Explanation of Solution

Calculate the yield as follows:

Yield=[No. of shares×(Ending priceBeginning price)]+Annual dividendNo. of shares×Beginning price=[1,000×($29$28)]+(4×$0.10)1,000×$28=$1,000+$0.4$28,000=0.0357285714285714 or 3.57%

Imagine that the SUNY Brockport Student Government Association (SGA) is considering investing in sustainable campus improvements. These improvements include installing solar panels, updating campus lighting to energy-efficient LEDs, and implementing a rainwater collection system for irrigation. The total initial investment required for these projects is $100,000. The projects are expected to generate savings (effectively, the cash inflows in this scenario) of $30,000 in the first year, $40,000 in the second year, $50,000 in the third year, and $60,000 in the fourth year due to reduced energy and maintenance costs. SUNY Brockport’s discount rate is 8%. What is the NPV of the sustainable campus improvements? (rounded)   a- $70,213b- $48,729c- $45,865d- $62,040
