Answer:

a) the project should be accepted because its NPV is positive ($25,693.36)

b) if the required rate of return is 20%, the NPV = -$14,636.41

c) the project should be rejected because its NPV is negative

Explanation:

initial outlay year 0 -$88,000

cash flows years 1 - 9= $18,200

required rate of return = 8%

NPV = $25,693.36

required rate of return = 20%

NPV = -$14,636.41

the project's IRR = 14.63%

Do you agree with the idea of NBA teams requiring fans to place deposits for season tickets for the following year? What about t

san4es73 [151]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached we can say the following.

Not really. I do not totally agree with the idea of NBA teams requiring fans to place deposits for season tickets for the following year. The reason is that I think the NBA teams, with the support of the League, are only thinking about their economic interests after the Pandemic.

Something similar happens with the idea of the NBA charging higher single-game prices to nonseason ticket holders. I think that is not fair.

Fans are fans for the love of the game and the passion professed to their teams. They are loyal. They are always supporting the teams. No matter hell or high water. Fans' loyalty is out of the question.

It was not the fault of the fans the way the 2020 season was played. Yes, teams lost money and they are desperate to recover it quickly, but not at the expense of the people's hard-earned money.

If fixed costs are $200,000 and the unit contribution margin is $20, what amount of units must be sold in order to have a zero p

Sedbober [7]

Answer:

the amount of units that should be sold in the case when there is a zero profit is 10,000 units

Explanation:

The computation of the amount of units that should be sold in the case when there is a zero profit is given below:

No. of units to be sold is

= Fixed Cost ÷ Contribution per unit

= $200,000 ÷ $20

= 10,000 units.

hence, the amount of units that should be sold in the case when there is a zero profit is 10,000 units

You bought one of Lambert Sandblasting Company's 15-year bonds one year ago for $960. These bonds pay 7 percent annually, have a

maksim [4K]

Answer:

Real return on investment: 22.9465%

Explanation:

Okay let's explain each concept we have given:

Face Value $1,000

This is the ammount Lambert will pay at maturity

Purchase Value $ 960

This is the Ammount we pay for the bond

Market Value of the bond today $ ???

This is what we need to determinate to see the return we got

Once we got the market Value we will do:

Market Value / Purchase Value - 1 = rate of return

Now the market value today will be the present value of the bond, and the bond has the following data:

Mature in 14 year

bond rate 7% annualy.

So each year we receive the 7% of the face value ($1,000) = $70

And at the end of the bond life we receive 1,000

We need to bring this numbers at present day using the real market rate, because the economy is having inflation:

market rate 8%

inflation rate 2.7%

real rate:

(1+rate)/(1+inflation) -1 = real rate

$\frac{1.08}{1.027} -1 = real rate$

real rate = 5.16%

To know the present value of the bond we will have to consider:

present value of an annuity of 70$ during 14 year at a rate of 5.16% =
present value of the 1,000 that will be pay at maturity at a rate of 5.16%

The annuity will be

$70 * \frac{1-(1+0.0516)^-14}{0.0516} = 685.87$

$C * \frac{1-(1+rate)^-time}{rate} = present value$

$685,87

The present value of the 1,000 will be

face value/(1+rate)^time

1,000/(1+0.0516)^14 = $494,42

for a total of $1.180,29

Now we will calculate the real return on the investment:

we receive 1.180,29 for 960 so the rate is

1.180,29 /960 - 1 = 0.229465 = 22.9465%

A retired woman has $180,000 to invest. she has chosen one relatively safe investment fund that has an annual yield of 9% and an

Zepler [3.9K]

Solution:
Let the amount invested in scheme which yields 9% be x and amount invested in scheme which yields 13% be y.
x + y = 180000 --equation 1
0.09x + 0.13y = 18000 --equation 2
Balancing the equations, multiply equation 1 with 0.09 and equation 2 with 1,
0.09x + 0.09y = 16200 -equation 3
0.09x + 0.13y = 18000 --equation4
Subtracting equation 4 from 3,
-0.04y = -1800
y = 45000
Now putting value of y in equation 1,
x + 45000 = 180000
x = 135000
The amount to be invested in scheme which yields 9% = $135,000
The amount to be invested in scheme which yields 13% = $45,000
