Answer:

10.77%

Explanation:

FV: $1000

PV: $845.87

PMT: $60

Nper: 40 = (25 years - 5 years ago)* 2 for semi-annual payment

We use excel to calculate semi-annual discount rate by formula Rate(Nper,PMT,-PV,FV)

= rate(40,$60,-$845.87,$1000) = 7.18%

⇒ annual rate = semi-annual rate * 2 = 7.18% * 2 = 14.36%

after-tax cost of debt = 14.36% * (1 - 25%) = 10.77%

<em>Please see excel attached for the calculation</em>

An investment has the following cash flows and a required return of 13 percent. Based on IRR, should this project be accepted? W
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

 B. No; The IRR is less than the required return by about 1.53 percent

Explanation:

The internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested.

The IRR can be calculated using a financial calculator:

Cash flow in year zero = -$42,000

Cash flow in year one = 15,300

Cash flow in year two = 28,400

Cash flow in year three = 7,500 

IRR = 11.47%

A project should be chosen if the IRR is greater than the required return

The IRR is less than the required return so the project should be rejected.

To find the IRR using a financial calacutor:

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 IRR button and then press the compute button.

Ugo [173]

Answer:

D) were highly likely to be in their lower-achieving group.

Explanation:

Theory X refers to a motivation theory developed by Douglas McGregor. Theory X can be described as a pessimistic view of humanity and human workers. Managers who support theory X tend to dislike their own work and believe everyone else dislikes their work, are not ambitious and believe everyone else is not ambitious either, and finally don't like to assume responsibility over their actions and believe everyone else is like them.

So it shouldn't be a surprise that managers who support theory X are underachievers.
