Assume that potential projects X, Y and Z will each pay a total of $100,000 over 20 years. X pays $8,000 per year for 10 years a
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

The answer is Project X is the most attractive to an investor.

Explanation:

We can use the definition of Net Present Value (NPV) to solve this problem and figure out which would be the best investment.

Net present value is the present value of future money. In other words, over certain period of time, how much is your investment worth today. It takes into consideration cash inflow and outflow over that period of time as well as interest that could be earned on alternative investments if you had the money today. See attachment to see the NPV formula.

In the attachment, we calculate the NPV for each one of the projects using a rate of return i=3% for all of them. Any rate of return could be used as long as they are the same for all projects.

A positive NPV value means a good investment and the higher that number is the better the investment. In this case, we can see that Project X has the higher NPV of all the projects. Therefore, project X is the most attractive for an investor.

On August 1, 2018, Deeva, Inc., sold equipment and accepted a six-month, 9%, $50,000 note receivable. Deeva's year-end is Decemb
Bingel [31]

Answer:

$1,875

Explanation:

Given that,

Amount of note receivable = $50,000

Time period = 6 month

Interest rate = 9%

Interest amount:

= Principle amount × Interest rate × Time period

= $50,000 × 0.09 × (6/12)

= $2,250

Interest Accrued from 1 August to 31 December :

= (Interest amount ÷ 6 months) × 5 months

= ($2,250 ÷ 6 months) × 5 months

= $375 × 5 months

= $1,875

An investor is considering two investment, an office building and bonds. He can only invest on of them. The possible return from
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

1) Calculate the expected return and variance of investing in office building.

expected return:

$50,000 x 0.3 = $15,000

$60,000 x 0.2 = $12,000

$80,000 x 0.1 = $8,000

$10,000 x 0.3 = $3,000

<u>$0 x 0.1 = $0                      </u>

expected return = $38,000

$50,000 - $38,000 = -$12,000² = $144,000,000

$60,000 - $38,000 = -$22,000² = $484,000,000

$80,000 - $38,000 = -$42,000² = $1,764,000,000

$10,000 - $38,000 = -$28,000² = $784,000,000

<u>$0 - $38,000 = -$38,000² = $1,444,000,000         </u>

<u />

expected variance: (0.3 x $144,000,000) + (0.2 x $484,000,000) + (0.1 x $1,764,000,000) + (0.3 x $784,000,000) + (0.1 x $1,444,000,000) = $43,200,000 + $96,200,000 + $176,400,000 + $235,200,000 + $144,400,000 = $695,400,000

standard deviation = √$895,800,000 = $26,370

2) Calculate the expected return and variance of investing in bonds.

expected return:

$30,000 x 0.4 = $12,000

<u>$40,000 x 0.6 = $24,000   </u>

expected return = $36,000

$30,000 - $36,000 = -$6,000² = $36,000,000

<u>$40,000 - $36,000 = $4,000² = $16,000,000</u>

<u />

expected variance: (0.4 x $36,000,000) + (0.6 x $16,000,000) = $14,400,000 + $9,600,000 = $24,000,000

standard deviation = √$24,000,000 = $4,899

3) Based on the expected return we should choose investing in a building, but if we consider the variance and the standard deviation of the investments, I would choose investing in bonds. The difference in expected returns is not that large (only $2,000) but the variance and standard deviations of investing in the office buildings is quite large, meaning that the risk is very high.

Kaylis [27]

Answer:

Total dollar Annual Cost = $300,000

Explanation:

  • Total loan Commitment = 9000000
  • Borrowed Fund (Used Portion) = 6000000
  • Unused Portion (9000000 - 6000000) = 3000000
  • Annual Commitment Fee for unused Portion = 0.50%
  • Commitment Fee = 3000000 x 0.05% = 15000
  • Borrowed Fund (Used Portion) = 6000000
  • Interest Rate (3.25% + 1.5%) = 4.75%
  • Interest Cost (6000000 x 4.75%) = 285000

Total dollar Annual Cost (15000 + 285000) = $300,000
