Solution:

NPV is calculated as:

NPV = \frac{C1}{1+r} +\frac{C1}{(1+r)^{2} } +\frac{C1}{(1+r)^{3} } + ....... + \frac{C1}{(1+r)^{n} } - A

We calculate the free cash flow of the project : ( Check the attachment )

1)

Using NPV formula

NPV = − $ 7 , 328 , 810.58

2)

IRR is the discount rate (R) when the NPV of the project will be equal to zero.

Solving the equation (1) for R we get:

R = 3.93%

So IRR of the project = 3.93%

Global Pistons​ (GP) has common stock with a market value of $ 200$200 million and debt with a value of $ 100$100 million. Inves
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

a. Suppose GP issues $ 100$100 million of new stock to buy back the debt. What is the expected return of the stock after this​ transaction?

  • 12%

b. Suppose instead GP issues $ 50.00$50.00 million of new debt to repurchase stock. i. If the risk of the debt does not​ change, what is the expected return of the stock after this​ transaction?

  • 18%

ii. If the risk of the debt​ increases, would the expected return of the stock be higher or lower than when debt is issued to repurchase stock in part ​(i​)?

  • If the risk of the debt increases, then the cost of the debt will increase. Therefore, the company will need to spend more money paying the interests related to the new debt which would decrease the ROE compared to the 18% of (i). Since we do not know the new cost of the debt, we cannot know exactly by how much it will affect the ROE, but I assume it will still be higher than the previous ROE.

Explanation:

common stock $200 million

total debt $100 million

required rate of return 15%

cost of debt 6%

current profits = ($200 million x 15%) + ($100 x 6%) = $30 million + $6 million = $36 million

if equity increases to $300 million, ROI = 36/300 = 12

if instead new debt is issued at 6%:

equity 150 million, debt 150 million

cost of debt = 150 million x 6% = $9 million

remaining profits = $36 - $9 = $27 million

ROI = 27/150 = 18%

Suppose Germany, a large country, imposes a tariff on tuna imports. Before the tariff, all the countries in the world are engage
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

1. This is true.

The Germans will pay a higher price for tuna because the tariff will increase the price of imported tuna and the reduction in completion with the local producers will lead to higher prices as the local producers take up their price.

2. This is true.

German producers no longer have to compete as much with imported tuna which was cheaper. They will therefore be able to raise their prices.

3. This statement is false.

The world price of Tuna DOES NOT increase because the tariff is only applicable in Germany. Other parts of the world will trade tuna as before. This is what is assumed.

4. This statement is true.

If Vietnam was exporting tuna to Germany, they will become worse off because they will see a decline in demand for their tuna on account of the tariffs making the tuna more expensive.

5. This is false.

Vietnamese tuna consumers will still pay the same price to get tuna because Vietnam produces the tuna. It is Vietnam's producers that will suffer not the consumers.

A simultaneous increase in both unemployment and inflation is most likely to be the result of a(n): Group of answer choices decr
sesenic [268]

Answer: Decrease in the short run aggregate supply. increase in long run aggregate supply

Explanation:

assuming the wage stays constant in the short run (price of labour), an increase inflation/general prices will lead to a decrease in the Supply of labour because the current wage is no longer enough to cover the same number of goods people used to buy which will then increase Unemployment. The Labor market will experience a situation where inflation and unemployment are increasing at the same time

The Supply of Labour will increase in the Long run because the wage price will have sufficient time to adjust and increase to a new equilibrium level. .an increase in wage price will increase the quantity of supplied.

Your portfolio consists of $50,000 invested in Stock X and $50,000 invested in Stock Y. Both stocks have return of 15%, betas of
NARA [144]

Answer:

B) Your portfolio has a beta equal to 1.6, and its expected return is 15%

Explanation:

Since the correlation coefficient between both stocks X and Y is zero, when one stock has an expected return a little higher than 15%, the other stock will have an expected return a little lower than 15%, so both variations basically cancel out each other. So the average expected return for both X and Y will be 15%.
