Chapter 5, Problem 10PS, IRR rule Consider the following two mutually exclusive projects: a. Calculate the <x-custom-btb-me data-me-id='2575' class='microExplainerHighlight'>NPV</x-custom-btb-me> of each

  1. a. Calculate the NPV of each project for discount rates of 0%, 10%, and 20%. Plot these on a graph with NPV on the vertical axis and discount rate on the horizontal axis.
  2. b. What is the approximate IRR for each project?
  3. c. In what circumstances should the company accept project A?
  4. d. Calculate the NPV of the incremental investment (B – A) for discount rates of 0%, 10%, and 20%. Plot these on your graph. Show that the circumstances in which you would accept A are also those in which the IRR on the incremental investment is less than the opportunity cost of capital.

Consider the following simplified financial statements for the Yoo Corporation (assuming no income taxes): Income Statement Balance Sheet Sales Costs $ 40,000 Assets 34,160 $26,000 Debt Equity $ 7,000 19,000 Net income $ 5,840 Total $26,000 Total $26,000 The company has predicted a sales increase of 20 percent. Assume Yoo pays out half of net income in the form of a cash dividend. Costs and assets vary with sales, but debt and equity do not. Prepare the pro forma statements. (Input all amounts as positive values. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to the nearest whole dollar amount.) Pro forma income statement Sales Costs $ 48000 40992 Assets $ 31200 Pro forma balance sheet Debt 7000 Equity 19000 Net income $ 7008 Total $ 31200 Total 30304 What is the external financing needed? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign.) External financing needed $ 896
An insurance company has liabilities of £7 million due in 10 years' time and £9 million due in 17 years' time. The assets of the company consist of two zero-coupon bonds, one paying £X million in 7 years' time and the other paying £Y million in 20 years' time. The current interest rate is 6% per annum effective. Find the nominal value of X (i.e. the amount, IN MILLIONS, that bond X pays in 7 year's time) such that the first two conditions for Redington's theory of immunisation are satisfied. Express your answer to THREE DECIMAL PLACES.
