Use the information presented in Northeastern Mutual Bank's balance sheet to answer the following questions.

Nana76 [90]

Answer:

The explanation is given as follows.

Explanation:

Task 1:

The higher the percentage of assets a bank holds as loans, the higher the capital requirement.

When the owners of the bank borrow $100 to supplement their existing reserves , both reserves and debt increase by $100 , therefore increase in debt as in any balance sheet , the total value of accounts on the left hand should be equal to the right hand , so when there is increase in reserves , there will be increase in debt.

Task 2:

It specifies a minimum leverage ratio for all banks

leverage ratio initially = total assets / capital = 1750 / 125 = 14

leverage ratio new value = total assets / capital = 1850 / 125 = 14.8 ( the assets increase by $100 with increase in reserves)

Task 3

Its intended goal is to protect the interests of those who hold equity in the bank.

Capital requirement are there to ensure that bank have enough capital to repay the depositors and debtors and if a bank holds a higher percent of risky assets , capital requirements will be higher so that the bank remains solvent hence option a is right answer.

Toy Town is considering a new toy that will cost $49,100 in startup costs. The toy is expected to produce cash flows of $47,500

Tasya [4]

Answer:

NPV with a 14.9% discount rate: 6,329.06

The toy should be produced as the NPV is positive.

IRR = 26.65%

Explanation:

First we calculate for the NPV using the given discount rate of 14.9%

We will calculate the present value of each year cash inflow:

$\frac{inflow}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV$

Year 1 cash inflow: 47,500.00

time 1.00

rate 0.149

$\frac{47500}{(1 + 0.149)^{1} } = PV$

PV 41,340.30

Year 2 cash inflow: 18,600.00

time 2.00

rate 0.149

$\frac{18600}{(1 + 0.149)^{2} } = PV$

PV 14,088.76

Then, we add them and subtract the investment to get NPV

NPV = 14,088.76 + 41,340.3 - 49,100 = 6,329.06

The toy should be produced as the NPV is positive.

Now for the IRR

That is the rate at which NPV equals zero we can solve for this using the quadratic equation as there are only two cash flow:

Year 1 will discount at (1+IRR)

Year 2 will be discount at (1+IRR )^2

So we can express and recreate the quadratic formula:

18,600 X^2 + 47,500 X - 49,500 = 0

A = 18,600

B = 47,500

C = -49,100

$x_1 = \frac{-b+\sqrt{b^{2} -4ac}}{2a}\\x_2 = \frac{-b -\sqrt{b^{2} -4ac}}{2a}$

We can solve and get:

x1 = 0.78957

x2 = -3.3433

We take the positive value.

and now solve for IRR

$\frac{1}{1+ IRR} = 0.78957\\IRR = \frac{1}{0.78957} -1$

IRR = 0,2665121 = 26.65%

This will be the IRR for the project.
