Answer:

The correct answer is letter "B": emotion.

Explanation:

Decisions can be made <em>objectively </em>or <em>subjectively</em>. When individuals make their decisions objectively they are based on <em>facts, statistics, proven information and resources</em>. When they take decisions subjectively, instead, <em>memories, guesses </em>or<em> biases</em> lead the path.

Then, <em>Helena took a subjective decision to move to Costa Rica based on emotions that memories of that country recalled to her.</em>

Cutler Petroleum, Inc., is trying to evaluate a generation project with the following cash flows:Year Cash Flow0 –$ 39,800,000 1
muminat

Answer:

The two IRRs are: - 76.49% and 36.79%

Explanation:

To simplify our "Hard work", let's denote the cash flow numbers in terms of '000 (To reduce the number of zeros).

IRR is that discount rate R, for which NPV = 0

NPV is the sum of discounted cash inflows and outflows. Therefore,

NPV ($'000) = - 39,800 + (63,800 / (1 + R) - [12,800 / (1 + R)2]

When NPV = 0 [If R is the IRR],

0 = - 39,800 + [(63,800 / (1 + R)] - [12,800 / (1 + R)2]

[12,800 / (1 + R)2] - [(63,800 / (1 + R)] + 39,800 = 0

To simplify further, let's put N = 1 + R. Also, let's divide both sides by 200 [Note: We're only doing arithmetical simplification to reduce the large numbers]]:

[64 / (N)2] - (319 / N) + 199 = 0

Multiplying all terms by (N2):

64 - 319N + 199 (N)2 = 0

that is,

199 (N)2 - 319N + 64 = 0

This is a quadratic equation with large coefficients. Solving quadratic equation is outside scope of this question (it belongs to Algebra), so I've used an Online Quadratic equation solver**, which returns following values of N:

N = 1.3679, and N = 0.2351

So:

1 + R = 1.3679, Or 1 + R = 0.2351

R = (1.3679 - 1) or R = (0.2351 - 1)

R = 0.3679 or R = - 0.7649

The two IRRs are: - 76.49% and 36.79%

The risk-free rate of return is 2.5 percent; the expected rate of return on the market is 7 percent. Stock X has a beta coeffici
zvonat [6]

Answer:

  • Stock is overpriced/ overvalued.
  • Sell if you own it.
  • Don't buy if you don't.

Explanation:

Use CAPM to find the required return on the stock:

Required return = Risk free rate + beta * ( Market return - risk free rate)

= 2.5% + 1.3 * (7% - 2.5%)

= 8.35%

Price based on Constant Dividend Growth Model (CDGM):

Price = Next dividend / (Required return - growth rate)

Next dividend = 1.40 * ( 1 + 4%)

= $1.456

Price = 1.456 / (8.35% - 4%)

= $33.47

<em>Stock is selling for $35. It is overvalued. Don't buy the stock. Sell if you have the stock. </em>
