Summary Introduction

Answer to Problem 12PS

The total value added is 1.3% .

Explanation of Solution

Given Information:

Results for a given month are in the following table:

    Country Weights (MSCI) Weights (Manager's) Manager's return in Country Return of stock index for that Country
    U.K.
      0.15

      0.30

      20%

      12%

      10%

      14%
    Germany
      0.10

      0.20

      5%

      12%

The formula for total value added is:

  Total Value Added=Return as per manager's weightsReturn as per MSCI weights

Now, Return as per manager's weight is:

  Return=0.30×20%+0.10×15%+0.40×10%+0.20×5%=0.06+0.015+0.04+0.01=12.50%

Return as per MSCI weight is:

  Return=0.15×12%+0.30×15%+0.45×14%+0.10×12%=0.018+0.045+0.063+0.012=13.80%

Thus, as per the above calculation, the total value added for all managers' decision is:

  Total Value Added=12.50%13.80%=1.3%

Summary Introduction

(b)

To calculate:

The value added arrived due to the decisions taken by her country allocations.

Introduction:

The value added by allocation of country decision is computed by calculating excess (deficit) weight of manager's portfolio over the portfolio of MSCI and get it multiplied with MSCI return.

Crenshaw, Incorporated, is considering the purchase of a $367,000 computer with an economic life of five years. The computer will be fully depreciated over five years using the straight-line method. The market value of the computer will be $67,000 in five years. The computer will replace five office employees whose combined annual salaries are $112,000. The machine will also immediately lower the firm's required net working capital by $87,000. This amount of net working capital will need to be replaced once the machine is sold. The corporate tax rate is 22 percent. The appropriate discount rate is 15 percent. Calculate the NPV of this project. Note: Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16. NPV Answer is complete but not entirely correct. S 103,141.80
Your firm is contemplating the purchase of a new $610,000 computer-based order entry system. The system will be depreciated straight-line to zero over its five-year life. It will be worth $66,000 at the end of that time. You will save $240,000 before taxes per year in order processing costs, and you will be able to reduce working capital by $81,000 (this is a one-time reduction). If the tax rate is 21 percent, what is the IRR for this project? Note: Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16. IRR %
