Introduction:
The Internal Rate of Return (IRR) is the discount rate that will equate the present value of the cash inflows to the present value of the cash outflows.
The Net Present Value (NPV) is the difference between the present value of cash inflows and the present value of cash outflows of a proposal.

- Which is the better option if the interest rate is r=0.07 (r=7%)? Show all work used to arrive at your answer. a. Option I: Receive $510 today at time t=0. b. Option II: Receive $1000 at time t=10.arrow_forwardConsider a loan repayment plan described by the following initial value problem, where the amount borrowed is B(0) = $40,000, the monthly payments are $600, and B(t) is the unpaid balance of the loan. Use the initial value problem to answer parts a through c. B' (+) =0.03B - 600, B(0) = 40,000 a) Find the solution of the initial value problem and explain why B is an increasing solution. B(t) = Why is B an increasing function? O A. The function is increasing because it is an exponential function with a positive coefficient and a negative exponent. O B. The function is increasing because it is an exponential function with a positive coefficient and a positive exponent. O C. The function is increasing because it is an exponential function with a positive exponent. O D.

Group of answer choices The value of a perpetuity (say for $100 per year) will approach infinity as the interest rate used to evaluate the perpetuity approaches zero. If you are lending money, then, based on effective interest rates, you should prefer to lend at a 10 percent simple, or quoted, rate but with semiannual payments, rather than at a 10.1 percent simple rate with annual payments. However, as a borrower you should prefer the annual payment loan. The first payment under a 3-year, annual payment, amortized loan for $1,000 will include a smaller percentage (or fraction) of interest if the interest rate is 5 percent than if it is 10 percent. All of these.arrow_forward

As such, the present value of the expected loss is the actuarially fair insurance premium. Suppose your company wants to insure a building worth $390 million. The probability of loss is 1.29 percent in one year, and the relevant discount rate is 3.1 percent. a. What is the actuarially fair insurance premium?
