Answer:

NPV= 603.94

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

A business promises to pay the investor of $6000 today for a payment of $1500 in one year, $3000 in two years, and $3000 in three years.

We need to calculate the net present value using the following formula:

NPV= -Io + ∑[Cf/(1+i)^n]

Cf= cash flow

For example:

Year 2= 3,000/1.06^2= $2,669.99

NPV= 603.94

Answer:

The business sounds good as the net present value is positive.

NPV $603.94

Explanation:

we have to solve for the present value of the discount values of the cash flow:

PV = \frac{1500}{1+0.06} + \frac{3000}{(1+0.06)^2} +\frac{3000}{(1+0.06)^3}

PV = 6603.941509

Net present value

6,603.94 - 6,000 investment (amount borrowed to the business)

603.94

spin [16.1K]

Answer:

  • Receiving five cents for recycling glass bottles
  • Parking fines for illegal parking
  • Tax breaks for 401(k) retirement contributions checked

Explanation:

Recycling is good for the environment and also means companies spending less because they wouldn't have to reproduce the recycle material from scratch. Paying a person money for recycling the glass bottles is an incentive that is meant to encourage them to do it more.

Not all incentives are positive however. Some are negative and aimed at reducing a behavior. Fining people for illegal parking is an example as the logic is that the offending party will think of the fines the next time they want to park illegally and refrain from it.

Offering tax breaks to a person in order to get them to save is an incentive because they are being offered to keep more of their money if they save more.

Alika [10]

Answer:

Option (A) is correct.

Cash flow from Operating Activities:

=  Net income + (Beginning Accounts receivable - Ending Accounts receivable) + (Ending Accounts payable - Beginning Accounts payable)

= $45,000 + ($23,000 - $22,000) + ($28,000 - $26,000)

= $45,000 + $1,000 + $2,000

Two investment advisers are comparing performance. One averaged a 19% return and the other a 16% return. However, the beta for t
finlep [7]

Answer: Adviser B is the superior stock selector.

Explanation:

For the comparision between the two investment advisers, the Jenson's Alpha will be utilized.

Jenson's Alpha:

= Portfolio Actual Return - CAPM(Benchmark Portfolio Return)

T Bill Rate(Risk free rate) = 6%

Market return(E(Em) = 14%

Beta of Investment Adviser A = 1.5

Beta of Investment Adviser B = 1

For Adviser A:

CAPM = Risk free return + Beta ( E(Rm) - Risk free return)

CAPM(Benchmark Portfolio) = 6 + 1.5 (14-6)

= 6 + 12

= 18%

Actual Return = 19%

Jenson's Alpha = 19% - 18% = 1%

For Adviser B:

CAPM = Risk free return + Beta ( E(Rm) - Risk free return)

CAPM(Benchmark Portfolio) = 6 + 1(14-6) = 6 + 1(8) = 14%

Actual Return = 16%

Jenson's Alpha = 16% - 14% = 2%

Adviser B is a better selector because he has a larger alpha of 2% compared to Adviser A who has 1%.

T Bill Rate(Risk free rate) = 3%

Market return(E(Rm) = 15%

Beta of Investment Adviser A = 1.5

Beta of Investment Adviser B = 1

For Adviser A:

CAPM = Risk free return + Beta ( E(Rm) - Risk free return)

CAPM(Benchmark Portfolio) = 3 + 1.5 (15-3)

= 3 + 18

= 21%

Actual Return = 19%

Jenson's Alpha = 19% - 21% = -2%

For Adviser B:

CAPM = Risk free return + Beta ( E(Rm) - Risk free return)

CAPM(Benchmark Portfolio) = 3 + 1(15-3) = 3 + 1(12) = 15%

Actual Return = 16%

Jenson's Alpha = 16% - 15% = 1%

Given the changes, Adviser B is still the better selector because he has a larger alpha of 1% compared to Adviser A who has -2%.
