Answer:

both companies should invest because the NPV of both companies are positive

Explanation:

Net present value is the present value of after-tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.  

NPV can be calculated using a financial calculator  

Only projects with a positive NPV should be accepted. A project with a negative NPV should not be chosen because it isn't profitable.  

When choosing between positive NPV projects, choose the project with the highest NPV first because it is the most profitable.

Cash flow in year 0 = - $8.4 million

Cash flow in year 1-7 =  $2.2 million

NPV of Lester with I of 15.8% = 0.54 million

NPV of Med Inc with I of 13.7% = 1.12 million

To find the NPV using a financial calculator:

1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

2. after inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.  

3. Press compute

a type of long term permanent financing for residential construction or large construction projects, that replaces the construct
shepuryov [24]

A type of long term permanent financing for residential construction or large construction projects, that replaces the construction loan is called a takeout loan.

<h3>What is a takeout loan?</h3>

A takeout loan is a method of financing whereby a loan that is procured later is used to replace the initial loan.

More specifically, a takeout loan, or takeout financing, is long-term financing that the lender promises to provide at a particular date or when particular criteria for completion of a project are met.

A take-out loan provides a long-term mortgage or loan on a property that "takes out" an existing loan.

The take-out loan will replace interim financing, such as replacing a construction loan with a fixed-term mortgage.

If the take-out loan is used to finance a rental or income-generating property, the take-out lender may be entitled to a portion of the rents earned.

The College Bookstore sells a unique calculator to college students. The demand for this calculator has a normal distribution wi
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

Option (A) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mean daily demand, M = 20 calculators per day

Standard deviation, SD = 4 calculators per day

Lead time for this calculator, L = 9 days

z-critical value (for 95% in-stock probability) = 1.65 (From z tables)

Normal consumption during lead-time:

= Mean daily demand × Lead time

= 20 × 9

= 180 units of calculator

Safety Stock = z value × SD × L^(0.5)

                     = 1.65 × 4 × (9)^(0.5)

                     = 1.65 × 4 × 3

                     = 19.8 units

Reorder Point = Normal consumption during lead-time + Safety Stock

                        = 180 units  + 19.8 units

                        = 199.8 or 200 units (Approx)

= $535 - $97

= $438

Therefore, Antoine's tax basis in the stock received in the exchange is $438.
