Interest payment </em>

Present value of the interest payment

PV = Interest payment × (1- (1+r)^(-n))/r

Interest payment = $40

PV = 40 × (1 - (1.05)^(-12×2)/0.05)

= 40 × 13.7986

= 551.945

Step 2

<em>PV of redemption Value </em>

PV of RV = RV × (1+r)^(-n)

= 1000 × (1.05)^(-12×2)

= 310.067

Step 3

<em>Calculate Value of the bond  </em>

= 551.94567 + 310.067

=862.01

Value of the bond = $862.013
