elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer: Both will raise the same amount

Explanation:

The government here is certain that it can achieve the same quantity and price regardless of if it uses a pollution tax or pollution allowance. This means that it would be charging the companies the same regardless of the method used.

Both methods would therefore yield the same amount if the government uses either of them.

Ehrmann Data Systems is considering a project that has the following cash flow and WACC data. What is the project's MIRR? Note t

jeka94

Answer:

the project's MIRR is 13.84 %

Explanation:

MODIFIED INTERNAL RATE OF RETURN (MIRR)

-It is the rate that causes the Present Value of the Terminal Value (Future Cash flows at the end of the Project) to equal Present Value of Cash outflows.

-MIRR assumes a reinvestment rate at the end of the project

The First Step is to Calculate the Terminal Value at end of year 3.

Terminal Value (FV) = Sum of (PV x (1 + r) ^ 3 - n)

= $450 x (1.09) ^ 2 + $450 x (1.09) ^ 1 + $450 x (1.09) ^ 0

= $534.65 + $490.50 + $450.00

= $1,475.15

The Next Step is to Calculate the MIRR using a Financial Calculator :

(-$1,000) CFj

0 CFj

$1,475.15 CFj

Shift IRR/Yr 13.84 %

Therefore, the project's MIRR is 13.84 %.

You observe the following term structure: Effective Annual YTM 1-year zero-coupon bond 5.2 % 2-year zero-coupon bond 5.3 3-year

Lisa [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

a. If you believe that the term structure next year will be the same as today’s, calculate the return on (i) the 1-year zero and (ii) the 4-year zero.

b. Which bond provides a greater expected 1-year return? O 1-year zero-coupon bond O 4-year zero-coupon bond

The return on one year bond is = 5.2%

The price of 4 year bond today

$=\frac{ 1000}{ (1.055)^4}$

Price of 4 year bond today = 807.22

If yield curves is unchanged, the bond will have 3-year maturity and price will be

$=\frac{ 1000}{(1.054)^3}$

If yield curves is unchanged, the bond will have 3-year maturity and price will be = 854.04

Return

$=\frac{ (854.04 - 807.22)}{807.22}$

Return = 5.8%

The longer term bond has given the higher return in this case at it's YTM fell during the holding period(4 -year)

inventory Turnover and Days' Sales in Inventory The following financial statement data for years ending December 31 for Holland

Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

Year 2014 Year 2013

a) Inventory Turnover ratio 3.4 times and 3.1 times

b) Number of days' sales in inventory 107.3 days and 117.7 days

Explanation:

As per the data given in the question,

As we know that

Inventory turnover ratio = Cost of goods sold ÷ Average inventory

where,

Average inventory

= (Beginning inventory + ending inventory) ÷ 2

For Year 20Y4 :

Average inventory = ($359,160 + $516,840 ) ÷2

= $438,000

And, the cost of goods sold is $1,489,200

So,

Inventory Turnover ratio

= $1,489,200 ÷ $438,000

= 3.4 times

For Year 20Y3 :

Average inventory = ($251,120 + $359,160) ÷ 2

= $305,140

And, the cost of goods sold is $945,934

So,

Inventory Turnover ratio

= $945,934 ÷ $305,140

= 3.1 times

Now

Number of days' sales in inventory = Number of days in a year ÷ Inventory Turnover ratio

For 20Y4

= 365 days ÷ 3.4

= 107.3 days

For 20Y3

= 365 days ÷ 3.1

= 117.7 days

Basically we applied the above formulas
