Answer: Project X

Explanation:

The Payback period is the amount of time it would take for the cash inflows accruing from an investment to payoff the cost of the investment.

Project X has a constant cashflow of $24,000 for 3 years and a cost of $68,000 for the Payback period is;

= 68,000/24,000

= 2.83 years

Project Y has an uneven cash flow with a cost of $60,000. Payback is calculated as;

= Year before payback + Amount left to be paid/cashflow in year of payback

Year before payback = 4,000 + 26,000 + 26,000

= $56,000

This means that the third year is the year before payback.

60,000 - 56,000 = $4,000

Payback period = 3 + 4,000/20,000

= 3.2 years

Based on a Payback period of 3 years, only Project X should be chosen as it pays back in less than 3 years.

A buyer failed to take advantage of the vendor's credit terms of 2/10, n/45, but instead paid the invoice in full at the end of
Neko [114]

Answer: 20.86%

365/ (45-10) * 0.02 = 365/35*2%

= 0.20857 *100= 20.86%

This is calculated using 365 days in a year.

____ [38]

Stock price would be equal to total value of equity divided by no. of shares outstanding. The total value of equity would be calculated as follows:

Total value of equity = corporate value – notes payable – long term debt – preferred stock

= $900 million - $110 million – 90 million – 20 million

= $680 million

The price of the stock would be:

Stock price = total value of equity / no. of shares outstanding

= $680 million / 25 million

= $27.20
