Answer:

The first project should be chosen

Explanation:

Net present value is the present value of after-tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.

NPV can be calculated using a financial calculator

To determine which project to accept, calculate the NPV for the two projects

The first option

Cash flow in year 0 = $-25 million

Cash flow each year for year 1 - 5 = $10 million

Cash flow in year 6 =  $10 million - $15 million = $-5 million

I = 9.5

NPV = $10.50 million

Option two

Cash flow in year 0 = $-12 million

Cash flow each year for year 1 - 6 = $4 million

I = 9.5

NPV = $5.68 million

The first option should be chosen because the NPV of the first option yields the higher NPV

To find the NPV using a financial calculator:

1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

2. after inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

3. Press compute

Consider the following financial statement information for the Hop Corporation:
EastWind [94]

Answer: Operating cycle = 84.70 days

Cash cycle = 41 days

Explanation:

Beginning inventory = $11,100

Ending Inventory = $12,100

Average inventory = ($11100 + $12100)/2 = 11600

Average Accounts receivable = (6,100 + 6,400)/2 = 6250

Average Accounts payable = (8,300 + 8,700)/2 = 8500

Day sales in inventory = Average inventory × 365 / Cost of goods sold

= 11600 × 365 / 71000 = 59.63 days

Average collection period = Average receivable × 365 / Credit sales

= 6250 × 365 /91000 = 25.07 days

Average payment period = 43.70 days

Therefore, operating cycle will be:

= Day sales in inventory + Average collection period

= 59.63 days + 25.07 days

= 84.70 days

Cash cycle = Operating cycle - Average payment period

= 84.70 - 43.70

= 41 days
