Answer:

A. 5.56%

B. 13.55%

Explanation:

In this question, we are asked to calculate the equity cost using the DCF method and the SML method

A. DCF approach

cost of equity =[ D0(1+growth )/ current price] +growth

= [.40 (1+.05) / 70 ] + .05

= [ .42 / 75] + .05

= .0056 +.05

= 0.0556 same as 5.56%

B)SML approach

Cost of equity = Rf +Beta (Rm-Rf)

= 5.8+ 1.25 (12 -5.8 )

= 5.8+ 1.25 *6.2

= 5.8 + 7.75

= 13.55%

Answer:

D. $221072.

Explanation:

In this question, we use the future value formula which is shown in the spreadsheet.  

The NPER represents the time period.

Given that,  

Present value = $0

Rate of interest = 5%

NPER = 25 years

PMT = 4,632

The formula is shown below:

= -FV(Rate;NPER;PMT;PV;type)

So, after solving this, the answer would be $221,071.92

Return on sales for south drive is lower in year 2 than year 1 what expense is causing this lower?
sergey [27]

The correct answer is d: Interest Expense. The expense that is causing lower profitability is the Interest Expense.

The fee incurred by a business for borrowed cash is known as an interest expense. On the income statement, it is listed as a non-operating expense. It stands for the interest due on all borrowings, including bonds, loans, convertible debt, and credit lines. In essence, it is determined by multiplying the interest rate by the debt's outstanding principal. Instead of the amount of interest paid over the reporting period, interest expense on the income statement shows interest accrued during that time. While interest costs are tax deductible for businesses, they may not be in the case of an individual, depending on their jurisdiction and the purpose of the loan.

Since there are typically lags between interest accruing and interest paid, interest expense frequently appears as a line item on a company's balance sheet.

Comparative income statements for South Drive Company for Year 2 and Year 1 are given below.

................................................Year 2.......................... Year 1

Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

  • The complete present value calcuation is below.

  • The net present value of this project is: $77,930.58 (assuming a value for the sale of the business equal to the purchase price).

Explanation:

For this problem, the first and basic question is:

  • <em>Prepare a net present value calculation for this project. What is the net present value of this project?</em>

<em />

<h2>Solution</h2>

The net present value is equal to: the present value of the future cash flows less present value of the investements.

<u>1. Present value of the future cash flows:</u>

The discount factor is equal to 1 / [1 + (1 + r)ⁿ]

Where:

  • r = 5% = 0.05
  • n = the number of year

Year     Cash flow     Discount factor     Present value

1            $30,000       1/(1 + 0.05)             $30,000/1.05 = $28,571.43

2           $30,000       1/(1 + 0.05)²           $30,000/(1.05)² = $27,210.88

3           $30,000       1/(1 + 0.05)³           $30,000/(1.05)³ = $25,915.13

4           $30,000       1/(1 + 0.05)⁴           $30,000/(1.05)⁴ = $24,681.07

5           $30,000       1/(1 + 0.05)⁵           $30,000/(1.05)⁵ = $23,505.78

5           $240,000*   1/(1 + 0.05)⁵           $240,000/(1.05)⁵ = $188,046.28

*For the year 5 you must also consider the value of the business, which is unknow. You should have some information about it. Although unrealistic, at this stage we can just assume a value: let's say it is the same purchase price: $240,000. That is what the last line shows:

The discount the value of the value of the business is:

  • $240,000 / (1.05)⁵ = $188,046.28

The total present value of the future cash flows is the sum of the present values of all the cash flows:

$28,571.43 + $27,210.88 + $25,915.13 + $24,681.07 + $23,505.78 + $188,046.28 = $317,930.58

<u>2. Calculate the net present value:</u>

  • Net present value =

                     = Total present value of future cash flows - investment

  • Net present value = $317,930.58 - $240,000 = $77,930.58
