Answer:

3 1/3 years

Explanation:

Payback period is the time required for the inflows from a project to be equal to the initial outflow for the project. It is a key consideration in capital budgeting. It is usually assumed that the outlay or initial outflow is made in year 0 and the first inflow comes in after a year.

Year       Cash outflow      Cash inflow           Balance

0                ($50,000)                   -                ($50,000)

1                         -                   $15,000           ($35,000)

2                        -                    $15,000          ($20,000)

3                        -                    $15,000           ($5,000)

4                      -                      $15,000           $10,000

5                       -                    $15,000            $25,000

Hence the payback period

= 3 years and 5000/15000 * 12 months

= 3 years 4 months

= 3 1/3 years

enot [183]

Answer:

-$18,375

Explanation:

The computation of the net present value is shown below;

In the case when the operating cash flow is $56,200 for 5 years and the rate of return is 15.2% so the present value is $187,502 by using the financial calculator

In the case when the net after tax salvage value is $67,000 for the 5 year  and the rate of return is 15.2% so the present value is $33,023 by using the financial calculator

Now the net present value is

= $18,7502 + $33,023 - $238,900

= -$18,375

Northwest Iron and Steel is considering getting involved in electronic commerce. A modest e-commerce package is available for $3
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

$8,693

Explanation:

Effective annual interets rate: AI = (1+i/m)^n - 1

i = 3*2=6%, m = 26

AI = [1+6%/26]^26 - 1

AI = 1.0617 - 1

AI = 0.0617

Let semi annual income be $X. So, present value of four semiannual income will be aggregated to get principal invetsed money of $30,000

30,000 = ∑[X/1.0617^n}

30,000 = 3.451 * X

X = 8693.132425383947

X = $8,693

Therefore, firm have to earn $8,693 after every 6 months at an interest rate of 3% per week to recover $30,000 initial investment in 2 years

Suppose you are an economist for Mattel, manufacturer of the doll Barbie, which was making an unsolicited bid to take over Hasbr
lord [1]

Answer:

a.           1. You would want the regulatory boards to see more competition, so you would argue that the relevant market is all toys, which is as broad as possible. This would make it less likely that the merger would violate merger guidelines.

b.          2. You would want to use the narrowest definition of the market, which would be dolls. This would make it more likely that the merger would violate merger guidelines.

Explanation:

a. In order to avoid anti-trust laws, it would be best that Mattel convinces the authorities that the relevant category is all toys not just a subsection. This will show that the toys made by the new company would have a lot of competition from other toy makers across the board which would reduce their chances of being a monopoly and violate merger guidelines.

b. As the bid is unsolicited, Hasbro might want to defend against it. In which case their strategy should be the exact opposite of that of Mattel and they should try to convince the regulatory boards that they would be in the narrowest of markets which would be dolls. This would mean that the merger has a strong chance of leading to a monopoly and would violate merger guidelines.
