Answer:
A. 2 years
B. 86.96
C. 16.46%
Explanation:
Payback period calculates the amount of time taken to recoup the initial investment made on a project.
The net present value substracts the present value of tax adjusted cash flows from the amount invested in the project.
Using the financial calculator to find the NPV:
Cash flow for year 0 = -500
Cash flow for year 1 = 300
Cash flow for year 2 = 200
Cash flow for year 3 = 150
Interest rate = 6%
NPV = $86.96
Internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the tax adjusted cash flows from a project to the original amount invested.
Using the financial calculator to find the NPV:
Cash flow for year 0 = -500
Cash flow for year 1 = 300
Cash flow for year 2 = 200
Cash flow for year 3 = 150
Interest rate = 6%
IRR = 16.46%
To solve this problem, first, we must know the formula to get the current ratio.
Currents Assets
Current Ratio= -------------------------
Current Liabilities
So in this problem the current assets and current liabilities are given which are the following:
CA= $593,000,000
CL= $316,000,000
Let's now solve $593,000,000 / $316,000,000 = 1.88
The correct answer would be answer choice <u>C. determining the qualities.</u>
When it comes to comparing things you will always use the qualities of the person, place, or thing.

Answer:
D) Growth in earnings per share averaging 15% or better annually for the next five years
Explanation:
First of all, objectives must be well defined and measurable. That is why increasing profitability is a good idea but not a very good strategic objective, since a 0.00001% growth in profits will still comply with it. The same applies with growing market share.
Improving product quality will help improve total sales but it is not a financial objective.
The only financial objective that is precise and measurable is option D, which sets the goal of increasing earnings per share at least 15% every year.
