Answer:
The NPV from opening the branch office is negative ( -$106668.08). Thus the branch office should not be opened.
Explanation:
The decision to open the branch office will be taken based on the NPV provided by opening of the branch office. If the NPV of a project is positive based on the required rate of return used as a discount rate fro cash flows, the investment is worth undertaking.
The net present value (NPV) for a project can be calculated as,
NPV = CF1 / (1+r) + CF2 / (1+r)² + ... + CFn / (1+r)^n - Initial Outlay
Where,
- r is the appropriate discount rate
- Initial Outlay is the Initial cost of the project
- CF represents cash flows from the project
As the required return is 16%, we will take this as the appropriate discount rate.
NPV = 45000 / (1+0.16) + 120000 / (1+0.16)² + 150000 / (1+0.16)³ +
150000 / (1+0.16)^4 + 150000 / (1+0.16)^5 - 485000
NPV = - $106668.08
As the NPV from project is negative at a required return of 16%, the project should not be under taken and the branch office should not be open.
Answer:
$3.2 million
Explanation:
The revenue and gross profit or loss which the company identify in the first and second year if it recognizes revenue upon contract completion is calculated below.
Total costs = Incurred costs + estimated costs to complete = $8 million + $12 million = $20 million
Revenue to recognize = $8m/$20m*$28m = $11.2 million
Gross Profit = Revenue recognized less costs incurred
= $11.2m - $8m = $3.2 million
Answer:
discount yield=7.17%
bond equivalent yield=7.34%
effective annual yield =7.64%
Explanation:
Discount yield =discount /face value*360/t
where t is the number of days to maturity
discount =face value -issue price
discount=100-97.63
discount=2.37
discount yield =2.37/100*360/119
discount yield=7.17%
bond equivalent yield=(1+periodic yield)^360/t-1
periodic yield =discount/face value=2.37/100=2.37%
bond equivalent yield =(1+2.37%)^(360/119)-1
bond equivalent yield=7.34%
effective annual yield=(1+HPY)^365/t-1
Holding period yield (HPY)=discount/price=2.37/97.63
HPY=2.43%
effective annual yield=(1+2.43%)^(365/119)-1
effective annual yield =7.64%
