Consider the following project. You own a mining company. A land owner has approached you about a deal. The land owner has recently discovered that there is an abundance of diamonds buried on the property. The land owner knows nothing of mining, and has no desire to learn. The land owner would like you and your company to mine the diamonds. The landowner will retain ownership of the diamonds, your company will simply get them out of the earth. In exchange, the landowner will pay you an upfront fee of $1,000,000 today, and then a bonus of $3,000,000 in four years from now (when the mine is depleted). You will have to cover your own operating costs during the project. Your operating costs will be $600,000, $700,000, $800,000, and $1,000,000 in years one, two, three, and four respectively. What is the IRR of this project

Lambert manufacturing has $100,000 to invest in either project a or project b. the following data are available on these projects (ignore income taxes.): project a project b cost of equipment needed now $100,000 $60,000 working capital investment needed now - $40,000 annual cash operating inflows $40,000 $35,000 salvage value of equipment in 6 years $10,000 - both projects will have a useful life of 6 years and the total cost approach to net present value analysis. at the end of 6 years, the working capital investment will be released for use elsewhere. lambert's required rate of return is 14%. the net present value of project b is:

Rate of return, standard deviation, coefficient of variation personal finance problem mike is searching for a stock to include in his current stock portfolio. he is interested in hi-tech inc.; he has been impressed with the company's computer products and believes hi-tech is an innovative market player. however, mike realizes that any time you consider a technology stock, risk is a major concern. the rule he follows is to include only securities with a coefficient of variation of returns below 1.07. mike has obtained the following price information for the period 2015 through 2018:hi-tech stock, being growth-oriented, did not pay any dividends during these 4 years. a. calculate the rate of return for each year, 2015 through 2018, for hi-tech stock. b. assume that each year's return is equally probable and calculate the average return over this time period. c. calculate the standard deviation of returns over the past 4 years. (hint: treat this data as a sample.) d. based on b and c determine the coefficient of variation of returns for the security. e. given the calculation in d what should be mike's decision regarding the inclusion of hi-tech stock in his portfolio?
