Answer:

Project A is more valuable than Project B given a positive discount rate.

Explanation:

Let us assume the Discount Rate be r and cash flow for year n be CFn

Also

Let us assume initial Investment be X

So,  

NPV = ΣCFn ÷ (1+r)^n

NPVA = - X + 6500 ÷ (1 + r) + 4500 ÷ (1+r)^2 + 2500 ÷ (1+r)^3

NPVB = - X + 2500 ÷ (1+r) + 4500 ÷ (1+r)^2 + 6500 ÷ (1+r)^3  

NPVA - NPVB = - X + 6500 ÷ (1+r) + 4500 ÷ (1+r)^2 + 2500 ÷ (1+r)^3 - (- X + 2500 ÷ (1+r) + 4500 ÷ (1+r)^2 + 6500 ÷ (1+r)^3)

= 4000 ÷ (1+r) - 4000 ÷ (1+r)^3 = 4000(1 ÷ (1+r) - 1 ÷ (1+r)^3)

In the case when

Ir > 0, 1 ÷ (1+r) > 1 ÷ (1+r)^3

So,  

NPVA - NPVB > 0 => NPVA > NPVB

antoniya [11.8K]

The statement "in the cost approach to valuation, land value can be estimated by comparing sales of vacant land that are similar to the subject land" is true.

On January 1, 2017, Culver Company issued 10-year, $2,140,000 face value, 6% bonds, at par. Each $1,000 bond is convertible into
Dvinal [7]

Answer:

a) diluted earnings per share = 0

Explanation:

Diluted earnings per share (DEPS) is a recalculation of the basic EPS. The difference between DEPS and EPS is, EPS represents the current position of earnings per share. No changes in number shares and/or earnings in the future are incorporated in the basic EPS.

Whereas DEPS is a representation of  not only the current position of earnings and shares but also includes the commitments an entity has already made whose occurrence may result in an increase/decrease in the amount of earnings and/or number of shares. For example, in the question Culver Company has issued 10-year convertible bonds which right now have no impact on basic EPS but if in the future these bond holders exercise their right of conversion, this would result in an increase in number of ordinary shares hence decreasing/diluting the basic EPS. The entities use DEPS to show shareholders the impact of such commitments on the basic EPS to improve their decision making.

So in 2017 none of the bonds were converted therefore no diluted earnings per share is calculated in 2017.

If all of the bonds were converted in 2017 the DEPS would have been calculated as follows:

The formula for calculating DEPS is as follows;

DEPS = (Net income + interest savings) ÷ number of ordinary shares + increase in ordinary shares as a result of conversion.

Tax savings as a result of conversion=$128400 ($2140000×6%). Because if bond holders convert into ordinary shares then Culver company will not have to pay them interest and hence the amount of interest is saved.

Increase in ordinary shares upon conversion= 29960 ($2140000÷$1000=2140 bonds. Each bond is convertible into 14 shares therefore, 2140×14=29960).

Now Lets calculate DEPS as follows;

DEPS = ($296000+$128400) ÷ 91000+29960

DEPS =$424400÷120960

DEPS = $3.5

Suppose, that after a successful career, a worker retired precisely as planned with precisely the amount saved that they intende
IgorC [24]

Answer: Yes it is

Explanation:

The Permanent Income Hypothesis posits that human expenditure in the short term is based on the amount of income they expect to get as income over the long term.

If a person for instance, knows that they will receive a pay cut at the end of the year, they will probably spend less today to survive the pay cut.

Same goes for the worker in this scenario. They know that the amount they saved is all they have now and into the future so they are adjusting their expenses to ensure they survive on that saving.

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer: 0

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that a customer has an existing short margin account and wants to write five covered puts against 500 shares of stock that are short in the account.

Based on the above scenario, the margin requirement to write the puts will be zero. This is due to the fact that there is no risk that is attached to the short calls.
