Answer:

b.The IRR is equal to 25.85%

Explanation:

Firstly we are given that i consider investing $100000 which will in this problem be our Cinitial which is the initial investment for the project.

Then now given the risk of this project, my cost of capital is 20% so then we will compare this to the IRR and see if i can accept the project or not if the cost of capital is greater than the IRR than its not good to invest on the project but if the cost of capital is less than the IRR then the this will be a good investment as the cost of capital also checks the opportunity cost.

The future payment cash flows which is $500000 so we will use the following formula:

NPV = (cash flow)/(1+IRR)^n     - initial investment

so we find the present value of the cash flow of the investment and subract the initial investment which will give us a zero cause the present value of the cash flow is equal to the initial investment therefore( n is the period of cash flows):

0= $500000/(1+IRR)^7    - $100000 transpose the initial investment and solve for IRR.

$100000(1+IRR)^7= $500000 then divide both sides by $100000

(1+IRR)^7 =  5          then find the 7nth root of both sides to eliminate the exponent of 7

1+ IRR = \sqrt[7]{5}

1+IRR = 1.258498951 then subtract 1 both sides to solve for IRR

IRR = 0.258498... then multiply by 100 as IRR is a percentage

IRR= 25.85 % rounded off to two decimal places which is the answer b

Stock in CDB Industries has a beta of 1.10. The market risk premium is 7 percent, and T-bills are currently yielding 4 percent.
12345 [234]

Answer:

Cost of equity = 11.7%

Explanation:

<em>The capital asset pricing model is a risk-based model. Here, the return on equity is dependent on the level of reaction of the the equity to changes in the return on a market portfolio. These changes are captured as systematic risk. The magnitude by which a stock is affected by systematic risk is measured by beta.</em>

Under CAPM, Ke= Rf + β(Rm-Rf)  

Rf-risk-free rate,-4%,  β= Beta-1.10, (Rm-Rf) = 7% ,Ke = cost of equity

Using this model,  

Ke=4% + 1.10×7%

= 11.7 %

Cost of equity = 11.7%

Sahia company bought a building for 90,000 cash and the land on which it was located for 1,10,000 cash. The company paid a trans
Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

Sahia Company

1. Net book value of the property at the end of year 2 = $217,800.

2. Journal entry to record the purchase:

Debit Property (land and building) $241,000

Credit Cash Account $241,000

To record the acquisition of the property.

3. Straight-line depreciation (on building only) = $11,600.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Bought building for cash = $90,000

Bought land for cash =         110,000

Transfer cost =                       10,000

Renovation on building =      31,000

Book value of property =  $241,000

Depreciation:

Building cost = $90,000

Transfer cost        4,500 ($10,000*90,000/200,000)

Renovation         31,000

Total cost =    $125,500

Residual value     9,000

Depreciable value = $116,000

Depreciation per annum = $11,600 ($116,000/10)

a) Land is not subject to depreciation and its value is $115,500 or $110,000 + 5,500 ($10,000*110,000/200,000).

b) The net book value of the property at the end of year 2 is

Building $125,500 - 23,200 = $102,300

Land =                                          115,500

Net book value of property =  $217,800
