7) Consider Table 2 above and projects 1, 2, 3, and 4. Assume that the discount rate is 10% for each project. The ranking each of the four projects from most desirable to least desirable based upon IRR is: A. 3, 4, 1, and 2, respectively. B. 1, 2, 4, and 3, respectively. C. 3, 2, 1, and 4, respectively. D. 3, 1, 4, and 3, respectively. Period Beginning of year 0 End of year 1 End of year 2 End of End of year 4 Table 3 Project A Net cash flows (£) (5000) 1000 2500 2500 1500 Project B Net cash flows (£) (5000) 2000 2000 2000 1000 year 3 8. Consider Table 3 above and projects A and B. The discount rate is 10% for each project. The net present value for project A is closest to: A. 1,098 B. 878. C. 701. D. 654. 9. Consider Table 3 above and projects A and B. The discount rate is 10% for each project. IRR for project B is closest to: A. 12.4% B. 13.3% C. 25.6%. D. 16.5%. 10. Consider Table 3 above and projects A and B. The discount rate is 10% for each project. Straight-line depreciation is used. Assume NWC is zero. ARR for project B is closest to: A. 20% B. 30%. C. 12%. D. 14%. 11. Consider Table 3 above and projects A and B. The discount rate is 10% for each project. Payback for project A is closest to: A. 2.6 years. B. 4.2 years. C. 1.1 years. D. 3.8 years. 12. If a bond is currently trading at its face (par) value, then it must be the case that: A. The bond's yield to maturity is less than its coupon rate. B. The bond's yield to maturity is equal to its coupon rate. C. The bond's yield to maturity is greater than its coupon rate. D. The bond is a zero-coupon bond. 13. The discount rate that sets the present value of the promised bond payments equal to the current market price of the bond is called: A. The current yield. B. The yield to maturity. C. The zero coupon yield. D. The discount yield.
Q8) B) 878
Explanation: Using financial calculator to calculate the NPV
Inputs: C0= -5,000
C1= 1,000 frequency= 1
C2= 2,500 frequency= 2
C3= 1,500 frequency= 1
I= 10%
Npv= compute
we get, Npv of Project A as 878
Q9) D) 16.5 %
Explanation: Using financial calculator to calculate the IRR of Project B
Inputs: C0= -5,000
C1= 2,000 frequency= 3
C2= 1,000 frequency= 1
Irr= compute
we get, IRR of the project B as 16.5%
10) C) 12%
Explanation: Average cash flow of Project B = 2,000 + 2,000 + 2,000 + 1,000 / 4
= 7,000 / 4
= 1,750
Average depreciation = 5,000 / 4 = 1,250
Average profit = Average cashflow - average depreciation
= 1,750 - 1,250
= 500
ARR = Average profit/ initial investment
= 500 / 5,000
= 0.10 or 10%
Q11) A) 2.6 years
Explanation:
Payback of A = full year before recovery + Cashflow left to be recovered after full year before recovery/ cash flow in the year of full recovery
= 2 + 1,500 / 2,500
= 2 + 0.6
= 2.6 years
Q12) B) The bond's yield to maturity is equal to its coupon rate
Explanation: Bond trades at par value only if coupon rate is equal to yield to maturity.
Q13) B) The yield to maturity
Explanation: Yield to maturity is the rate at which the present value of bond payments is equal to the current market price.
