Answer:
A. Decrease
Explanation:
In investment appraisal with the method of Net Present Value, the bone of contention and the central matter is the TIME VALUE OF MONEY.
In the above scenario, the initial working capital was 100% released in proportions of 40%, 40% and 20%, throughout the 3 years of the project. However, if the reverse had been the case, i.e. parting with more cash now and the requirement of working capital now becomes: Year 0 = -10,000, Year 1 = - 10,000, Year 2 = -10,000, Year 3 = +30,000; the NPV would definitely shrink because the value of 10,000 each in Years 0-2 would not be the same when it is recovered from the project in year 3. The value will be smaller and hence the NPV of the project would have decreased as a result of the time value of money.
Answer:
<em>False</em>
Explanation:
<em>Subprime lending means lending to borrowers and charging interest that is </em><u><em>above</em></u><em> the current prime interest rate. </em>
The <em>current prime interest</em> refers to the rate offered to the best credit rated customers based on their credit history. This rate is lower as it is meant to be an attraction for the customers who are good credit payers and takers.
The <em>sub-prime lending</em> refers to giving loans at a rate higher than current prime interest rate to the borrowers who are lower on credit rating. This lending takes on higher risk and hence thereby charges higher interest from the borrowers.
Answer:
2
Explanation:
According to the law of demand, the higher the price, the lower the quantity demanded and the lower the price, the higher the quantity demanded.
If the price of the ticket is reduced, the quantity demanded would increase
If on the other hand, prices are increased, the quantity demanded would reduce.
Answer:
The correct answer is B.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Initial investment= $270,000
Cash flow= $60,000
Number of years= 5
Discount rate= 12%
<u>To calculate the net present value (NPV), we need to use the following formula:</u>
NPV= -Io + ∑[Cf/(1+i)^n]
∑[Cf/(1+i)^n]:
Cf1= 60,000/1.12= 53,571.43
Cf2= 60,000/1.12^2= 47,831.63
.....
Cf5= 60,000/1.12^5= 34,045.61
∑[Cf/(1+i)^n]= 216,286.57
<u>Now, the NPV:</u>
NPV= -270,000 + 216,286.57
NPV= -53,713.43
Shareholders' Equity = Assets – Liabilities where the rearrangement reflects the residual claim of equity owners.
