Answer:

NPV = $-43246.56103 rounded off to - $43246.56

Explanation:

The Net Present Value or NPV is a tool used to evaluate projects. It is used with various other tools to decide whether to undertake a project or not. To calculate the Net Present Value or NPV, we take the present value of the cash inflows provided by the project and deduct the initial cost of the project.

NPV = CF1 / (1+r)  +  CF2 / (1+r)^2  +  ...  + CFn / (1+r)^n  -  Initial Cost

Where,

  • CF1, CF2, ... represents cash flow in Year 1, Year 2 and so on.
  • r is the required rate of return

NPV = 74000 (1+0.12)  +  74000 (1+0.12)^2  +  74000 (1+0.12)^3  +  74000 (1+0.12)^4  +  74000 (1+0.12)^5  -  310000

NPV = $-43246.56103 rounded off to - $43246.56

Ehrmann Data Systems is considering a project that has the following cash flow and WACC data. What is the project's MIRR? Note t
jeka94

Answer:

the project's MIRR is 13.84 %

Explanation:

MODIFIED INTERNAL RATE OF RETURN (MIRR)

-It is the rate that causes the Present Value of the Terminal Value (Future Cash flows at the end of the Project) to equal Present Value of Cash outflows.

-MIRR assumes a reinvestment rate at the end of the project

The First Step is to Calculate the Terminal Value at end of year 3.

Terminal Value (FV) = Sum of (PV x (1 + r) ^ 3 - n)

                   = $450 x (1.09) ^ 2 + $450 x (1.09) ^ 1 + $450 x (1.09) ^ 0

                   = $534.65 + $490.50 + $450.00

                   = $1,475.15

The Next Step is to Calculate the MIRR using a Financial Calculator :

(-$1,000)          CFj

0           CFj

0           CFj

$1,475.15   CFj

Shift IRR/Yr 13.84 %

Therefore, the project's MIRR is 13.84 %.

A business rents bicycles and in-line skates. Bicycle rentals cost $25 per day, and in-line skate rentals cost $20 per day. The
Alja [10]

Answer:

a.

25 b+20 s=455...equation 1

b+s=20...equation 2, where b and s are the number of bicycle and in-line skate rentals per day.

b. The business had 11 bicycle rentals and 9 in-line skate rentals.

Explanation:

a.

<em>Step 1: Determine an equation for total revenue today</em>

Since the business rents bicycles and in-line skates, the total revenue will be as a result of amount received in revenue from renting the bicycles and in-line skates. This can be expressed as shown;

T=(B×b)+(S×s)

where;

T=total revenue

B=bicycle rental cost per day

b=number of bicycles

S=in-line skate rental cost per day

s=number of in-line skates

In our case;

T=$455

B=$25 per day

b=unknown

S=$20 per day

s=unknown

Replacing;

(25×b)+(20×s)=455

25 b+20 s=455...equation 1

<em>Step 2: Determine an equation for total rentals today</em>

The equation for the total number of rentals is;

R=b+s

where;

R=total number of rentals today

b=number of bicycles

s=number of in-line skates

In our case;

R=20

b=unknown

s=unknown

Replacing;

b+s=20...equation 2

b.

<em>Step 3: Combine equation 1 and 2 ans solve simultaneously</em>

1(25 b+20 s=455), multiplying equation 1 by 1=25 b+20 s=455

     20(b+s=20), multiply equation 2 by 20=20 b+20 s=400

25 b+20 s=455

-

20 b+20 s=400

5 b+0 s=55

(5 b)/5=55/5=11

b=11, replace the value for b in equation 2 and solve;

(20×11)+20 s=400

220+20 s=400

20 s=400-220=180

20 s=180

s=(180/20)=9

The business had 11 bicycle rentals and 9 in-line skate rentals.
