Agreeing to purchase goods in installments over a period of time is the foundation of hire purchase. It is almost identical to an installment plan, except that in a hire purchase, the seller owns the goods until you make the final payment (like lease-to-own or rent-to-own).

X-treme Vitamin Company is considering two investments, both of which cost $10,000. The cash flows are as follows:Year Project A
liq [111]

Answer:

A) Project A = 0.83 year

B) NPV of Project B = $14,609.66

C) Answer B

Explanation:

Requirement A

We know,

Payback period = Last year with negative cumulative cash flows + (Absolute value of last year's cumulative cash flow ÷ Cash flow of the following year's negative cumulative cash flow)

Or, Payback period = A + ( B ÷ C)

                             Project A                                       Project B

Year   Cash Flow   Cumulative Cash Flow    Cash Flow  Cumulative Cash Flow

0 (A)   -$10,000      -$10,000 (B)                     -$10,000        -$10,000 (B)

1           $12,000 (C)      2,000                           $10,000(C)                 0

2              8,000         10,000                               6,000             6,000

3              6,000         16,000                              16,000           22,000

Payback period for project A = 0 + ($10,000 ÷ 12,000) = 0 + 0.833 = 0.83 year

Payback period for project B = 0 + ($10,000 ÷ 10,000) = 0 + 1 = 1 year

X-treme Vitamin Company should choose project A because it can return the investment earlier than project B.

Requirement B

We can use excel to find the Net Present Value for both the projects with a cost of capital of 10%.

The following image shows the NPV for project A and B.

From the calculation of NPV, X-treme Vitamin Company should choose project B as that project yields more present cash flows.

Requirement C

A firm should generally have more confidence in answer b because money can produce more logical sense than a year. Yes, it is easy to understand how many years a company will need to get back its cash flow. Still, the present value of cash flows provides a more specific evaluation of how to utilize the initial investment.

A businessman in New York is preparing an itinerary for a visit to seven major cities. The distance traveled, and hence the cost
enot [183]

Answer:

The answer is 5,040.

There are 5,040 different possible itineraries.

Explanation:

The number of different possible itineraries equals the number of the selection of 7 cities from a total of 7 cities where order is important.

We solve thus:

N = P^{7}_{7} = \frac{7!}{(7 - 7)!}

   = \frac{7!}{0!}

   = 7!

   = 7 X 6 X 5 X 4 X 3 X 2 X 1

   = 5,040

Suppose that the market portfolio is equally likely to increase by 24% or decrease by 8%. Security "X" goes up on average by 29%
Alex

Answer:

The expected return on security with a beta of 0.8 is closest to 7.2%.

Explanation:

This can be determined as follows:

Since the return of security Z remains at 4% despite the change in the market, security Z is the risk-free asset.

Note that a risk free asset is an asset which its returns does not change with change in the market.

Using the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) formula, we have:

Er = Rf + (B * MPR) ............................................ (1)

Where;

ER = Expected return = ?

Rf = Risk-free rate = Rate of return of security z = 4%

B = Beta = 0.8

MPR = Market risk premium = Expected return on the market rate - Risk-free rate

Expected return on the market rate = (50% * 24%) + (50% *(-8%)) = 8%

Therefore, we have:

MPR = 8% - 4% = 4%

Substituting the values into equation (1), we have

Er = 4% + (0.8 * 4%)

Er = 0.072, or 7.2%

Therefore, the expected return on security with a beta of 0.8 is closest to 7.2%.
