Consider the following two mutually exclusive projects: Year Cash Flow (A) Cash Flow (B) 0 –$ 343,000 –$ 50,000 1 52,000 24,700

2 72,000 22,700 3 72,000 20,200 4 447,000 15,300 Whichever project you choose, if any, you require a return of 16 percent on your investment. a-1 What is the payback period for each project? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

Answer:

The payback period for each of the project is - project A = 3.33 and project B = 2.13

Explanation:

First of all the payback period means the amount of time it would take for  a company to recover its initial cost or investment which it has invested in the project .

<u>Calculating the payback period for project A</u>

Year   Cash flow      Cumulative    Discounting     Present    Discounted

                                 cash flow        factor              value        cumulative flow

( NOTE - Formula used for discounting factor = 1 / (1 + i)^n, where i = 16% which is the rate of return on the investment and n is the number of years.)

0   -$343,000       -$343,000          1                  -$343,000         -$343,000

1     $52,000         -$291,000          .86206         $44,828           -$298,172

2    $72,000          -$219,000         .74314            $53,508         -$244,665

3    $72,000          -$147,000         .64063            $46,127         -$198,537

4    $447,000         $300,000        .55226           $2,46,874        $48,337

Now we will in which year the cash flow was last negative and then in that we will add ( cumulative cash flow of the year it was last negative / cash flow of the next period ).

= 3 + $147,000 / $447,000

= 3.33 ( payback period for project A )

<u>Calculating the payback period for project B</u>

Year   Cash flow      Cumulative    Discounting     Present    Discounted                                                              

                                   cash flow       factor              value         cash flow

0        -$50,000         -$50,000         1                   -$50,000    -$50,000

1          $24,700          -$25,300         .86206        $21,293       -$28,707

2         $22,700          -$2600            .74314          $16,869      - $11,838

3         $20,200          $17,600           . 64063        $12,941        $1013

4         $15,300           $32,900          .55226         $8,450        $9463

Now we will in which year the cash flow was last negative and then in that we will add ( cumulative cash flow of the year it was last negative / cash flow of the next period ).

= 2 + 2600 / 20,200

= 2.13 ( payback period for project B)

Roll over each item on the left to read the description. Identify whether each of the statements is an argument for or an argume
Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

<u>Floating exchange rate</u>

Here the market decides the value of the currency as it trade freely in the market based on supply and demand.

Argument For;

Market Based - It is market based therefore it reflects the true value of the currency.

Argument Against;

Uncertainty -  As it trades according to the whims of supply and demand, telling which direction it will go in terms of value is a difficult undertaking therefore financial decisions based on such are riskier.

<u>Fixed exchange rate</u>

Here the value of the currency is fixed either to the value of another currency or to the price of gold.

Argument For;

No Uncertainty -  As the currency is tied to another currency which is usually more stable or gold, the rate of the currency is more predictable.

Argument Against;

Unknown Elements

<u>Managed float</u>

In this exchange rate regime, the Central bank of a country intervenes in the Foreign exchange market to push or pull the currency in the direction that it prefers.

Argument For;

Government intervention - The Government Intervention ensures that the currency's value remains stable as well as allowing the Central bank to maintain a good balance of payments.

Argument Against;

Difficult - Maintaining the currency within the band preferred in a difficult undertaking that requires constant intervention in the Forex market.

<u>Pegged exchange rate</u>

The Central bank in this instance pegs the currency to a basket of currencies after setting an exchange rate it would prefer and then intervenes in forex market to keep it that way.

Argument For;

Reduces uncertainty - The movement of the currency is more predictable due to it being pegged to a basket of currencies.

Argument Against;

Continual government intervention - As this requires the currency to remain at a certain value, the government will keep intervening to ensure that it stays at that exact level.

<u>Target zone</u>

Here the Central Bank allows the currency to fluctuate on the market albeit with limits placed on how much it can do so.

Argument For;

Fluctuation with limits - By combining fixed regimes with floating regimes, the currency can maintain a semblance of true value whilst still be less uncertain.

Argument Against;

Limited options.

Owen expects to receive $ 25,000 at the end of next year from a trust fund. If a bank loans money at an interest rate of 7.1 %​,
Rzqust [24]

Answer: He could borrow from one of the following options:

(a) $18,605

(b) $11,428

(d) $20,000

Explanation:

If Owen borrows $18,605

Bank interest rate = 7.1% of $18,605

=7.1/100 ×$18,605

=$1, 320.955

Owen's debt at his bank=

$18,605+$1,320.9555 =

$19,925.955

When Owen receives the trust fund of $25,000, he can pay his debt and still has $5,074.045 with him.

If Owen borrows $11,428

Bank interest rate = 7.1% × $11,428

=$811. 388

Owen's debt at his bank=

$811.388+$11,428 =

$12,239.388

When Owen receives the trust fund of $25,000, he can pay his debt and still has $12,760.612 left with him.

If Owen borrows $20,000

Bank interest rate =7.1% of $20,000

=7.1/100 ×$20,000

=$1, 420

Owen's debt at his bank=

$20,000 + $1,420 = $21,420

When Owen receives the trust fund of $25,000, he can pay his debt at his bank and still has $3,580 left with him.
