Answer:

B. Investment Y has a higher present value.

Explanation:

The cash inflows are given in the question for Investment X and Investment Y

Plus we know that the cash inflows and the number of years has an indirect relation

That means if the cash flows are the same for year 1 and 2 and in year 3 and year 4 so year 1 and year 2 present value would be higher as compared with the last year present value

Since in the question Investment Y has higher cash inflows in starting year but in Investment X has higher cash inflows in last year that interprets Investment Y has a higher present value

Shalnov [3]

Answer: 0.755

Explanation:

From the information given, the current per share value of the option if it expires in one year will be calculated as follows:

Firstly, we calculate the present value which will be:

= $28 / ( 1 + 0.05 )

= $28/1.05

= $26.667

The number of options needed will be:

= ( 34 - 28 )/ ( 4-0)

= 6/4

= 1.5

Therefore,

27.80 = (1.5 x Co) + [28 / (1+0.05)]

27.80 = 1.5Co + (28/1.05)

27.80 = 1.5Co + 26.667

1.5Co = 28.0 - 26.667

1.5Co = 1.1333

Co = 0.755

Therefore, the answer is 0.755
