Answer:

(a) It will have multiple IRRs

(b) The MIRR calculated is 10.18% . Going by MIRR result , this project will only generate returns that is equal to cost of capital(10%)  .If there are other avaible more viable projects, it should be rejected ( Please see attached computation).

Explanation:

(a) The multiple IRRs occurs when cash flows change sign and result in more than one value for the IRR.

Application of IRR to value an investment is only suitable when the project has normal cash flows, i.e a negative initial cash flow (i.e initial investment) followed by a series of positive cash flows.

In this scenario, we have negative cash flow of $6m  in year 4 which occured after positive cash flow of $3.5m per year from year 1 to 3. This typically make IRR unreliable. To overcome this limitation , we can use Modified Internal Rate of Return (MIRR)

(b) Please see attached for more details.

Chamonix Chateau Rentals. You are planning a ski vacation to Mt. Blanc in Chamonix, France, one year from now. You are negotiati
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

The budgeted $ amount is  $13,680.88  

Explanation:

The purchasing power parity formula gives us an idea what an exchange spot rate would be in future period using the below formula:

Future spot rate=current spot rate*(1+US inflation)/(1+French inflation)

current spot rate=$1.3620

US inflation rate is 2.50%

French inflation is 3.50%

Future spot rate=$1.3620*(1+2.5%)/(1+3.5%)

future spot rate=$1.3488

The weekly cost of vacation would also be adjusted for inflation rate in France as follows:

Adjusted price=9800*(1+3.5%)=10143

Hence the cost of the one week rental would be 10143  multiplied by the future spot exchange rate of 1.3488 i.e $ 13,680.88   (10143*1.3488)

Sherman, Inc. manufactures chainsaws that sell for $65. Each chainsaw uses $14 in direct materials and $9 in direct labor per un
anzhelika [568]

Answer: $18

Explanation:

Based on the information,

Sales revenue = $65 × 225 = $14625

Cost of goods sold = (45 × $20) + (1125 × $4) + (225 × $14) + (225 × $9)

= $900 + $4500 + $3150 + $2025

= $10575

Gross profit = Sales revenue - Cost

= $14625 - $10575

= $4050

The gross profit for one chainsaw will be:

= $4050/225

= $18
