Answer:
a. Project A requires an up-front expenditure of $1,000,000 and generates a net present value of $3,200.
Explanation:
a.
The company should accept project A because it provides a positive net present value of $3,200 that is the highest among all the projects.
b.
When the IRR of a project is lower than the required rate of return of the project, it will generate the negative net present value because at IRR the net present value of the project will be zero and at a higher rate than IRR it will be negative.
c.
The project with a profitability index of less than 1 generates a negative NPV because the present value of future cash flows is less than the initial cash outflow.
d.
Project D also generates a positive net present value but it is lower than project A. So, after comparing the results we will choose the project with higher NPV.
Answer:
The effective annual rate of interest is 23.45%
Explanation:
Effective annual rate of interest=(1+annual interest)^365/t-1
Annual interest =discount rate/100%-discount rate
discount rate here is 2%
annual interest=2/100-2
=2.04%
T is the difference between the discount period of 10 days and credit period of 45 days
45-10=35 days
Effective annual rate of interest=(1+2.04%)^(365/35)-1
=(1.0204^10.42857143)
-1
= 1.2345 -1
=0.2345
=23.45%
