Q

First step in calculating NPV?

A

make a number line

50
Q

Internal Rate of Return

A

specific interest rate that that equates the present value of future cash flows to the out flow at time zero.
Forces NPV of an investment to zero

56
Q

Another name for IRR

A

57
Q

First flaw in IRR

A

-possible to obtain MORE THAN ONE RESULT. (less severe flaw)
-happens when a project has a LARGE OUTFLOW during or toward the end of the project

58
Q

IRR Reinvestment assumption

A

Assumes you can reinvest future cashflows at rate equal to IRR
-major flaw

59
Q

When is IRR greater than Opportunity Rate

A

when NPV > 0

60
Q

When is IRR less than opportunity rate?

A

when NPV < 0

61
Q

When does IRR = NPV

A

when NPV = 0

62
Q

If NPV is positive, you expect IRR to be

A

greater than the investors opportunity rate

63
Q

When would you reject a project?

A

If the NPV is negative or the IRR less than opportunity rate

64
Q

When would you accept a project?

A

If the NPV is positive or the IRR is greater than the opportunity rate

65
Q

Can you solve for NPV and IRR at the same time?

A

Yes, you can use one session in your calculator since NPV and IRR are related

66
Q

When you have 2 projects and conflicting NPV and IRR, which do you go with?

A

NPV. IRR requires all future cash flows be REINVESTED AT IRR RATE. NPV assumes you can only reinvest at the DISCOUNT RATE. This is a more reasonable assumption

Q

750k saved @ retirement. what is the monthly annuity payment received be assuming a 30 year period and 5.25% interest

A

G BEG
N = 360 (12 x 30 = 360))
i = .4375
PV = CHS 750000
PMT = 4,123.4875

A

N 48
PV 20000
i 1.625 (19.5/12)
PMT = 603.29

88
Q

Say you’re contributing to a plan for 10 years and then you stop, but that money continues to grow, how do you do that?

A

The first calculation is going to have a PMT for 10 years, but then its a separate calculation of just future value without a payment

89
Q

Say a bond has a par value of 1000 and you receive coupon payments of $25? What is your I?

A

I=5 think 2 $25 semiannual payments is $50 which is 5% of 1000

90
Q

If a bond has a semiannual payment for 5 years what is you N?

A

N is 10 because you’re getting 2 payments a year

91
Q

If a bond has semiannual payments and the rate is 6% what is your I?

A

I is 3 because you divide by 2 since its semiannual

92

A

PV = -810
n = 8 (4 * 2)
FV = 1000
PMT = 0

PV = 250,000 CHS
PMT = $1304.12
Take PMT times 360 then subtract the original 250k
$469,482.6 - 250,000 = $219,482.6 * .25 = $54,870
THEN take the total minus the savings $469,482.6-$54,870 = $394,559 after tax cost of debt

113
Q

When your finding after tax cost savings, what do you do

A

Find the total cost of the mortgage, then subtract the original loan amount. That is the total interest, then multiply that by the tax rate. THEN subtract that from the total cost of the mortgage

114
Q

A

Find the payment then hit 1 f AMORT to get the interest on 1 payment then hit cat eyes to get the principal
