Suppose a handbill publisher can buy a new duplicating machine for $500 and the duplicator has a 1-year life. The machine is exp

ected to contribute $550 to the year’s net revenue.
What is the expected rate of return?

If the real interest rate at which funds can be borrowed to purchase the machine is 8 percent, will the publisher choose to invest in the machine?

Will it invest in the machine if the real interest rate is 9 percent? If it is 11 percent?

Answer & Explanation:

Step 1

The expected rate of return r is calculated as follows:

r = (expected revenue - cost / cost) * 100%

= (550 - 500 / 500) * 100%

=10%

Step 2

The publisher will choose to invest the machine when the real interest rate is 10% and 9%. When the expected rate of return is higher than the cost of borrowing, that is, the real interest rate, the investment is profitable and should be undertaken.

In this question, the expected rate of return is 10%, higher than the borrowing cost of 8% and 9%; thus, the investment of the new machine should be undertaken.

When the cost of borrowing is 11%, which is higher than the rate of return of 10%, the investment should not be undertaken.

Which one of the following statements is correct? Question 19 options: A longer payback period is preferred over a shorter payba
stich3 [128]

Answer:

The payback period ignores the time value of money.

Explanation:

This could primarily be classified to be amongst the major disadvantages of the payback period that it ignores the time value of money which is a very important business concept. In the other hand, the payback period disregards the time value of money. It is determined by counting the number of years it takes to recover the funds invested. Some analysts favor the payback method for its simplicity. Others like to use it as an additional point of reference in a capital budgeting decision framework.

The payback period does not account for what happens after payback, ignoring the overall profitability of an investment.
