Answer:

(Note please, the background of L.L. Bean was not stated. I am answering on a general note.)

L.L. Bean empowered its employees to make independent decisions that ultimately have financial consequences so as to save time needed to consult superior authorities for directions.

Explanation:

In the course of business, some customers might have needs and inquiries that have to be responded to on the spot so that they do not lose their patience and move to other competitors.

When an organization empowers its employees to make independent decisions that might affect the company financially, it is in a bid to serve the customers better by saving their time. This also instills trust and confidence in the company because the employees are knowledgeable of their services.

Radda [10]

Answer:

No; The IRR is less than the required return.

Explanation:

Calculation of IRR is given by the formula: Lr x NPVL / NPVL - NPVH x (Hr - Lr)

where

Lr = Lower rate of discount

Hr = Higher rate of discount

NPVH = NPV at Higher discount rate

NPVL = NPV at Lower discount rate

Assume a low discount rate of 1% and a high rate of 20%

NPV at 1%

Particulars Year 0 Year 1 Year 2 Year 3

Cash flows 152,000 71,800 86,900 (11,200)

DCF 1% 1 0.99 0.98 0.97

Present values (152,000) 71,082 85,162 (10,864)

NPV = $6,620

NPV at 20%

Particulars Year 0 Year 1 Year 2 Year 3

Cash flows 152,000 71,800 86,900 (11,200)

DCF 20% 1 0.83 0.69 0.58

Present values (152,000) 59,594 59,961 (6,496)

NPV = ($38,941)

Substituting values in the IRR formula we have:

1% x [($6,620 / ($6620 - (38,941))] x (20% - 1%) = 2.06%

Therefore we reject the project because it gives an IRR lower than the required rate of return of 15.5%

Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

$M_1 = $3111$

$M_2 = $12409$

Explanation:

Given data:

Amount of currency held = $1347 billion

checkable deposit $1347 billion

saving deposit $8189 billion

small time deposit $400 billion

market fund $709 billion

Saving deposit in the form M2 and M1

M_1 = currency held as individual and traveller check + checkable deposit

= $1347 + $1764

$M_1 = $3111$

M_2 = M_1 + saving deposit _ time deposit + maket funds

= $3111 + $8189 + $400 + $709

$M_2 = $12409$

AnnyKZ [126]

Cost of machine = $1,000

$NPV of revenues = p( \frac{1- (1+RoR)^{-n} }{RoR} )$ = $600( \frac{1- (1+0.1)^{-3} }{0.1} )$ = $1,492.11

$NPV of salvage value = FV ( \frac{1}{ (1+RoR)^{n} }$ )= $100( \frac{1}{ (1+0.1)^{3} } )$ = $75.13

Total NPV = -1000+1492.11+75.13 = $567.24 ≈ $567
