This can be done by simply referring to any provided information, providing specifics if any further action is required and including the sender's full contact information. Naturally there must also be a tone indicating a willingness to help but not with such cliché phrases such as, " Call me if you need any help".

Answer:
At 8.72% the company would be indifferent between accepting or rejecting the project
Explanation:
To be indifferent to accepting or rejecting the project, the initial cost of the project should equal the present value of all expected cash inflow to the project i.e. the Break-even point which is the point at which revenue = cost, thereby generating zero profit.
From the question, Young Pharmaceuticals is investing $2.42 million and expects an annual year end cash flow of $211,000 forever. We therefore apply the annuity to perpetuity formula
PV of perpetuity = Periodic cashflow/interest rate
cross multiply and make Interest the subject of the formular
= Interest = Periodic cashflow/PV of perpetuity
i = 211000/2420000
= 0.0872
= 8.72%
Contributions in excess of 10% limitation 1,500
Interest paid for tax-exempt bonds 1,000
Tax-exempt interest received 3,000
Federal income taxes 55,400
MACRS depreciation in excess of straight-line alternative depreciation system 1,500
a. $226,600
b. 220,600
c. $282,000
d. $228,600
Answer:
a. $226,600
Explanation:
Profit = $ (95000+185000-1500
- 1,000 + 3,000 - 55,400 + 1,500 )= $226000
items added back to profit are allowed deductions while items deducted are disallowed deductions
Depreciation was added back to profit because method used was in excess of straight line method and so does not reflect true depreciation
b. the higher the required rate of return on an investment
c. the lower the maturity premium required by the investors
d. the higher the money supply in the economy
e. the lower the tax rate in the economy
Answer: b. the higher the required rate of return on an investment
Explanation: Inflation is an increase in the general level of prices or in the cost of living. It is the decline in the value of money and as such it erodes the purchasing power of future cash flows or investments. All things being equal, higher inflation rates (current or expected) equates to rising yields across the yield curve. As a result, investors demand this higher yield to account for the risk of inflation. This makes option b the only option that is true and accurate.
The higher the expected rate of inflation, the higher the required rate of return on an investment.
The correct answer is b. The higher the expected rate of inflation, the higher the required rate of return on an investment. When the expected rate of inflation is high, investors require a higher rate of return to compensate for the loss in purchasing power of their money. This is because high inflation erodes the value of money over time, reducing the real return on an investment. Therefore, investors demand a higher rate of return to maintain their purchasing power.

Answer:
Alpha for A is 1.40%; Alpha for B is -0.2%.
Explanation:
First, we use the CAPM to calculate the required returns of the two portfolios A and B given the risks of the two portfolios( beta), the risk-free return rate ( T-bill rate) and the Market return rate (S&P 500) are given.
Required Return for A: Risk-free return rate + Beta for A x ( Market return rate - Risk-free return rate) = 5% + 0.7 x (13% - 5%) = 10.6%;
Required Return for A: Risk-free return rate + Beta for B x ( Market return rate - Risk-free return rate) = 5% + 1.4 x (13% - 5%) = 16.2%;
Second, we compute the alphas for the two portfolios:
Portfolio A: Expected return of A - Required return of A = 12% - 10.6% = 1.4%;
Portfolio B: Expected return of B - Required return of B = 16% - 16.2% = -0.2%.
