In a few sentences, answer the following question as completely as you can.
The notion that money has time value is based on the existence of a non–zero opportunity rate (i.e., a rate of return at which it is possible to invest). Why is the opportunity rate so important? Construct an example that shows, with an opportunity rate of 0%, that the value of $1 received today will be $1 in the future.
6.Calculate the project's Modified Internal Rate of Return (MIRR). What critical assumption does the MIRR make that differentiates it from the IRR?
TIP : look for the definition of Modified Internal Rate of Return, and then do it in excel, easy !!!

7.Where does the value of MIRR fall relative to the discount rate and IRR?
You identify an investment project with the following cash flows. If the discount rate is 10%, what is the present value of these cash flows?
Y1- $500
Y2- $550
Y3- $800
Y4- $450.

- Consider an investment that pays off $800 or $1,500 per $1,000 invested with equal probability. Suppose you have $1,000 but are willing to borrow to increase your expected return. What would happen to the expected value and standard deviation of the investment if you borrowed an additional $1,000 and invested a total of $2,000? What if you borrowed $2,000 to invest a total of $3,000?arrow_forwardThe present value represents the amount of money you would have to deposit today in order to match what you would get from the income stream at the future date. The formula is Time = M = i Future value represents the total amount of money you would have if you deposit the income stream until a future date. The formula is To start our problem we need to identify the variables. Rate =r= i Income Stream S(t) = i Present Value = years % M 1. 0 S (t) et dt. Future Value = Present Value* erM dollars/yeararrow_forwardWhat would be the interest rate that would allow you to convert an investment from B/.5,000 to B/.20,227.79 in 10 years?

- Consider an investment where the cash flows are: – $946.21 at time t = 0 (negative since this is your initial investment) $377 at time t = 1 in years $204 at time t = 2 in years $499 at time t = 3 in years (a) Use Excel's "Solver" to find the internal rate of return (IRR) of this investment. Take a screen shot showing Solver open with your entries for the function clearly visible. Paste the screen shot into an application (like Paint), and save it as a (.png) file. Upload your screenshot below. (b) What is the value of IRR found by Solver?arrow_forwardYou are considering an investment project with the cash flows of -300 (the initial cash flow), 700 (cash flow at year 1), -200 (cash flow at year 2). Given the discount rate of 10%, compute the Modified Internal Rate of Return (MIRR) using the discounting approach. 50.44% 10.72% O 28.64% O 37.84%arrow_forward2.When comparing two projects with different lives, why do you compute an annuity with an equivalent present value (PV) to the net present value (NPV)? A. so that you can see which project has the greatest net present value (NPV) B. to reduce the danger that changes in the estimate of the discount rate will lead to choosing the project with a shorter timeframe C. to ensure that cash flows from the project with a longer life that occur after the project with the shorter life has ended are considered D. so that the projects can be compared on their cost or value created per yeararrow_forward
- Your investment will pay you the following cash flow stream: YEAR | CASH FLOW 1 |200 2 10 3 100 4 100 If your required rate of return is 12%, what is the value (i. e., present value ) of this investment at time 0? What is the future value at the end of year 7? Please explain in steps to input on BA II Plus calculatorarrow_forwardFinding a present value is the reverse of finding a future value. Which of the following is true about finding the present value of cash flows? O Finding the present value of cash flows tells you what a cash flow will be worth in future years at a specified rate of return. O Finding the present value of cash flows tells you how much you need to invest today so that it grows to a given future amount at a specified rate of return. Which of the following investments that pay will $15,500 in 8 years will have a lower price today? O The security that earns an interest rate of 5.50%. O The security that earns an interest rate of 8.25%. Eric wants to invest in government securities that promise to pay $1,000 at maturity. The opportunity cost (interest rate) of holding the security is 6.80%. Assuming that both investments have equal risk and Eric's investment time horizon is flexible, which of the following investment options will exhibit the lower price? O An investment that matures in six…arrow_forwardSuppose that we make contributions to a fund of $125 today and $750 in twoyears for a return of $1000 in one year.
