Answer:
Project A Project B
Initial investments ($170,000) ($115,000)
CF Year 1 $42,500 $34,500
CF Year 2 $58,500 $52,500
CF Year 3 $82,795 $68,500
CF Year 4 $92,900 $68,500
CF Year 5 $67,500 $68,500
using an excel spreadsheet and the IRR function, the internal rate of return of each project is:
- Project A's IRR = 26.02%
- Project B's IRR = 36.31%
We can use the discount rate (12%) to calculate the projects' NPV, we do not need it to calculate their IRR:
- Project A's NPV = $70,855
- Project B's NPV = $88,815
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Although the question is incomplete because it does not attach the model to answer it we can comment on the following.
The problem is that Jamal, trying to increase profits, decided to sell two different products that are not part of the Subway products. When the franchisor visited Jamal's location, it realized the changes and set an ultimatum to Jamal to respect the franchise agreement.
The cause of the problem is that although Jamal wanted to diversify the products to have more income, this contradicts and is against the franchise agreement he signed when he bought the Subway franchise. The contract clearly states that the owner of the franchise can only sell products authorized in the contract by Subway. That is exactly one of the characteristics of a franchise. That you visit one of them any place in the world, and you are going to find de the same products with the same quality. That is the product guarantee of a franchise like Subway.
So the effects for the company are that its reputation an image can be questioned for selling different products that are hot approved by Subway. It is a major risk the company is not going to allow. Furthermore, it is stated in the contract. So Jamal has no right to break it.
One possible solution is that Jamal respects those 30 days to make the proper corrections, follow the guidelines established in the Subway's manuals, offer a sincere apology, and commit himself to operate the franchise just as it is stated on the agreement.
Answer:
Implementation lag
Explanation:
there are four types of lags associated with fiscal policy
Administrative lag is the time it takes to enact the needed policies. Operational lag is the time it takes for the policy to be enacted to the time the effects are felt in the economy
Recognition lag is the amount of time it takes for authorities to recognise a problem in the economy that needs fiscal policy intervention.
Implementation lag is the amount of time it takes for fiscal policy decisions to be implemented.
The answer is going to be B
Answer:
8.20%
Explanation:
Debt equity ratio = 0.95
or
Debt = 0.95 × equity
Cost of equity, ke = 11% or 0.11
Pretax cost of debt, kd = 7% or 0.07
Tax rate = 24% or 0.24
Therefore;
WACC = {Weight of equity × ke } + {Weight of debt × kd × (1-Tax rate)}
It is to be noted that ;
Weight of equity = Equity ÷ (Debt + Equity)
= Equity ÷ ( 0.95×Equity + Equity)
=1 ÷ 1.95
=0.513
Also,
Weight of debt = Debt ÷ ( Debt + Equity)
=0.95 × Equity ÷ ( 0.95 × Equity + Equity)
= 0.95 ÷ 1.95
=0.487
Hence,
WACC = {0.513 × 0.11} + {0.487 × 0.07 × (1-0.24)}
= {0.05643} + {0.03409 × 0.76}
= 0.0823384
or
0.0823384 × 100%
=8.23384
=8.20%
