Answer:

First Offer  

Present value = $60,000

Second Offer  

PV = Down payment + A<u>(1 -(1 + r/m)</u>-nm

                                                 r/m

PV = $10,000 + $6,000(<u>1- (1+ 0.06/2</u>))-5x2

                                                0.06/2

PV = $10,000 + $6,000(<u>1 - (1 + 0.03</u>))-10

                                                 0.03

PV = $10,000 + 6,000<u>(1 - (1.03)</u>)-10

                                             0.03

PV = $10,000 + 6,000(8.5302)

PV = $61,181

The difference between the two present values

= $61,181 - $60,000

= $1,181

Explanation:

The present value of the cash payment is $60,000. The present value of the second offer is the down payment plus the present value of semi-annual payments. We need to use the present value of annuity formula so as to determine the present value of semi-annual payments. Then. we will deduct the present value of the first offer from the present value of the second offer in order to obtain difference in present values.

Answer:

The answer is: The expected rate of return from this investment is 26.68%

Explanation:

We are given the following cash flows for this operation:

  • Initial investment = -$24.50
  • Cash flow 1 = $1.25 (dividend year 1)
  • Cash flow 2 = $1.35 (dividend year 2)
  • Cash flow 3 = $1.45 (dividend year 3)
  • Cash flow 4 = $56.55 ($1.55 dividend year 4 + $55 stock's sales price)

Using an excel spreadsheet and the IRR function:

=IRR(value 1: value 5) =26.68%  

where

  • value 1 = -24.50
  • value 2 = 1.25
  • value 3 = 1.35
  • value 4 = 1.45
  • value 5 = 56.55

Neko [114]

Answer:

$2,000

Explanation:

Ms. Pear invested $12,000 in 1,000 shares of YZ Corporation. After the dividends she received and the stock split, she ended with 2,400 shares. Since she sold 400 shares, it represents 16.67% of her total shares (= 400 / 2,400). To determine the basis for the 400 shares she sold all we need to do is multiply 16.67% x $12,000 (initial investment) = $2,000
