Chapter 5, Problem 10QP

a.

Summary Introduction

To determine: Internal rate of return.

Internal Rate of Return (IRR):

IRR is the rate at which the future cash inflows will be equal to the initial cash outflows. It is the discounting rate.

Answer to Problem 10QP

Solution:

Compute the IRR.

Corporate Finance (The Mcgraw-hill/Irwin Series in Finance, Insurance, and Real Estate), Chapter 5, Problem 10QP

Explanation of Solution

  • The excel spreadsheet is used to calculate the internal rate of return.
  • The IRR function is used to compute the internal rate of return.
Conclusion

Hence, internal rate of return is 12%.

Answer to Problem 10QP

Solution:

Person X should accept this offer on 10% discount rate.

Explanation of Solution

One should accept this offer because internal rate of return is 12% which is higher than the discount rate of 10%. It means that the current project will fetch profit for the company.

Conclusion

Hence, Person X should accept this project.

Answer to Problem 10QP

Solution:

Person X should not accept this offer on 20% discount rate.

Explanation of Solution

Person X should not accept this offer because internal rate of return is 12% which is lower than the discount rate of 20%. It means that the current project will not be able to earn even what is initially invested in the project.

Conclusion

Hence, Person X should not accept this project.

d.

Summary Introduction

To determine: NPV at 10% and 20% discount rate.

Net Present Value (NPV):

Net present value refers to the present value of all the future cash flow that is adjusted according to the time value of money.

Explanation of Solution

Compute the NPV.

For discount rate of 10%:

Given,

C0 is $9,400.

CF1 is $4,500.

CF2 is $3,100.

CF3 is $2,400.

CF4 is $1,800.

r is 10%.

Solution:

Formula to compute NPV,

NPV=CF1(1+r)1+CF2(1+r)2+CF3(1+r)3+CF4(1+r)4C0

Where,

  • C0 is initial investment.
  • CF1 is cash inflow in first year.
  • CF2 is cash inflow in second year.
  • CF3 is cash inflow in third year.
  • CF4 is cash inflow in fourth year.
  • r is discount rate.

Substitute, $9,400 for C0, $4,500 for CF1, $3,100 for CF2, $2,400 for CF3,$1,800 for CF4 and 10% for r.

NPV=$4,500(1+0.1)1+$3,100(1+0.1)2+$2,400(1+0.1)3+$1,800(1+0.1)4$9,400=$4,090.91+$2,561.98+$1,803.16+$1,229.42$9,400=$9,685.47$9,400=$285.47

The NPV for discount rate of 10% is $285.47.

For discount rate of 20%:

Given,

C0 is $9,400.

CF1 is $4,500.

CF2 is $3,100.

CF3 is $2,400.

CF4 is $1,800.

r is 20%.

Formula to compute NPV,

NPV=CF1(1+r)1+CF2(1+r)2+CF3(1+r)3+CF4(1+r)4C0

Where,

  • C0 is initial investment.
  • CF1 is cash inflow in first year.
  • CF2 is cash inflow in second year.
  • CF3 is cash inflow in third year.
  • CF4 is cash inflow in fourth year.
  • r is discount rate.

Substitute, $9,400 for C0, $4,500 for CF1, $3,100 for CF2, $2,400 for CF3,$1,800 for CF4 and 20% for r.

NPV=$4,500(1+0.2)1+$3,100(1+0.2)2+$2,400(1+0.2)3+$1,800(1+0.2)4$9,400=$3,750+$2,152.78+$1,388.89+$868.06$9,400=$8,159.73$9,400=$1,240.27

The NPV for discount rate of 20% is −$1,240.27.

Conclusion

Hence, NPV for discount rate of 10% and 20% is $285.47 and -$1,240.27 respectively.

e.

Summary Introduction

To explain: Whether NPV rule is consistent with IRR rule or not.

e.

Expert Solution

Answer to Problem 10QP

Solution:

Yes, NPV rule is consistent with the internal rate of return method.

Explanation of Solution

NPV rule is consistent with IRR because according to both the methods, project with 10% discount rate is accepted and project with 20% discount rate should be discarded. It is because project is giving positive return only when 10% discount rate is used otherwise it is giving negative returns and it is consistent because, only once the signs of the cash flows changes.

Conclusion

Hence, NPV is consistent with the IRR rule.

Q)You are given the future value of an annuity, A, the monthly payment, R, and the annual interest rate, r. Find the number of monthly payments, n. Round your answer to the nearest whole number if necessary.A = $4000; R = $70; r = 7% Solve it correctly not use excel
Consider a loan repayment plan described by the following initial value problem, where the amount borrowed is B(0) = $40,000, the monthly payments are $600, and B(t) is the unpaid balance of the loan. Use the initial value problem to answer parts a through c. B' (+) =0.03B - 600, B(0) = 40,000 a) Find the solution of the initial value problem and explain why B is an increasing solution. B(t) = Why is B an increasing function? O A. The function is increasing because it is an exponential function with a positive coefficient and a negative exponent. O B. The function is increasing because it is an exponential function with a positive coefficient and a positive exponent. O C.
