Answer:
1. NPV calculation
Option 1 ( with Greewood fertilizer) : $2.256
Option 2 ( with Peter's Fertilizer) : $3.835
2. Rate of return calculation:
Option 1: 45.12%
Option 2: 95.875%
Option 2 should be chosen as it provides higher NPV.
Explanation:
1. The detailed calculation for each option is:
Option 1: Present value of sales proceed - initial cost = (8/1.05^2) - 5 = $2.256
Option 2: Present value of sales proceed - initial cost = (10/1.05^5) - 4 = $3.835.
2. The detailed calculation for each option is:
Option 1: NPV/Initial cost = 2.256/5= 45.12%
Option 2: NPV/Initial cost =3.835/10 = 95.875%
To assess which option should be picked with the assumption of infinite time horizon, NPV should be key driver. As Option 2 has higher NPV, Option 2 is chosen.
Answer:
4.96%
Explanation:
In order to determine the component after-tax cost of debt first we need to compute the before tax cost of debt by applying the RATE formula which is to be shown in the attachment below:
Given that,
Present value = $1,155
Future value or Face value = $1,000
PMT = 1,000 × 8.25% ÷ 2 = $41.25
NPER = 40 years × 2 = 80 years
The formula is shown below:
= Rate(NPER;PMT;-PV;FV;type)
The present value come in negative
So, after applying the above formula
1. The pretax cost of debt is 3.54% × 2 = 7.08%
2. And, the after tax cost of debt would be
= Pretax cost of debt × ( 1 - tax rate)
= 7.08% × ( 1 - 0.30)
= 4.96%
During pre-Civil War times in the United States, banks around the country issued bank notes as a form of currency. The large number of banks led to a large number of diverse bank notes that circulated around the country. Although many banks issued only enough bank notes that could be backed up by specie (gold and silver during the time), riskier banks gave into temptation and issued more than they could cover. This practice caused many people to doubt the exact worth of certain notes and in turn have little faith in some banks.
