Answer:

Rate of interest is 8.37%

Explanation:

Future Value = $PV(1+r)^{3}$

3,500 = 2750 $(1+r)^{3}$

$\frac{3500}{2750}$ = $(1+r)^{3}$

$\sqrt[3]{\frac{3500}{2750}}$ = $\sqrt[3]{(1+r)^{3}}$

1.0837 = 1+r

r = 1.0837 - 1

r = 0.0837

r = 8.37%

Check:

3500 = 2750 $(1+0.0837)^{3}$

3500 = 3500

A July sales forecast projects that 5,000 units are going to be sold at a price of $12.50 per unit. The management forecasts 2%

Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

$P_i = 5000 units *12.5\frac{dollars}{unit} = 62500 dollars$

And for the new case we know that the sales increase by a factor of 2%, so then we can find the new number of sales like this:

$1.02*5000 units= 5100 units$

And the Total August sales would be given by:

$P_f = 5100 units *12.5 \frac{dollars}{unit}= 63750 dollars$

And the correct answer for this case would be:

$63,750

Explanation:

For this case the original number of sales for this case is 5000 units and the unitary price is given by $12.5 \frac{dollars}{unit}$

And the total sales for the original case would be given by:

$P_i = 5000 units *12.5\frac{dollars}{unit} = 62500 dollars$

And for the new case we know that the sales increase by a factor of 2%, so then we can find the new number of sales like this:

$1.02*5000 units= 5100 units$

And the Total August sales would be given by:

$P_f = 5100 units *12.5 \frac{dollars}{unit}= 63750 dollars$

And the correct answer for this case would be:

$63,750

An investment costs $152,000 and has projected cash inflows of $71,800, $86,900, and −$11,200 for Years 1 to 3, respectively. If

Radda [10]

Answer:

No; The IRR is less than the required return.

Explanation:

Calculation of IRR is given by the formula: Lr x NPVL / NPVL - NPVH x (Hr - Lr)

where

Lr = Lower rate of discount

Hr = Higher rate of discount

NPVH = NPV at Higher discount rate

NPVL = NPV at Lower discount rate

Assume a low discount rate of 1% and a high rate of 20%

NPV at 1%

Particulars Year 0 Year 1 Year 2 Year 3

Cash flows 152,000 71,800 86,900 (11,200)

DCF 1% 1 0.99 0.98 0.97

Present values (152,000) 71,082 85,162 (10,864)

NPV = $6,620

NPV at 20%

Particulars Year 0 Year 1 Year 2 Year 3

Cash flows 152,000 71,800 86,900 (11,200)

DCF 20% 1 0.83 0.69 0.58

Present values (152,000) 59,594 59,961 (6,496)

NPV = ($38,941)

Substituting values in the IRR formula we have:

1% x [($6,620 / ($6620 - (38,941))] x (20% - 1%) = 2.06%

Therefore we reject the project because it gives an IRR lower than the required rate of return of 15.5%
