How many customers purchased more than 1 product? (Hint: Customer ID stays the same per customer when he/she buys several food boxes)

Please Tell me the steps on how this would be solved using Excel. Note that this is not the full excel data but just a small sample.

Part 1. Suppose your firm is considering investing in a project with the cash flows shown below, that the required rate of return on projects of this risk class is 11 percent, and that the maximum allowable payback and discounted payback statistics for your company are 3 and 3.5 years, respectively.

Use the NPV decision rule to evaluate this project. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your final answer to 2 decimal places.)

Part 2.  

Suppose your firm is considering investing in a project with the cash flows shown below, that the required rate of return on projects of this risk class is 11 percent, and that the maximum allowable payback and discounted payback statistics for your company are 3 and 3.5 years, respectively.

Use the payback decision rule to evaluate this project. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

Part 3.

Suppose your firm is considering investing in a project with the cash flows shown below, that the required rate of return on projects of this risk class is 11 percent, and that the maximum allowable payback and discounted payback statistics for your company are 3 and 3.5 years, respectively.

Use the IRR decision rule to evaluate this project. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your final answer to 2 decimal places.)

(R code needed) Lifetimes of electronic components manufactured by an electronic company are assumed to follow an Exp(λ) distribution with mean 1/λ.

Suppose r_RF = 4%, r_M = 11%, and b_i = 2.2.

1. What is r_i, the required rate of return on Stock i? Round your answer to two decimal places.
     %

2. 1. Now suppose r_RF increases to 5%. The slope of the SML remains constant. How would this affect r_M and r_i?

   1. r_M will remain the same and r_i will increase by 1%.
   2. r_M will increase by 1% and r_i will remain the same.
   3. Both r_M and r_i will decrease by 1%.
   4. Both r_M and r_i will remain the same.
   5. Both r_M and r_i will increase by 1%.

2. Now suppose r_RF decreases to 3%. The slope of the SML remains constant. How would this affect r_M and r_i?

1. 
   
2. 1. Both r_M and r_i will remain the same.
   2. Both r_M and r_i will decrease by 1%.
   3. r_M will decrease by 1% and r_i will remain the same.
   4. r_M will remain the same and r_i will decrease by 1%.
   5. Both r_M and r_i will increase by 1%.

1. Now assume that r_RF remains at 4%, but r_M increases to 12%. The slope of the SML does not remain constant. How would these changes affect r_i? Round your answer to two decimal places.

1. The new r_i will be   %.

   2. Now assume that r_RF remains at 4%, but r_M falls to 10%. The slope of the SML does not remain constant. How would these changes affect r_i? Round your answer to two decimal places.

   The new r_i will be   %.
