Answer:

Kindly see explanation

Explanation:

Given the following:

Initial investment = $8,000,000

Future value (FV) = $10,000,000

PERIOD (t) = 5 Years

To know if the form should undertake the project, the present value(PV) at each interest rate should be calculated ;

A.) Interest rate (r) = 7% = 0.07

PV = FV / (1 + r)^t

PV = 10,000,000 / (1 + 0.07)^5

PV = 10,000,000 / 1.07^5

PV = 10,000,000 / 1.4025517307

PV = $7,129,861.79483668

Should not be undertaken, PV is less than initial investment.

B.) Interest rate (r) = 6% = 0.06

PV = FV / (1 + r)^t

PV = 10,000,000 / (1 + 0.06)^5

PV = 10,000,000 / 1.06^5

PV = 10,000,000 / 1.3382255776

PV = $7,472,581.72866057

Should not be undertaken, PV is less than initial investment.

C.) Interest rate (r) = 5% = 0.05

PV = FV / (1 + r)^t

PV = 10,000,000 / (1 + 0.05)^5

PV = 10,000,000 / 1.05^5

PV = 10,000,000 / 1.2762815625

PV = $7,835,261.66468459

Should not be undertaken, PV is less than initial investment

D.)Interest rate (r) = 4% = 0.04

PV = FV / (1 + r)^t

PV = 10,000,000 / (1 + 0.04)^5

PV = 10,000,000 / 1.04^5

PV = 10,000,000 / 1.2166529024

PV = $8,219,271.06759351

Should be undertaken, PV is greater than initial investment

blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

A. 12.1%

B. 8.9%

Explanation:

a. Calculation for What is the company's new cost of equity

Using this formula

New cost of equity=Cost of capital+[(Cost of capital- Debt interest rate ) *(Debt-equity ratio)*(1)]

Let plug in the formula

New cost of equity=[0.089+[(0.089-0.057)*(1)*1]

New cost of equity=[0.089+0.032*(1)*1]

New cost of equity=[0.121*(1)*1]

New cost of equity=0.121*100

New cost of equity=12.1%

Therefore the company's new cost of equity will be 12.1%

b. Calculation for What is its new WACC

Particular Weight Cost Weighted cost

Equity 0.5000 *12.1% = 0.0605

Debt 0.5000 * 5.7% =0.0285

WACC =0.089*100

WACC =8.9%

(0.0605+0.0285)

Therefore the new WACC will be 8.9%

What does immelt mean by the "digitization of the industrial world" and "the industrial internet?" what are the four central ele
AveGali [126]

1.- Digitization in the industry happens on an evolutionary basic and in the industrial world data and data analytics is the core of the company.

Sensors produce data from the machines, the  details then collected by cloud computers, the analytic software processes the data and the information is used to monitor machine performance for the purpose of optimizing the performance. Then the results are then sold to business clients.

The key elements of the industrial market place are as follows:

I. Intelligent machines with advanced censors control and software appilcations.

II.Advanced analytics to process the data.

III. People at work to connect with people for higher service quality

IV. Contracting the right person.

2.- .i. Acquiring the companies or making its own digital firm.  

ii. Having partners who can do the task or do it by ourselves.  

iii. Outsourcing the project to someone else.  

3.-Among these alternatives GE choose to develop its own new digital capabilities within  the company to capture the full value of the digital firm. If GE had chosen to have  other organization do the task then it could have cost a lot more in the long run.

4. Because analytics is taking now a more important role.

5.-  A single flight from New York to California can produce more than one terabytes of data from  different sensors on the plane. And this information is important for decision making.

6.- Companies need to combine technology, people and business models to  get an integrated system.  

7.-The existing labor force of the company is trained to do manufacturing work and they  do not have the right skills needed to become a digital firm. For this GE has to recruit  differently and create different teams. Different project managers have to be hired,  different sales person have to be hired, different on sight support have to be hired and  so on. Company also needs to hire data scientists and work into analytics while not  ignoring its industrial origins or manufacturing base.

8.-By “culture of simplification” Immelt means internal change of the company and  cultural simplification. In the digital age sitting down once in a year to do anything is  not acceptable may it be business review, strategic planning or whatever. For this  there should be fewer layers and processes for decision making, setting “fast works”  or schedules with everything on a defined clock.
