Answer: B. There are two IRRs so you cannot use the IRR as a criterion for accepting the opportunity.

Explanation:

The Internal Rate of Return can be useful in capital budgeting to enable a company know if an investment will be profitable. It is defined as the discount rate that causes the Net Present Value(NPV) to be zero. If the IRR is greater than the required return then the project should be accepted as it will have a profitable NPV.

IRR has some problems however and one of them is reflected here. There can sometimes be two IRRs and when this happens, using IRR as a viability measure cannot be done because a single rate is needed for comparison with the required return.

elena55 [62]

Answer:

Promissory agreement and Deed of trust.

Explanation:

In this scenario, Seller Dayne was made aware by the trustee that the lender was wanting to proceed with foreclosure on his property. The type of financial agreement that Seller Dayne have with this lender is a Promissory agreement and Deed of trust.

A promissory agreement can be defined as an evidence of a debt and as such involves the use of a legal financial tool such as a promissory note as a written promise to declare that a party (borrower) would pay another (lender) at a specific period of time.

On the other hand, a deed of trust can be defined as a legal document used by a party (borrower) to pledge his or her property to another party (lender) as guarantee or collateral for the repayment of a loan. The deed of trust is typically made up of three (3) parties; the lender, borrower and a trustee.

Additionally, a foreclosure on a property refers to a legal procedure whereby the property being pledged by a borrower for a debt is sold to pay off the debt as a result of defaulting in payments or terms with respect to a loan.

You are 20 years old and have completed your BBA and want to pursue further education but you don’t want to take money from your
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

1. Will you be able to meet your goal at this current saving rate?

  • yes, you will even have some spare money

annual cost of MBA = 400,000 x 2 years = 800,000

monthly salary = 25,000 and you will deposit 12,500

ordinary annuity, 0.8333%, 59 periods (5 years - 1 month) = 75.80535

the future value of your account = 12,500 x 75.80535 = 947,566.88 which is more than the cost of the MBA

2. What percentage of your salary should you save if you want to have exactly your university expenses amount?

  • 42.2138%

800,000 / 75.80535 = 10,553.34

10,553.34 / 25,000 = 0.422138 = 42.2138%

3. How would your answer to part 1 change if the saving account rate changed to 5%?

  • actually you still have more money than what you need even if the interest rate falls to 5%, so you can still take your MBA

monthly salary = 25,000 and you will deposit 12,500

ordinary annuity, 0.41666%, 59 periods (5 years - 1 month) = 66.72805

the future value of your account = 12,500 x 66.72805 = 834,100.63 which is more than the cost of the MBA

4. If you are given an option to invest at the 10% saving rate with monthly compounding or 10.5% semiannual compounding, which would you chose?

  • I would choose the 10.5% semiannual compounding because the effective interest rate is higher.

the effective interest rate of investing at 10% compounded monthly = (1 + 10%/12)¹² - 1 = 10.47%

the effective interest rate of investing at 10.5% compounded semiannually = (1 + 10.5%/2)² - 1 = 10.77%

vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

By answering more phone calls but providing worse service, you ARE being EFFICIENT but NOT <u>SATISFY CUSTOMERS' NEEDS</u>.

Explanation:

A worker's efficiency is measured by the total output per hour of labor. In this case, since you are answering more calls per hour, your efficiency is increasing (higher output per hour).

The quality of the service provided by a worker's is measured by the quality of their output (or performance), and if you satisfy your customers' needs. Since the service that you are providing is not that good, then your quality levels are decreasing.

You may be producing more services, but the services produced lack good quality.
