Answer:

The net present value of the investment is -$1,000

Explanation:

Net present value method: In this method, the initial investment is subtracted from the discounted present value cash inflows. If the amount comes in positive than the project is beneficial for the company otherwise not.

The computation of the Net present value is shown below

= Present value of all yearly cash inflows after applying discount factor - initial investment

= $4,000 - $5,000

= -$1,000

Hence, this investment proposal should not be accepted as it has a negative value

Do some research on mergers and acquisitions. What were the five largest mergers– acquisitions last year? Make a list of the par
viktelen [127]

Answer:

Mergers and Acquisitions in 2019:

1. The five largest mergers-acquisitions in 2019:

   Acquirer   and  Partner

a. BB&T and SunTrust

b. Schwab and TD Ameritrade

c. Raythem and UTC

d. Newmont and Goldcorp

e. Salesforce and Tableau Software

2. Reasons for the M&A:

a. BB&T and SunTrust                        - to cut cost

b. Schwab and TD Ameritrade          - to save money

c. Raythem and UTC                        - to become largest defence company

d. Newmont and Goldcorp               - to acquire competitive advantage

e. Salesforce and Tableau Software - to boost revenue

3. Some of the M&A transactions do not make any strategic sense.  For example, now that Raythem and UTC combined want to form the largest defense company, do they add much to their stockholders returns?  Some others acquired to cut cost will experience the huge costs of acquisition, which are, most times, too large to be written off in a single year.

Explanation:

Major financial transactions done at the corporate level for the purpose of consolidating the assets of two or more companies, growing market share, and eliminating competition are called Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A).  Consolidation of companies may be achieved through mergers, acquisitions, assets purchase, management acquisitions, etc.

Express the following comparative income statements in common-size percents. (Round your percentage answers to 1 decimal place.)
Mila [183]

Answer: Cost of Goods sold

Explanation:

Common size analysis refers to making all entries in the income statement, a percentage of sales for that year.

Current Year                                                      Prior Year

Sales                                      100%                           100%

Cost of Goods sold               75.7%                          46.5%

Gross Profit                            24.3%                          53.5%

Operating expenses             17.3%                             35%

Net Income                              7.0%                            18.5%

<em>Looking at the percentages above, one can see that the COGS increased the most from the previous year by going from 46.5% to 75.7% representing an increase of 29.2%.</em>

<em>This had the most impact on Net income as it substantially reduced Gross profit. </em>

even though an open innovation model enables the firm to take advantage of external innovation conducted by other firms, it does
irina1246 [14]

False, the open innovation strategy enables the company to avoid utilizing external innovation carried out by other businesses.

<h3>What is Open innovation model?</h3>

Open innovation refers to the process of companies and organizations obtaining ideas from both internal and external sources. Sharing information about issues and appealing to those outside the company for advice and solutions entails this. Open innovation is the process of "increasing the markets for the external application of invention while accelerating internal innovation through deliberate inflows and outflows of knowledge."

You may take internally developed ideas or initiatives that don't fit with your primary business model and develop them outside by creating an open innovation network. This could provide additional revenue sources without affecting your main line of business.
