Summary Introduction

To make capital budgeting decision, it is required that the asset and or projects are properly evaluated. This is done as follows:

Estimated the cash flows which is expected to be generated from the project or asset

Evaluate the riskiness of the project and determine an appropriate discount rate specific for the project

Determine the present value of all the expected cash flows, this is done by using the below equation

PV of CF=CF^1(1+r)1+CF^2(1+r)2+.......+CFn^(1+r)n=t=1nCFt^(1+r)t   

Here,

Expected net cash flow in Period t is “CFt^

Required rate of return is “r

Now, compare the present value of future expected cash flows with the cost of the project. If the present value of cash inflows is higher than the present value of the cost of the asset or project, the project shall be accepted, as it would generate profit.

A capital budgeting project will generate $104,400 per year for four years. The two required rates of return are 16% and 12%.

Consider the following gasoline sales time series. If needed, round your answers to two decimal digits.   Week Sales (1,000s of gallons) 1 17 2 21 3 19 4 23 5 18 6 16 7 20 8 18 9 22 10 20 11 15 12 22       (a) Show the exponential smoothing forecasts using α = 0.1, and α = 0.2.     ExponentialSmoothing Week α = 0.1 α = 0.2 13     (b) Applying the MSE measure of forecast accuracy, would you prefer a smoothing constant of α = 0.1 or α = 0.2 for the gasoline sales time series?   An   smoothing constant provides a more accurate forecast, with an overall MSE of  . (c) Are the results the same if you apply MAE as the measure of accuracy?   An   smoothing constant provides a more accurate forecast, with an overall MAE of  . (d) What are the results if MAPE is used?   An   smoothing constant provides a more accurate forecast, with an overall MAPE of  .
