Several factors affect a firm’s need for external funds. Evaluate the effect of each following factor and place a check next to

Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

The firm increases its dividend payout ratio.

This will increase the need for external funds because with more funds going towards dividends, there will be less funds available to fund operations. The company will therefore be more probable of being in need of Additional funds.

The firm’s inventory turnover decreases, with no effect on the sales forecast.

If the firm's inventory turnover increases, it means that the firm is taking longer to sell off inventory. This will mean that the company will have to invest more in working capital to maintain these inventory levels. This will lead to a higher probability of them needing additional funds.

2. Yes, dividends still affect a firm’s AFN even though they are paid out of after-tax earnings.

Even though they are paid after-tax, they still eat into the funds that the business can be able to set aside to fund operations. So when dividends are paid, the need for AFN increases as well.

If a one-year bond has a face value of $5,000 and is sold for $4,500, what is the interest rate on the bond?

Arada [10]

Answer:

11.1%

Explanation:

The face value is $5000

It is sold for $4,500

Therefore the interest rate of this bond can be calculated as follows

$5000-$4500

= 500

500/4500 × 100

= 0.111 × 100

= 11.1%

Hence the interest rate is 11.1%

Ted, a project manager, wants to invest in a project with an initial cost of $58,500 and cash flows of $32,400 and $38,500 in Ye

Art [367]

Answer:

The project will not be approved

Explanation:

Internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after-tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested

IRR can be calculated with a financial calculator

Cash flow in year 0 = $-58,500

Cash flow in year 1 = $32,400

Cash flow in year 2 = $38,500

IRR = 13,41%

profitability index = 1 + (NPV / Initial investment)

Net present value is the present value of after-tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.

NPV can be calculated using a financial calculator

Cash flow in year 0 = $-58,500

Cash flow in year 1 = $32,400

Cash flow in year 2 = $38,500

I = 10%

NPV = $2,772.72

PI = 1 + $2,772.72 / $58,500 = 1.04

The project will not be approved because the PI is less than the amount of return the boss wants even though the IRR is less than the discount rate

To find the NPV using a financial calculator:

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 NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

3. Press compute

To find the IRR using a financial calculator:

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.
