Type the correct answer in the box. Spell all words correctly.

The depreciable life of an asset is crucial for the financial manager. Generally, a shorter depreciable life is advantageous, as it leads to quicker cash flow circulation. This concept of depreciation allows for the expense of financial or intangible resources to be allocated over their useful lives. It indicates the extent to which an asset's value diminishes over time. For both taxation and accounting, long-term assets can be depreciated, and the duration allocated to these assets significantly influences the cash flow. Hence, shorter depreciable lives are more favorable compared to longer ones due to the expedited influx of cash for finance managers.

Answer:

Net Present Value = $ 34,310.45  

Explanation:

The Net Present Value (NPV) represents the difference between the present value of cash inflows and outflows. A positive NPV indicates a favorable investment decision, while a negative value suggests otherwise.

NPV of a project

NPV = Present Value of Cash inflows - Present Value of Cash outflow  

The cash inflow is characterized as an annuity.

Present Value of annuity= A × 1 - (1+r)^(-n)/r  

A refers to Annual cash flow, - 65,000, r is the discount rate at 12%, and the term is 5 years.

Calculation for Present Value of cash inflow equals 65,000 × (1 - (1.12)^(-5)/0.12) =  234,310.45.

The initial investment is 200,000.

Thus, the Net Present Value calculation is  -  234,310.45  -200,000 = 34,310.45  

Net Present Value = $ 34,310.45  

Response:

Clarification:

Calculating the average return

Assuming the price per share is 100

                                                       Initial    Growth             Final

                                                         Value            %                   Value

Company A  50 % at 100                5,000              8 %                 5,400

Company B 30 % at 100                 3,000              12 %                3,360    

Company C 20 % at 100                  2,000             10 %                2,200

Total amounts                             10,000                                     10,960

To find the average return, take the increase in value over the base, divided by the base

10,960 -  10,000  =  960/ 10000  = 9.6 % average return

Answer:

$9.71

Explanation:

The calculations for the share price are outlined below:-

Current EPS = Net Income ÷ Total Common Shares

= $9,250,000 ÷ 5,500,000

= $1.68

Current P/E ratio = Current stock price ÷ Current EPS

= $12 ÷ $1.68

= 7.14

Projected EPS for next year = $9,250,000 × 1.25 ÷ 8,500,000

= $1.36

Forecasted stock price for next year = $1.36 x 7.14

= $9.71
