Answer:
a) $3,458
Explanation:
The net present value is the present value of future cash flows discounted at the firm's weighted average cost of capital(which is the appropriate discount rate in this case) minus the initial investment outlay
cost of equity=risk-free rate+beta*(expected market return-risk free rate)
cost of equity=2.5%+1.5*(12%-2.5%)
cost of equity=16.75%
after-tax cost of debt=5.2%*(1-21%)
after-tax cost of debt=4.11%
WACC=(weight of equity*cost of equity)+(weight of debt*after-tax cost of debt)
weight of equity=value of equity/(value of equity+value of debt)
value of equity=6 billion*$3=$18 billion
value of debt=$5 billion
weight of equity=$18 billion/($18 billion+$5 billion)
weight of equity=78.26%
weight of debt=1-78.26%
weight of debt=21.74%
WACC=(78.26%*16.75%)+(21.74%*4.11%)
WACC=14.00%
present value of a future cash flow=future cash flow/(1+WACC)^n
n is the year in which the cash flow is expected, it is 1 for year 1 cash flow, 2 for year 2 cash flow ,and so on
NPV of project B=1000/(1+14%)^1+1000/(1+14%)^2++4000/(1+14%)^3+1000/(1+14%)^4+1000/(1+14%)^5-2000
NPV of project B=$ 3,458.00
Answer: 20,816.215
Explanation:
Given that:
A deposit of $1000 at 4% interest compounding is defined by the growth function:
v(t) = 1000e^0.04t
Where t = number of years.
Find the average value during the first 40 years (that is, from time 0 to time 40.)
(That is t = 0,...,40)
For ease, we can use a python list comprehension to get our values.
v = [1000*2.7182818**0.04*t for t in range(41)]
V gives a list of the value of the deposit from year 0 till 40 years after the deposit.
Average = sum of compounding deposits / number of years
Sum of compounding deposits = sum(v) = $853464.8344
Number of years = len(v) = 41
Hence, average = $853464.8344 / 41
Average = $20,816.215
Answer:
Multiple IRRs:
Said another way, Multiple IRRs occur when a project has more than one <em>internal rate of return.</em> The problem arises where a project has non-normal cash flow (non-conventional cash flow pattern).
Internal rate of return (IRR) is one of the most commonly used capital budgeting tools. Investors make decisions by comparing the IRR of the project under consideration with the <em>hurdle rate</em>. If the IRR is greater than the hurdle rate, the project is accepted, otherwise it is rejected. When there are more than two IRRs, it is not exactly clear which IRR to compare with the hurdle rate.
Hurdle rate is the minimum required rate of return which businesses use as a benchmark to decide whether to invest in a project or not.
<em>So a typical situation which can generate negative cashflows which can in turn lead to multiple IRRs towards the end of the project is where the conditions of investment become adverse towards the end of the project.</em>
Imagine that toward the end of the lifecycle of a project, a forecasted increase external costs such as Interest Rate, influenced by government policies translates to an erosion of the bottom line generated by the business in that year.
Period 0 1 3 3 4 5
Unconventional cash flows ($)-19,000 16,000 16,000 6,000 6,000 -52,000
The series is non-conventional cash-flow pattern, which has two sign changes. This is the range in which the net present value of the non-conventional cash flow series is positive. The multiple IRR problem poses a series problem to analysts because the decision is not obvious.

There would a shift to the right of the supply curve. The equilibrium price would decrease and the equilibrium quantity would increase.
<h3>What is the impact of technological improvement?</h3>
Technological improvement in the production process means that there is an advancement or update in the technologies that are used in the production process. For example, progress from storing information in files to storing information in the cloud is an example of technological improvement.
A technological improvement in the production of a good would make it easier to produce a good. Thus, the supply curve would move forward.
Equilibrium quantity would increase. Due to the increase in quantity supplied, price has to decline in order to induce consumers to buy more of the product. Equilibrium price would decrease.

<span>Each of these mentioned factors with few variations will
influence the business buying decision process. One or more changes in these
might lead to a different result. These factors can also operate in different
ways varying from person to another person.</span></span>
