Answer:

Investment Y has a greater present value

Explanation:

present value is the sum of disoucnted cashflows

i would choose an interest rate of 10% to calcuate the present values

for investment X

cash flow in year 1 = $5,000

cash flow in year 2 = $7,000

cash flow in year 3 = $9,000

cash flow in year 4 = $11,000

I = 10%

PV = $24,605.56

or investment Y

cash flow in year 1 = $11,000

cash flow in year 2 =$9,000

cash flow in year 3 = $7,000

cash flow in year 4 = $5,000

I = 10%

PV = $26,112.29

Investment Y has a greater present value

To find the PV using a financial calculator:

1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

2. after inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.  

3. Press compute

Two companies share a market, in which they currently make $5,000,000 each. Both need to determine whether they should advertise
snow_tiger [21]

Answer: Please refer to Explanation.

Explanation:

Two Companies. We shall call them A and B.

If A and B decide not to advertise, they both get $5,000,000.

If A advertises and B does not then A captures $3 million from B at a cost of $2 million meaning their payoff would be,

= 5 million - 2 million + 3 million

= $6 million.

A will have $6 million and B will have $2 million as $3 million was captured from them. This scenario holds true if B is the one that advertises and A does not.

If both of them Advertise, they both reduce their gains by $2 million while capturing $3 million from each other so they'll essentially both have just $3 million if they both decide to advertise.

With the above scenarios, it is better for both companies to ADVERTISE if there is NO COLLUSION. This is because it ensures that they do not get the lowest payoff of $2 million if the other company decides to advertise and they do not.

However, if they DO COLLUDE. They must both decide that NONE of them SHOULD ADVERTISE and this would leave them with their original $5 million each which is a higher payoff than the $3 million they will both receive if they were both advertising.

Marston Manufacturing Company has two divisions, L and H. Division L is the company’s low-risk division and would have a weighte
uysha [10]

Answer:

Should Marston Manufacturing Company accept or reject the project?

Marston C Company should reject the project because its expected return is lower than Division H's cost of capital.

Since the divisions' risk is so different, and probably their projects are also very different, the company should use different costs of capital to accept of reject the projects based on each division's cost of capital.

Imagine another situation where Division L is evaluating a project that yields 10%. If they used the company's WACC, then they should reject the project, but if they used the division's cost of capital, then they should accept the project (in this case I would recommend accepting it).

Explanation:

Division H's risk = 14%

Division L's risk = 8%

WACC = 11%

Sindrei [870]
Any contract Fay enters into is "voidable if the other party does not realize that Fay is incompetent".

Business contract law holds that people that have been proclaimed mentally uncouth in a courtroom may discover an agreement they go into announced void, voidable, or enforceable. The guardian is the main individual who can go into an agreement for the incompetent individual's behalf.

Can someone please help me? Why are subordinate bonds and preferred stock more risky than long-term senior bonds?
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

Subordinated bonds, also known as subordinated debts, is an unsecured loan or bond that ranks below other, more senior loans or securities with the respect to claims on assets or earnings. Generally, subordinated bonds are debts that can be added to preferred stocks. Preferred stocks can be viewed as long- term investments, but are generally more risky because they are more sensitive to interest- rate risk if the rates rise. If they rise, then the price of the preferred stocks may fall and can fall lower than the price of short- term bonds. The difference between subordinated bonds and senior bonds is the priority in which the debt claims are paid. If one has to file bankruptcy or face liquidation, senior debts is paid back before the subordinate debt. Once the senior debt is completely paid back, then the subordinate debt starts being repaid.
