a. Assuming the opportunity interest rate is 8%, what is the present value of the second alternative mentioned above? The present value of second alternative is as follows, The formula to calculate the present value of future amount is given by PV of Future Amount = A / (1+r) ^ n.

Amount Yr end received Rate Present Value
$7,000,000 1st year 8% $7,000,000/(1-0.08)^1 $6,481,481.48
$7,000,000 2nd year 8% $7,000,000/(1-0.08)^2 $6.001.371.74 Present value Second alternative $12,482,853.22

Which of the two alternatives should be chosen and why?

c. Provide a description of a scenario where this kind of decision between two types of payment streams applies in the “real-world” business setting.
“Financial Managers use Present Value (NPV/FPV) calculations to manage and account for the time value of money (NPV). One scenario is providing service is one year and receiving payments in later year. We should assume that the company provides service in December 2011 and agrees to be paid $100 in December 2012. The time value of money tells us that the part of the $100 is interest, which is for waiting one year for the $100. Only $91 of the $100 is service revenue made in 2011, of that only $9 is interest earned in 2012. The calculation of present value will remove the interest, so that the amount of the service revenue can be determined. Another example might involve the purchase of land: the owners will either sell it to for $160,000 if he receives the money today, or for $200,000 if paid at the end of two years. At the end of two years, he would have earned interest for two years on the amount had he received it today.” …show more content…

Describe and calculate Project A’s expected net present value (ENPV) and standard deviation (SD), assuming the discount rate (or risk-free interest rate) to be 8%. What is the decision rule in terms of ENPV? What will be San Diego LLC’s decision regarding this project? Describe your answer.

Probability Cash flow Probability X Cash flow Variance = Probability 0.3 $70,000,000 $21,000,000 43,200,000,000,000 0.4 $60,000,000 $24,000,000 1,440,000,000,000,000 0.1 $50,000,000 $5,000,000 250,000,000,000,000 0.2 $40,000,000 $8,000,000 320,000,000,000,000
Total cash flow Yr 3 $58,000,000 2,053,200,000,000,000

This was done by standard deviation: √ Variance
Year 1 = √ 919,200,000,000,000 = 30,318,311.30
Year 2 = √ 1,380,000,000,000,000 = 37,148,351.25
Year 3 = √ 2,053,200,000,000,000 =

In 2010, it would have made sense for the construction of the Muskrat Falls Generation Facility to go ahead. With Nalcor, the province of Newfoundland and Labrador, and the First Nations living in the surrounding area as the primary stakeholders, the main concern is the dam’s effect on the environment. Examining the problem from two schools of ethical thought, utilitarianism and formalism, leads to the conclusion that the advantages for the average citizen would outweigh the drawbacks from damaging the environment. Utilitarianism would state that the creation of a dam would benefit many people living in Newfoundland and Labrador by creating jobs and allowing the province to be more self-sufficient. Clean energy allows the province to start replacing the damaging energy sources of oil and coal, positively influencing Canadians for generations.

TO: Dr. Jim Turner FROM: Tyler Mead DATE: October 20, 2015 SUBJECT: New England Seafood Company Risk Analysis Overview: Accompanying this memo is a risk analysis I have conducted for New England Seafood Company. The risk analysis I have conducted will show which weighted average cost of capital would be best to use in evaluating the project along with how New England Seafood Company could utilize the land if the project is accepted. A 10% cost of capital will result in a positive net present value but the coefficient of variation will be much higher than New England’s average coefficient of variation. A lower or higher cost of capital could under or over value the project and risks involved.

Bernie Sanders believes that all students deserve the opportunity to receive an affordable, quality education from the earliest stages of schooling to high-level degrees. He has sponsored bills to make public colleges and universities tuition-free, as well as to drastically diminish interest rates on student loan debt. Bernie believes that no student who is willing and able to go to college should be denied based from their parent’s income.

Classical economics emphasises the fact free markets lead to an efficient outcome and are self-regulating. In macroeconomics, classical economics assumes the long run aggregate supply curve is inelastic; therefore any deviation from full employment will only be temporary. The Classical model stresses the importance of limiting government intervention and striving to keep markets free of potential barriers to their efficient operation. Keynesians argue that the economy can be below full capacity for a considerable time due to imperfect markets. Keynesians place a greater role for expansionary fiscal policy (government intervention) to overcome recession.
