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

puteri [66]

Answer:

1. Equity valuation in 2018/= $108,100

2. Net income based on fair value = $7,900

Answer:

A. Equity valuation

2017 net income:

Net income = 40% x $41,750 = $16,700

Less dividend = 40% x $14,000 = -$5,600

Net transferrable income = $11,100

2018 net income:

Net income = 40% x $64,000 = $25,600

Less dividend = 40% x $19,000 = -$7,600

Net transferrable income = $18,000

Investment Valuation:

Year 0 = $79,100

Year 1 = $79,000 + $11,100 = $90,100

Year 2 = $90,100 + $18,000 = $108,100

B.

Fair Valuation method

Closing valuation = $99,000

Less Opening valuation = $91,900

Income recognized in 2018 = $7,100

Explanation:

The equity method of investment valuation requires that the Net Income accruing to the Investee be added to his investment cost and the dividend thereof (if any) be deducted from the same. This gives an equity valuation of the invested sum

fair value on the other hand is based upon the understanding of the market by the parties to a deal; and it's a value the market is thus willing to give in exchange for the shares in hand.
