Answer:

a. What is the regular payback period for each of the projects?

  • project A: 2.67 years
  • project B: 1.5 years

b. What is the discounted payback period for each of the projects?

  • project A: 3.07 years
  • project B: 1.83 years

c. If the two projects are independent and the cost of capital is 10%, which project or projects should the firm undertake?

  • project A: NPV = $12.74 million
  • project B: NPV = $11.55 million
  • both projects have positive NPVs so they should both be chosen

d. If the two projects are mutually exclusive and the cost of capital is 5%, which project should the firm undertake?

  • project A: NPV = $18.24 million (higher NPV, so this project should be selected)
  • project B: NPV = $14.96 million

e. If the two projects are mutually exclusive and the cost of capital is 15%, which project should the firm undertake?

  • project A: NPV = $8.21 million
  • project B: NPV = $8.64 million (higher NPV, so this project should be selected)

f. What is the crossover rate?

  • 13.53%

g. If the cost of capital is 10%, what is the modified IRR (MIRR) of each project?

  • MIRR project A = 21.93%
  • MIRR project B = 20.96%

Explanation:

                                             Project A                      Project B

investment required       -$25,000,000              -$25,000,000

cash flow 1                          $5,000,000               $20,000,000

cash flow 2                        $10,000,000                $10,000,000

cash flow 3                        $15,000,000                 $8,000,000

cash flow 4                       $20,000,000                 $6,000,000

a. What is the regular payback period for each of the projects?

project A: 2 years ($15 million) + 10/15 = 2.67 years

project B: 1 year ($20 million) + 5/10 = 1.5 years

b. What is the discounted payback period for each of the projects?

interest rate = 10%

discounted cash flows      Project A                    Project B

                                        5/1.1 = 4.55                20/1.1 = 18.18

                                      10/1.1² = 8.26               10/1.1² = 8.26

                                      15/1.1³ = 11.27                8/1.1³ = 6.01

                                     20/1.1⁴ = 13.66                6/1.1⁴ = 4.1

project A: 3 years ($24.08 million) + 0.92/13.66 = 3.07 years

project B: 1 year ($18.18 million) + 6.82/8.26 = 1.83 years

c. If the two projects are independent and the cost of capital is 10%, which project or projects should the firm undertake? using excel spread sheet an NPV function:

project A: NPV = $12.74 million

project B: NPV = $11.55 million

both projects have positive NPVs so they should both be chosen

d. If the two projects are mutually exclusive and the cost of capital is 5%, which project should the firm undertake?

project A: NPV = $18.24 million (higher NPV, so this project should be selected)

project B: NPV = $14.96 million

e. If the two projects are mutually exclusive and the cost of capital is 15%, which project should the firm undertake?

project A: NPV = $8.21 million

project B: NPV = $8.64 million (higher NPV, so this project should be selected)

f. What is the crossover rate?

investment project A - investment project B = 0

cash flow 1 project A - cash flow 1 project B = 5 - 20 = -15

cash flow 2 project A - cash flow 2 project B = 10 - 10 = 0

cash flow 3 project A - cash flow 3 project B = 15 - 8 = 7

cash flow 4 project A - cash flow 4 project B = 20 - 6 = 14

now using excel spreadsheet we determine IRR: 13.53%

g. If the cost of capital is 10%, what is the modified IRR (MIRR) of each project?

MIRR = {ⁿ√ [FV(positive cash flows x cost of capital)] / [PV(initial outlays)]} - 1

future value of positive cash flows project A = (5 x 1.1³) + (10 x 1.1²) + (15 x 1.1) + 20 = 6.655 + 12.1 + 16.5 + 20 = 55.255

future value of positive cash flows project A = (20 x 1.1³) + (10 x 1.1²) + (8 x 1.1) + 6 = 26.62 + 12.1 + 8.8 + 6 = 53.52

PV initial outlays for both projects = -$25,000

n = 4

MIRR project A = {⁴√ [55.255 / -25]} - 1 = 1.2193 - 1 = 0.2193 or 21.93%

MIRR project B = {⁴√ [53.52 / -25]} - 1 = 1.2096 - 1 = 0.2096 or 20.96%

Maru [420]

Answer:

B. 2.8 years

Explanation:

Initial investment = -120,000+ 8,000 = -112,000

Yr 1 cash inflow = 40,000, hence net CF = 40,000-112,000 = -72,000

Yr 2 cash inflow = 40,000, hence net CF = 40,000- 72,000 = -32,000

Yr 3 cash inflow = 40,000, hence net CF = 40,000-32,000 = 12,000

Payback period = last year with negative net CF + (absolute net CF that year/ total CF the following year)

= 2 + (32,000/40,000)

= 2 + 0.8

= 2.8 years

what is the total amount of final goods and service produced in a country that people, businesses, governments, and foreigners p
Bas_tet [7]

The total amount of final goods and service produced in a country that people, businesses, governments, and foreigners plan to buy is Gross domestic product (GDP).

<h3>What is Gross domestic product (GDP)?</h3>
  • GDP is a metric for a country's economic output. GDP is a measure of the overall economic output of new products and services in a particular year.
  • The circular flow diagram can be used to illustrate GDP as a flow of income moving in one direction and expenditures on resources, products, and services moving in the opposite way.
  • According to this model, households purchase goods and services from businesses, and vice versa.
  • The circular flow figure shows how the national income calculation methods of using income and expenditures are equivalent.
  • Money (revenue from the sale of the commodities, services, and resources) travels counterclockwise in this picture while goods, services, and resources go clockwise.

What is a BFOQ? Should BFOQs be allowed?
Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

In employment law, a bona fide occupational qualification (BFOQ) (US) or bona fide occupational requirement (BFOR) (Canada) or genuine occupational qualification (GOQ) (UK) is a quality or an attribute that employers are allowed to consider when making decisions on the hiring and retention of employees—a quality that when considered in other contexts would constitute discrimination and thus be in violation of civil rights employment law. Such qualifications must be listed in the employment offering.[citation needed]

Explanation:

Canada

The law of Canada regarding bona fide occupational requirements was considered in a 1985 Canadian court case involving an employee of the Canadian National Railway, K. S. Bhinder, a Sikh whose religion required that he wear a turban, lost his challenge of the CNR policy that required him to wear a hard hat.[1] In 1990, in deciding another case, the Supreme Court of Canada amended the Bhinder decision: "An employer that has not adopted a policy with respect to accommodation and cannot otherwise satisfy the trier of fact that individual accommodation would result in undue hardship will be required to justify his conduct with respect to the individual complainant. Even then the employer can invoke the BFOQ defence."[2]

United States

In employment discrimination law in the United States, both Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Age Discrimination in Employment Act contain a BFOQ defense. The BFOQ provision of Title VII provides that:

[I]t shall not be an unlawful employment practice for an employer to hire and employ employees, for an employment agency to classify, or refer for employment any individual, for a labor organization to classify its membership or to classify or refer for employment any individual, or for an employer, labor organization, or joint labor-management committee controlling apprenticeship or other training or retraining programs to admit or employ any individual in any such program, on the basis of his religion, sex, or national origin in those certain instances where religion, sex, or national origin is a bona fide occupational qualification reasonably necessary to the normal operation of that particular business or enterprise ...[3]

Which of the following countries is on the best terms with North Korea and has demonstrated this in their treatment of 2010 even
AysviL [449]
Hi, 

The answer is China

Over time, China has demonstrated their support to North Korea. In 2010 North Korea attacked with artillery the island of Yeonpyeong, where there were civilians, and South Korea responded by attacking North Korea's artillery. 

Tensions scaled, and although most world governments condemned the attack, China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs didn't explicitly condemn the bombarding by North Korea and only made a call to peace in the Korean Peninsula.

Assessment
Goryan [66]

Answer:

You must decline the transaction for the following reasons:

A customer may not purchase more than $2,000 in prepaid cards within a 24-hour period.

Customer ID must be a valid (not expired) government issued photo ID (US or Canadian  issued driver's license, state ID, passport; US military ID, US Territory ID)

Customers may not purchase more than $250 at the assisted check out (ACO).

Explanation:  

A customer may not purchase more than $2,000 worth of prepaid products in one business day.

POS will prompt cashiers for an ID at $300:

POS will prompt cashiers to scan or manually enter a valid ID for purchases  at   $300.

Customers may not purchase more than 10 prepaid cards in one day.

Customers may not purchase more than $250 at the assisted check out (ACO).

Managing our prepaid card limits on a daily basis is run, similar to our money order process. The 2,000 daily limits for prepaid/gift cards is accomplished through a partnership with  APPRISS.

 Note :

The POS Register does not allow a single transaction over $2,000 to ensure CVS/pharmacy is in compliance with federal regulations.

Breaking up transactions to allow the purchase of more than $2,000

in prepaid products to one customer, couple or group is strictly against CVS/pharmacy policy and may result in disciplinary action up to, and including, termination of employment.
