Answer:
These are the options for the question:
A. They should be more willing to tear down the $5 million stadium, because it cost less to build.
B. They should be more willing to tear down the $50 million stadium, because it cost more to build.
C. The cost to build the old stadium shouldn’t be considered.
And this is the correct answer:
A. They should be more willing to tear down the $5 million stadium, because it cost less to build.
Explanation:
City A will likely be more willing to tear down its old stadium because it costed $5 million to build. City B, on the other hand, will have to think twice because a stadium that costed $50 billion to build could have more value than it seems, or the City could simply not have enough money to build a better new stadium (something that would probably cost more than $50 billion to do).
Answer:
What rate of return (IRR) would you earn if you bought this asset?
8,48%
Explanation:
To find the IRR it's necessary to know which is the discount rate that applied to the cash flow of the assets gives a value that compensate the investment of $200,500.
Year 1 $100.000 / (1+0,0848)^1 = $92.182
Year 2 $100.000 / (1+0,0848)^2 = $35.690
Year 3 $100.000 / (1+0,0848)^3 = $41.398
Year 4 $100.000 / (1+0,0848)^4 = $31.230
Total Present Value of Cash Flow=
$92.182 + $35.690 + $41.398 + $31.230 = $200,500
There is no way to find the IRR without Excel, the only way is to try with different rates in the current cash flow formula.
