Answer: 15%
Explanation:
IRR is the discount rate that makes the NPV equal zero. Required rates of return that are less than the IRR will therefore result in a positive NPV and those that are higher will result in a negative NPV.
Use Excel to find the IRR.
= IRR(-328325,115000,115000,115000,115000)
= 15%
As the required rate of 13% is less than the IRR of 15%, the new machine will have a positive NPV.
Answer:
The maximum growth rate to my calculations is 8.32%, since it is closer to option E), I´d choose E) 8.37%
Explanation:
Hi, in order to find the growth rate given all the info of the problem, we need to use the following formula.
Where:
g = growth rate
b=retention ratio
R = return on equity
Since R = Earnings / Equity, and our dividend payout ratio (equals to 1 - b)our fromula changes to:
So, everything should look like this:
So, the growth rate is equal to 8.32% but this option is not available, therefore we´ll go for the closest one, that is E) 8.37%.
Best of luck.
International business research is only beginning to develop theory and evidence highlighting the importance of supranational regional institutions to explain firm internationalization. In this context, we offer new theory and evidence regarding the effect of a region's "institutional complexity" on foreign direct investment decisions by multinational enterprises (MNEs). We define a region's institutional complexity using two components, regional institutional diversity and number of countries. We explore the unique relationships of both components with MNEs' decisions to internationalize into countries within the region. Drawing on semiglobalization and regionalization research and institutional theory, we posit an inverted U-shaped relationship between a region's institutional diversity and MNE internationalization: extremely low or high regional institutional diversity has negative effects on internationalization, but moderate diversity has a positive effect on internationalization. Larger numbers of countries within the region reduces MNE internationalization in a linear fashion. We find support for these predicted relationships in multilevel analyses of 698 Japanese MNEs operating in 49 countries within 9 regions. Regional institutional complexity is both a challenge and an opportunity for MNEs seeking advantages through the aggregation and arbitrage of individual country factors.
