I'd say B, by leasing the car he'd save more money if it broke down or stopped functioning properly and if that happened he could lease a different car instead of paying multiple times to fix things that would most likely break down again because he owned it.
Answer:
Project A
Years Cashflows Discount factor Present values
0 250,000 1 -250,000
1-10 45,100 6.144 277,094.40
Sum of all present value=NPV=27,094.40
IRR (by using trial and error method) = 12.4696%
Note: Discount factor for the year 1-10 is calculated by using annuity formula i.e [1-(1+10%)]/10% = 6.144
Project B
Years Cashflows Discount factor Present values
0 (350,000) 1 (350,000)
1 72,500 0.91 65,975
2 65,500 0.83 54,365
3 73,800 0.75 55,350
4 71,500 0.68 48,620
5 69,800 0.62 43,276
6 75,500 0.56 42,280
7 31,000 0.51 15,810
8 47,500 0.47 22,325
9 55,500 0.42 23,310
10 29,200 0.38 11,096
Sum of all present values=NPV=32,407
IRR(by using trial and error method=12.4186%
On the basis of NPV project B is better because it gives higher NPV than project A. Whereas, Project A is better than project B on the basis of IRR because project A has slightly higher IRR than project B.
b)The conflict between both the investment appraisal technique is likely due to different cash flow patterns of both the project. In such situation decision should be based on NPV because this is an absolute measure
Answer:
9.98%
Explanation:
Yield to maturity is the annual rate of return that an investor receives if a bond bond is held until the maturity. It is a long term return which is expressed in annual term.
As per given data
Annual Payment = $500
Current price = $5,012
$500 payment each year for indefinite period of time is a perpetuity, value of perpetuity can be calculated as follow
Current Price = Annual Payment / Yield to maturity
Yield to maturity = Annual Payment / Current Price
Yield to maturity = ( Annual payment / Current price ) x 100
Yield to maturity = ( $500 / $5,012 ) x 100
Yield to maturity = 0.0998 x 100
Yield to maturity = 9.98%
