You are the CFO of a major pharmaceutical firm. A division manager has presented senior management with an investment opportunit

y.
The project would require an investment of $95 million today

If the project succeeds, it will be worth $1 billion in a year. You estimate that there is only a 10% chance that the venture would succeed. If it fails, then in a year you will scrap the project and all of your firm’s $95 million investment will be lost.

Whether the venture succeeds or fails is independent of general market conditions.

The risk-free rate is 3%, the expected return of the market is 12%, and the standard deviation of the market return is 20%. Ignore taxes.

What is the NPV of the project?

$775 million

$870 million

$2.1 million

-$95 million

Answer: $2.1 million

Explanation:

It is mentioned the project is independent of the outcome of general market  which means that

=> beta = 0

Using the CAPM formula which is,

r=rt + B* (rm -rf)

=> r = 3% + 0*(12%-3%) = 3%

Expected value of Project in one year = $1 billions * 0.1

Expected value of Project in one year = $100 millions

NPV = Expected value of Project in one year/ (1 + 0.03) - Initial cost

NPV = 100/ (1 + 0.03) - 95

NPV = 97.1 - 95

NPV = $2.1 million

Answer:

$2.1 million

Explanation:

We solve for the expected monetary value at the end of the project:

\left[\begin{array}{cccc}State&Return&Probability&Weight\\success&1000&0.1&100\\fail&0&0.9&0\\Total&&1&100\\\end{array}\right]

Then, we have to know at which rate to discount this value so we use CAPM

Ke= r_f + \beta (r_m-r_f)

risk free = 0.03

market rate = 0.12

premium market = (market rate - risk free) 0.09

beta(non diversifiable risk) = 0 (independent from the market threfore no correlation.

Ke= 0.03 + 0 (0.09)

Ke 0.03000

Now we discount:

\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV  

Maturity  $100.00

time  1.00

rate  0.03000

\frac{100}{(1 + 0.03)^{1} } = PV  

PV   97.0874

NPV: 97.0874 - 95 = 2.0874 we round up and get 2.10 presnet value (in millions)

Answer:

Crawford Construction

1. Crawford Construction sold and replaced its inventory:

a. 4.14 x

2. With Construction Industry Inventory Turnover Ratio as 4.55x, Crawford Construction:

b. Crawford Construction is holding more inventory per dollar of sales compared to the industry average

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Quick ratio = 2.00x,

Cash = $36,225

Accounts receivable = $20,125

Inventory = x

x= $80,500 - 36,225 - 20,125 = $24,150

Total current assets = $80,500

Total current liabilities = $28,175

Annual sales = $100,000

Using annual sales instead of cost of goods sold to calculate the inventory turnover, = Turnover/Inventory = $100,000/$24,150 = 4.14x

b) Quick ratio equals (Current assets - Inventory)/Current Liabilities.  Computing the quick ratio in place of the current ratio can be used to identify how Crawford Construction can meet its current (short-term) debts without selling inventory and recovering funds from the sale.

c) The Inventory Turnover Ratio divides the cost of goods sold by the average inventory.  The Sales value can approximate the cost of goods sold.  The ratio shows the efficiency of Crawford Construction in handling its inventory.  The higher the value of the ratio, the better, showing that Crawford is more efficient when it gets a higher turnover ratio.

yawa3891 [41]

The adjusted trial balance represents the cost of goods sold as well as total sales. Thus, option D is correct.

<h3>What is the cost of goods sold? </h3>

Cost of goods means the direct cost that is included in the making of the goods. The cost of goods is calculated by adding the purchase price of the commodity and deducting the closing inventory.

A report known as an adjusted trial balance lists all the debit and credit firm accounts exactly as they would appear on the accounting records after reconciliations have been made. Therefore, option D is the correct option.
