Corner Jewelers, Inc. recently analyzed the project whose cash flows are shown below. However, before the company decided to acc

ept or reject the project, the Federal Reserve changed interest rates and therefore the firm's cost of capital (r). The Fed's action did not affect the forecasted cash flows. By how much did the change in the r affect the project's forecasted NPV? Note that a project's expected NPV can be negative, in which case it should be rejected.Old r: 8.00% New r: 11.25%Year 0 1 2 3Cash flows −$1,000 $410 $410 $410a. −$59.03b. −$56.08c. −$53.27d. −$50.61e. −$48.08

Answer:

correct option is a. −$59.03

Explanation:

given data

Old cost of capital (r)   8.00%        New cost of capital (r)  11.25%

year                                 0                1                                     2                  3

cash flow                        -$1000       $410                              $410        $410

solution

we know that here old cost of capital (r) NPV will be

old cost of capital (r) NPV = cash flow 0 year + cash flow × \frac{1-(1+rate)^{-time}}{rate}

put here value

old cost of capital (r) NPV = -1000 + 410 × \frac{1-(1+0.08)^{-3}}{0.08}

old cost of capital (r) NPV = $56.61

and

new cost of capital (r) NPV will be

new cost of capital (r) NPV = cash flow 0 year + cash flow × \frac{1-(1+rate)^{-time}}{rate}

put here value

new cost of capital (r) NPV = -1000 + 410 × \frac{1-(1+0.1125)^{-3}}{0.1125}

new cost of capital (r) NPV = -$2.42

so difference is

Difference = -$2.42 - $56.61

Difference = -$59.03

so correct option is a. −$59.03

IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

e. $638

Explanation:

payment to be made as per forward contract (IN $)

= 39960/ 1.682  

= $23757.43  

now the actual rate after 90 days is 1.638

payment at 1.638 rate = 39960/ 1.638

                                    = $24395.6  

loss by hedging = $24395.6 - $23757.43  

                           = $638.17

Therefore, The U.S. firm have saved or lost $638 in U.S. dollars by hedging its exchange rate exposure.

High-Low Method
frozen [14]

Answer:

Requirement 1

<em>High Point = March</em>

<em>Low Point = January</em>

Requirement 2

<em>Variable rate for tanning $0.41 per tanning appointment </em>

<em>Fixed cost per month $1,457</em>

Requirement 3

<em>Total Cost = $1,457 + $0.41 × Activity Level</em>

Requirement 4

<em>Total predicted cost for September $ 2,482</em>

<em>Total fixed cost for September $1,457</em>

<em>Total predicted variable cost for September $1,025</em>

Explanation:

Requirement 1

High Point = March

Low Point = January

Requirement 2

<em>Variable Cost = Difference in Overhead Cost (High - Low)/ Difference in Activity (High - Low)</em>

                       = $2,810 - $1,744 / 3,300 - 700

                       = $1,066/ 2,600

                       = $0.41

<em>Fixed Cost Component = Total Overhead Cost - Variable Cost × Selected Activity.</em>

Lets Select, January 700 $1,744

Fixed Cost Component = Total Overhead Cost - Variable Cost × Selected Activity.

                                       =  $1,744 - $0.41 × 700

                                       =  $1,457

Requirement 3

Cost formula for tanning services

<em>Total Cost = Fixed Cost + Variable Cost</em>

thus,

Total Cost = $1,457 + $0.41 × Activity Level

Requirement 4

Total Cost = $1,457 + $0.41 × Activity Level

                 =  $1,457 + $0.41 × 2,500

                 = $ 2,482
