Which of the following statements is CORRECT? Assume that the project being considered has normal cash flows, with one outflow followed by a series of inflows. Group of answer choices To find a project's IRR, we must find a discount rate that is equal to the WACC. A project's IRR is found by discounting the cash inflows at the WACC to find the present value (PV), then compounding this PV to find the IRR. None of these Answers To find a project's MIRR, we must solve for the discount rate that causes the PV of the inflows to equal the PV of the project's costs. A project's MIRR is found by compounding the cash inflows at the WACC to find the terminal value (TV), then discounting this TV at the WACC
From 2009 to 2010, nominal gross domestic product (GDP) in the United States grew by 3.8%. Given that prices increased by 1% and the population grew by 1%, we know that per capita real GDP grew by: g
Answer:
the per capital real GDP would be grew by 2.8%
Explanation:
The computation of the per capital real GDP would be grew by
= Growth of gross domestic product - increase in prices = growth in population

If an investor buys a T-bill with a 90-day maturity and $50,000 par value for $48,500 and holds it to maturity, what is the annualized yield
Answer:
12.55%
Explanation:
Note that the T-bill rate of return is annualized based on 360-day count convention, hence, to begin with, let us determine the rate of return over a 90-day maturity period as shown thus:
rate of return over 90 days=(FV-PV)/FV
FV=face value=$50,000
PV=purchase price=$48,500
rate of return over 90 days=($50,000-$48,500)/$50,000
rate of return over 90 days=3.00%
annualized rate of return=(1+90day return)^(360/90)-1
the annualized rate of return=(1+3.00%)^(360/90)-1
the annualized rate of return=12.55%

Assume the current U.S. dollar-yen spot rate is 125¥/$. Further, the current nominal 180-day rate of return in Japan is 3% and 4% in the United States. What is the approximate forward exchange rate for 180 days?
Answer:
124.39Y/$
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the approximate forward exchange rate for 180 days
Using this formula
Forward exchange rate/spot exchange rate = [(1+rh)/(1+rf)]*r
Where,
rh = periodic interest rate in the home currency
rf = periodic interest rate in the foreign currency
r=Spot rate
Forward exchange rate= [1+3%*180/360]/[1+4%*180/360]*125¥/$.
Forward exchange rate = 1.015/1.02* 125¥/$
Forward exchange rate= 124.39Y/$
Therefore the approximate forward exchange rate for 180 days is 124.39Y/$

How much must he save during each of the next 10 years (with equal deposits being made at the end of each year, beginning a year from today) to meet his retirement goal
Question Completion:
Assume that your father is now 50 years old, that he plans to retire in 10 years, and that he expects to live for 25 years after he retires - that is, until he is 85. He wants his first retirement payment to have the same purchasing power at the time he retires as $40,000 has today. He wants all his subsequent retirement payments to be equal to his first retirement payment. (Do not let the retirement payments grow with inflation: Your father realizes that the real value of his retirement income will decline year by year after he retires). His retirement income will begin the day he retires, 10 years from today, and he will then get 24 additional annual payments. Inflation is expected to be 5% per year from today forward. He currently has $100,000 saved up; and he expects to earn a return on his savings of 8% per year with annual compounding.
Answer:
He must save $57,326.75 yearly for 10 years to meet his retirement goal.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
The future value of the first retirement payment of $40,000 = $86,360 ($40,000 * 2.159)
Future value factor = 2.159 at 8% for 10 years
Amount to be paid over 24 years = $960,000 ($40,000 * 24)
Total amount to be paid in 25 years of retirement = $1,046,360 ($960,000 +$86,360)
Future value of initial savings of $100,000 = $215,892.50
Amount expected to be saved in ten years = $830,467.50 ($1,046,360 - $215,892.50)

The appropriate discount rate for the following cash flows is 8 percent compounded quarterly. YearCash Flow 1 $800 2 800 3 0 4 1,200 What is the present value of the cash flows
Answer:
Total PV= $2,298.24
Explanation:
First, we need to determine the effective annual rate:
EAR= [1 + (i/n)]^n - 1
EAR= [1 + (0.08/4)]^4 - 1
EAR= 0.082
Now, we can determine the present value of the cash flow, using the following formula:
PV= ∑[Cf/(1+i)^n]
Cf1= 800 / 1.082= 739.37
Cf2= 800 / 1.082^2= 683.34
Cf3= 0
Cf4= 1,200 / 1.082^4= 875.53
Total PV= $2,298.24
In the space provided, using the letters (a-e), indicate in which category of the statement of cash flows the preceding items would. After each item, indicate with a plus sign ( ) or a minus sign (-) whether the item would be reported as an increase / inflow or a decrease/ outflow.

Answer: $66.25
Explanation:
What should the per unit selling price be to make a 25% profit this year?
First, we'll calculate the total cost which will be:
= $100,000 + $5000(33)
= $100,000 + $165,000
= $265000
%profit = 100(revenue - cost)/ cost
25% = 100(revenue - 265000)/265000
Therefore, revenue will be:
265000(1 + 25%) = 331250
265000(1.25) = 331250
Revenue = $331250
Selling price per unit will be:
= $331250/5000
= $66.25/unit

A firm's current profits are $400,000. These profits are expected to grow indefinitely at a constant annual rate of 4 percent. If the firm's opportunity cost of funds is 6 percent, determine the value of the firm: Instructions: Enter your responses rounded to one decimal place. a. The instant before it pays out current profits as dividends. $ million b. The instant after it pays out current profits as dividends. $ million
Answer:
A. $21,200,000
B. $20,800,000
Explanation:
A. Calculation to determine The instant before it pays out current profits as dividends
Value of the firm =[(Current profits) × (1 +Opportunity cost of funds)} ÷ (Opportunity cost of funds - Constant growth annual rate)
Let plug in the formula
Value of the firm= [($400,000) × (1 + 0.06)]÷ (0.06 - 0.04)
Value of the firm= [($400,000) × (1.06)]÷0.02
Value of the firm= $424,000 ÷ 0.02
Value of the firm= $21,200,000
Therefore The instant before it pays out current profits as dividends will be $21,200,000
B. Calculation to determine The instant after it pays out current profits as dividends
Using this formula
Value of the firm =[(Current profits) × (1 +Constant growth annual rate)} ÷ (Opportunity cost of funds - Constant growth annual rate)
Let plug in the formula
Value of the firm= [($400,000) × (1 + 0.04)] ÷ (0.06 - 0.04)
Value of the firm= [($400,000) × (1.04)] ÷ (0.06 - 0.04)
Value of the firm= $416,000 ÷ 0.02
Value of the firm= $20,800,000
Therefore The instant after it pays out current profits as dividends will be $20,800,000

P&R Company is an all-equity company. Its stock has a beta of .82. The market risk premium is 6.9 percent and the risk-free rate is 4.5 percent. The company is considering a project that it considers riskier than its current operations so it wants to apply an adjustment of 1.7 percent to the project's discount rate. What should the firm set as the required rate of return for the project?
Answer:
11.86%
Explanation:
Project's discount rate = Rf rate + Beta*risk premium
Project's discount rate = 4.5% + 0.82*6.9%
Project's discount rate = 4.5% + 5.658%
Project's discount rate = 10.158%
Required rate = Project's discount rate + Adjustment rate
Required rate = 10.158% + 1.7%
Required rate = 11.86%
Thus, the firm set 11.86% as the required rate of return for the project.

Initially, reimbursement would be achieved inside the long-term grouping of profits and losses as well as the short-term grouping of losses and gains. When these networks' results exhibit opposing values (it only is again and one a loss), their group outcomes were netted. There is still a net STCG of 4,000 USD as well as a net LTCG of 3,500 USD.
A firm has sales of $3 million, and 10 percent of the sales are for cash. The year-end accounts receivable balance is $285,000. What is the average collection period
Answer:
38 days
Explanation:
The first step is to calculate the average daily credit sales
= 3,000,000× 0.9/360
= 2,700,000/360
= 7500
Therefore the average collection period can be calculated as follows
= 285,000/7500
= 38
Hence the average collection period is 38 days
Crane Company has 900 shares of 4%, $100 par cumulative preferred stock outstanding at December 31, 2018. No dividends have been paid on this stock for 2017 or 2018. Dividends in arrears at December 31, 2018 totala) $400.b) $3600.c) $7200.d) $0.
Answer:
c) $7200
Explanation:
Preference dividends have preference when it comes to payment of dividends.
This means that we pay the Preference Stock holders their dividend (which is fixed) and there after the remainder is paid up to the Common Stockholders
Preference dividend = 900 shares x $100 x 4 % = $3600
When Preference Stock is Cumulative, it means that all previous dividends in arrears have to be paid up before any current year distributions are made.
2018
Cumulative Preference dividend = $3600 (2017) + $3600 (2018) = $7200
therefore,
Dividends in arrears at December 31, 2018 total $7200
