Manufacturing costs from a scraped poor-quality product are $6000 per year. AN investment in an employee training program can re

duce this cost. Program A reduces the cost by 75% and requires an investment of $12,000. Program B reduces the cost by 95% and will cost $20,000. Based on low turnover at the plant, either program should be effective for the next 5 years. If interest is 20%, the present worth of the two programs is nearest what values? (Consider cost reduction a positive cash flow)

Answer:

We see that Prog A will give an annual CF of 75%*$6000 = $4500

Prog B will give annual CF of 95%*$6000 = $5700

Disc Rate Kd = 20%

So PV of Annuity of $1 for 5 yrs with Kd = 20% is 2.9906

So NPV of Prog A = CF0+CF1+ ....+Cf5 = -12000+2.9906*4500 = $1,458

So NPV of Prog B= CF0+CF1+ ....+Cf5 = -20000+2.9906*5700 = $(2,954)

So Prog A is more effective as it gives a Positive NPV

A bank loan has been given to a customer at a bank with a FIXED nominal interest rate of 13%. The real
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

The new real interest rate is 15%

and the lender was hurt.

O 15%; lender

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Fixed nominal interest rate = 13%

Real interest rate for the bank's profit margin = 10%

Inflation rate = 3% (13% - 10%)

Unanticipated inflation rate = 7%

Nominal interest rate = 17% (10% + 7%)

But the bank could not increase its fixed nominal interest rate to match the nominal interest rate.

An investor owns 5,000 shares of IBM stock, $105 per share. He thinks that there is no large rise and possible drop in price. Th
lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

If IBM stock price rises from $105 to $112, the profit associated with the passive strategy is $ 35,000 and the profit associated with the covered call writing strategy is $ 45,000 .

Explanation:

Shares = 5000

Price of shares = $105

Sell Price = $112

The profit associated with the passive strategy  = $(112 - 105) × 5000

= $ 35,000

Now with covered call also included in the strategy the profit/loss from covered call can be calculated as

Strike Price = $110

Spot Price = $112

Total Shares on which Call options are sold = 50 × 100 = $5000

Total Premium received = 5000 × 4 = $20000

(Spot Price - Strike Price ) × Total Shares

= $(112 - 110) × 5000

= $10,000

Hence Net Profit = Premium received - $10,000 = $20,000 - $10,000

= $ 10000

Hence the profit associated with the covered call writing strategy

= $35,000 + $10,000

= $ 45,000

given a cost of 70,000 now year 0 15,000 in year 10 an annual cost of 2000 and an annual revenue of 15,000 over 20 years n what
Damm [24]

Answer:

The maximium cost I would be willing to purchase the asset is 26.033,84‬ above this price the investment will not yield the 6% return.

Explanation:

We calcualte the present value of all cash flows:

annual cashflow:

15,000 revenue - 2,000 expenses = 3,000

C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\

C 3,000.00

time 20

rate 0.06

3000 \times \frac{1-(1+0.06)^{-20} }{0.06} = PV\\

PV $34,409.7637

Pv of the 10th year investment:

\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV  

Maturity  $15,000.0000

time  10.00

rate  0.06000

\frac{15000}{(1 + 0.06)^{10} } = PV  

PV   8,375.9217

present value of the cashflow

34,409.7637 - 8,375.92 = 26.033,84‬
