4 of 5) What is a good way to stay diversified?

A company estimates that the appropriate discount rate (i.e., the cost of capital) for Project A, Project B, Project C and Proje

aliina [53]

Answer:

a. Project A requires an up-front expenditure of $1,000,000 and generates a net present value of $3,200.

Explanation:

a.

The company should accept project A because it provides a positive net present value of $3,200 that is the highest among all the projects.

b.

When the IRR of a project is lower than the required rate of return of the project, it will generate the negative net present value because at IRR the net present value of the project will be zero and at a higher rate than IRR it will be negative.

c.

The project with a profitability index of less than 1 generates a negative NPV because the present value of future cash flows is less than the initial cash outflow.

d.

Project D also generates a positive net present value but it is lower than project A. So, after comparing the results we will choose the project with higher NPV.

Land, a building and equipment are acquired for a lump sum of $1,000,000. The market values of the land, building and equipment

sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

The answer is option (b). $250,000

Explanation:

Step 1: Determine total market value

The expression for the total market value is;

Total market value=land value+building value+equipment value

where;

land value=$300,00

building value=$600,000

equipment value=$300,000

replacing;

Total market value=(300,000+600,000+300,000)=$1,200,000

Total market value=$1,200,000

Step 2: Determine fraction of the total market value that is equipment

Equipment fraction=equipment value/total market value

where;

equipment value=$300,000

total market value=$1,200,000

replacing;

Equipment fraction=300,000/1,200,000=0.25

Step 3: Determine cost assigned to the equipment

Cost assigned to the equipment=equipment fraction×lump sum

where;

equipment fraction=0.25

lump sum=$1,000,000

replacing;

Cost assigned to the equipment=(0.25×1,000,000)=250,000

Cost assigned to the equipment=$250,000

Lincoln Park Co. has a bond outstanding with a coupon rate of 6.04 percent and semiannual payments. The yield to maturity is 6.1

Reil [10]

Answer:

value of the bond = $2,033.33

Explanation:

We know,

Value of the bond, $B_{0} = [I * \frac{1 - (1 + i)^{-n}}{i}] + \frac{FV}{(1 + i)^n}$

Here,

Face value of par value, FV = $2,000

Coupon payment, I = Face value or Par value × coupon rate

Coupon payment, I = $2,000 × 6.04%

Coupon payment, I = $128

yield to maturity, i = 6.1% = 0.061

number of years, n = 15

Therefore, putting the value in the formula, we can get,

$B_{0} = [128 * \frac{1 - (1 + 0.061)^{-7}}{0.061}] + [\frac{2,000}{(1 + 0.061)^7}]$

or, $B_{0} = [128 * \frac{1 - (1.061)^{-7}}{0.061}] + [\frac{2,000}{(1.061)^7}]$

or, $B_{0} = [128 * \frac{0.3393}{0.061}] + 1,321.3635$

or, $B_{0} = [128 * 5.5623] + 1,321.3635$

or, $B_{0} =$ $711.9738 + 1,321.3635

Therefore, value of the bond = $2,033.33

Carla has $10,000 that she would like to save for retirement.

coldgirl [10]

Answer:

higher, stocks, flunctuates, risk, bonds, interest

Explanation:

The chosen responses are the best from the options provided. First, to earn a higher long-term rate of return, stocks offer a higher interest rate than bonds and the reason being that they are riskier.

Stocks belong to the owners of an organisation and as such, they are only entitled to interest after the interests of bond owners and preference stock holders have been settled. Meaning, despite the higher rates of interest offered, it is riskier to be a stock holder than a bond holder

Bond on the other hand, are not equity or company ownership units, they represent debts that the company must pay fixed interest rates on. Although we have the convertible to stock and the non-convertible bonds. However, bonds may be safer due to the fixed interest rates that must be paid but interests are lesser than stocks and irrespective of a company's profitability, a bond holder is only entitled to the fixed interest rate unlike the stock holder who enjoys higher dividends as a result of improved profitability.
