Suppose a firm relies exclusively on the payback method when making capital budgeting decisions, and it sets a 4-year payback regardless of economic conditions. Other things held constant, which of the following statements is most likely to be true? E-If the 4-year payback results in accepting just the right set of projects under average economic conditions, and then this payback will result in too few long-term projects when the economy is weak. 4.) You are on the staff of Camden Inc. The CFO believes project acceptance should be based on the NPV, but Steve Camden, the president, insists that no project should be accepted unless its IRR exceeds the project’s risk-adjusted WACC. Now you must make a recommendation on a project that has a cost of $15, 000 and two cash flows: $110,000 at the end of Year 1 and $100,000 at the end of Year 2. The president and the CFO both agree that the appropriate WACC for its project is 10%. At 10%, the NPV is $2,355.37, but you find two IRRs, one at 6.33% and one at 527%, and MIRR of 11.32%.

...case study for studying the concept of financial principle in the competitive economic environment. The current paper discusses the approach of financial management with correct application of ideas to create value and economic efficiency through analysis of financial transactions to establish the position of Rodolfo in market. Cost Relationships and Behaviors to Supplement Decision-Making Prerogatives for the Manager Financial principles, financial markets, and business ethics form a foundation for the financial decisions that managers routinely make. Rodolfo’s case study shows that the arrival of new competitor from oversees have put unexpected challenges on the financial condition of the company. The principles of finance describe typical behavior in financial transactions and provide guidance for decision making in the case of Rodolfo. Competitors have advantage of applying the new technology to produce customized product with precise measurement to meet the demands of customer. Rodolfo is also seeing the issue of rise in labor cost due to economic prosperity of the city. Since financial self-interest guides rational decision making, Rodolfo has to reestablish its position to meet the challenges from foreign competitors in Puerto Rico. Many financial decisions must consider the time value of money. The availability of local labor on cheap price, market condition and brand value has given economic advantage to the Rodolfo from the competitors till the sudden change happened...

...Capital Budgeting Techniques | | GLOSSARY Capital Budget: (1) The amount of money set aside for the purchase of fixed assets (e.g., equipment, buildings, etc.). Also, (2) a request for authorization to purchase new fixed assets. Mutually Exclusive Proposals: Consideration of two or more assets that perform the same function. If one is chosen for purchase, the others are automatically rejected. Profitability Index: A ratio of the present value of the benefits (PVB) to the present value of the costs (PVC). The index is used instead of Net Present Value (i.e., PVB - PVC) when evaluating mutually exclusive proposals that have different costs. As the picture above illustrates, the capital budgeting decision may be thought of as a cost-benefit analysis. We are asking a very simple question: "If I purchase this fixed asset, will the benefits to the company be greater than the cost of the asset?" In essence, we are placing the cash inflows and outflows on a scale (similar to the one above) to see which is greater. A complicating factor is that the inflows and outflows may not be comparable: cash outflows (costs) are typically concentrated at the time of the purchase, while cash inflows (benefits) may be spread over many years. The time value of money principle states that dollars today are not the same as dollars in the future (because we would all prefer possessing dollars today to receiving the same amount of dollars in the future). Therefore, before we can place...

...From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search In finance, the net present value (NPV) or net present worth (NPW)[1] of a time series of cash flows, both incoming and outgoing, is defined as the sum of the present values (PVs) of the individual cash flows of the same entity. In the case when all future cash flows are incoming (such as coupons and principal of a bond) and the only outflow of cash is the purchase price, the NPV is simply the PV of future cash flows minus the purchase price (which is its own PV). NPV is a central tool in discounted cash flow (DCF) analysis and is a standard method for using the time value of money to appraise long-term projects. Used for capital budgeting and widely used throughout economics, finance, and accounting, it measures the excess or shortfall of cash flows, in present value terms, above the cost of funds. NPV can be described as the “difference amount” between the sums of discounted: cash inflows and cash outflows. It compares the present value of money today to the present value of money in the future, taking inflation and returns into account The NPV of a sequence of cash flows takes as input the cash flows and a discount rate or discount curve and outputs a price; the converse process in DCF analysis — taking a sequence of cash flows and a price as input and inferring as output a discount rate (the discount rate which would yield the given price as NPV) — is called the yield and is more widely used in bond trading...

Types of Business Forms If you have previously studied Business Studies for the HSC, you can skip this section. Businesses are usually formed based on a set structure. The most common of these are: • Sole Proprietorships This is where the business is owned by a single person. It is very simple, fast to establish and generally has very minimal government regulations. The owner gets to keep all the profits himself so there is incentive to work harder. The downside is that it has unlimited liability (where if the business goes bankrupt, everything the owner owns can be taken by creditors). There is also difficulty in raising large sums of money as you are a single...
