The net present value (NPV) method estimates how much a potential project will contribute to (-Select-business ethics, shareholders' wealth ,employee benefits), and it is the best selection criterion. The( -Select-smaller larger) the NPV, the more value the project adds; and added value means a (-Select-higher,lower) stock price. In equation form, the NPV is defined as:

CF_t is the expected cash flow at Time t, r is the project's risk-adjusted cost of capital, and N is its life, and cash outflows are treated as negative cash flows. The NPV calculation assumes that cash inflows can be reinvested at the project's risk-adjusted (-Select-rd, rs, WACC). When the firm is considering independent projects, if the project's NPV exceeds zero the firm should (-Select-accept, reject) the project. When the firm is considering mutually exclusive projects, the firm should accept the project with the (-Select-lowest positive, lowest negative, highest positive ,highest negative) NPV.

Quantitative Problem: Bellinger Industries is considering two projects for inclusion in its capital budget, and you have been asked to do the analysis. Both projects' after-tax cash flows are shown on the time line below. Depreciation, salvage values, net operating working capital requirements, and tax effects are all included in these cash flows. Both projects have 4-year lives, and they have risk characteristics similar to the firm's average project. Bellinger's WACC is 7%.

What is Project A's NPV? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest cent.

Jim has decided to contribute some equipment he previously used in his sole proprietorship in exchange for a 10 percent profits and capital interest in Fast Choppers LLC. Jim originally paid $200,000 cash for the equipment. Since then, the tax basis in the equipment has been reduced to $100,000 because of tax depreciation, and the fair market value of the equipment is now $150,000.

A) Must Jim recognize any of the potential §1245 recapture when he contributes the machinery to Fast Choppers? [Hint: See §1245(b)(3).]

B) What cost recovery method will Fast Choppers use to depreciate the machinery? [Hint: See §168(i)(7).]

C) If Fast Choppers were to immediately sell the equipment Jim contributed for $150,000, how much gain would Jim recognize and what is its character? [Hint: See §1245 and 704(c).]

b. It increases heat production by speeding up the rate of blood flow throughout the body.

c. It vasoconstricts peripheral blood vessels and directs blood flow to the core of the body.

d. It increases sweat production in hot environments.

2. Depending on the environment, heat can be lost or gained through various channels. Which of the following statements are true about heat transfer during exercise? Select all that apply.

Select one or more:

a. Wind increases heat loss via convection

b. Heat produced by active muscles is picked up by circulating blood and transported to other parts of the body.

c. On hot days, heat can be radiated from the ground to the body.

d. Convection occurs when sun rays heat the body on hot days.

3. Mary is exercising outside on a hot humid day and is sweating a lot. What statement is likely true about Mary's condition?

Select one:

a. Mary's risk for heat stress is reduced due to the humid air and a high sweat rate.

Contribute Wiki on given topic: Systematic risk and expected returns in emerging markets. Systematic risk, also known as "market risk" or "un-diversifiable risk", is the doubt inherent to the entire market. Also brought up to as volatility systematic risk consists of the day-to-day fluctuations in a stock's price. Volatility is a criterion of risk because it refers to the behavior, or "temperament," of your investment rather than the reason for this behavior. Because market movement is the cause why people can make money from stocks, volatility is essential for returns, and the more unstable the investment the more chance there is that it will experience a dramatic change in either direction.
