The CFO of the company believes that an appropriate annual interest rate on this investment is 9%. What is the present value of this uneven cash flow
Answer:
$1,685,335
Explanation:
Hi, your question is incomplete, I have searched for the full question online and I have uploaded it as an image below.
Uneven cash flows are cash flows that are received in uneven amounts and possibly uneven periods as well.
We can simply use the CFj function of a financial calculator to determine the present value of uneven cash flows as follows :
$0 CF 0
$250,000 CF 1
$20,000 CF 2
$330,000 CF 3
$450,000 CF 4
$550,000 CF 5
$375, 000 CF 6
i/yr = 4 %
Shift NPV gives $1,685,335
Therefore,
The present value of this uneven cash flow is $1,685,335

You have $20,000 to invest in a stock portfolio. Your choices are Stock X with an expected return of 14.3 percent and Stock Y with an expected return of 8.1 percent. Your goal is to create a portfolio with an expected return of 12.5 percent. All money must be invested. How much will you invest in Stock X
Answer:
$14,194
Explanation:
Wy + Wx = 1
Wy*Ry + Wx*Rx = 12.5%
So, let input the values
Wy*8.1% + (1-Wy)*14.3% = 12.5%
Wy*8.1% + 14.3%-14.3%*Wy = 12.5%
14.3%*Wy - Wy*8.1% = 1.8%
Wy*6.2% = 1.8%
Wy = 0.2903
Weight of X in portfolio = 1 - 0.2903
Weight of X in portfolio = 0.7097
Money invested in stock X = $20,000*0.7097
Money invested in stock X = $14,194

Compute depreciation expense for 2020 and 2021 using (1) the straight-line method, (2) the units-of-activity method, and (3) the double-declining-balance method.
Answer:
1. $3375
$3375
2. $4347
$3456
3 $7300
$5475
Explanation:
Straight line depreciation expense = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life
( $29,200 - $2,200,) / 8 = $3375
depreciation expense each year is $3375
Depreciation expense using the double declining method = Depreciation factor x cost of the asset
Depreciation factor = 2 x (1/useful life) = 2/8 = 0.25
2020 = 0.25 x 29200 = 7300
2021 = 0.25x( 29200 - 7300)
Activity method based on output = (output produced that year / total output of the machine) x (Cost of asset - Salvage value)

Todd Silver is the purchasing agent for Moore Co. One of his suppliers, Gem Co. offers Todd a free vacation to France if he buys at least 75% of Moore's supplies from Gem Co. Todd, who was angry because Moore Co. has not given him a raise in over a year, is considering the offer. Write your recommendation to Todd.
Answer:
Ethically the offer made by Gem Co. is not suitable because Todd will buy 75% of the Moore Co. supplies from Gem Co. which could be of low quality and or expensive because if Todd accepts the offer Gem Co. would know that Todd will purchase 75% of supplies from Gem Co. and not from any other supplier so the quality and cost can be varied easily and no complaint will be made by Todd, but this can cause Todd to lose his job at Moore Co. and ethically breaching his duties of professional behavior and due care.

The stock in Pal-Maine Foods has a beta of .85. The expected return on the market is 11.50 percent and the risk-free rate is 2.85 percent. What is the required return on the company's stock?
Answer:
the required rate of return is 10.20%
Explanation:
The computation of the required rate of return is shown below;
We know that
= risk free rate of return + beta × (market rate of return - risk free rate of return)
= 2.85% + 0.85 × (11.50% - 2.85%)
= 2.85% + 7.3525%
= 10.20%
hence, the required rate of return is 10.20%

Assume that you invest 5 percent of your salary and receive the full 5 percent match from East Coast Yachts. What EAR do you earn from the match
Answer:
The EAR you earn from the match is 100%.
Explanation:
Since a full 5 percent match will be received if 5 percent of your salary is invested, this implies that 100% will be earned by you from the match up to 5%.
For example, if 5 percent of your salary that you put in is $200, the East Coast Yachts will match the $200. This indicates that effective annual return (EAR) earned by you from the match is 100%.
Therefore, the EAR you earn from the match is 100%.

Downtown Stores can issue equity at a flotation cost of 8.76 percent and debt at 5.93 percent. The firm currently has a debt-equity ratio of .37 but prefers a ratio of .35. What should this firm use as their weighted average flotation cost
Answer:
8.03%
Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
We know that
Total capital = Debt + Equity
= 0.35 + 1
= 1.35
Now
Weight of debt(Wd) = Value of debt ÷ Total capital
= 0.35 ÷ 1.35
Weight of equity(We) = 1 ÷ 1.35
Now Weighted average flotation cost is:
= Flotation cost of equity × weight of equity + Flotation cost of debt × Weight of debt
= (8.76% × 1 ÷ 1.35) + (5.93% × 0.35 ÷ 1.35)
= 8.03%
