Imagine that you calculate the inflation rate of some economy using the CPI. You get that inflation in 2008 was 22.4%, in 2009 w

as 12.5% and in 2010 was 3.9%. For your method you used 2010 as the base year, but your friend (who is a mathematical genius) tells you that your calculations would be more accurate if you used as base year 2008. What will be true about these new calculations?

Answer:

The calculation will be more accurate, because the base year is the oldest.

CPI is calculated as

(P_n / P_base - 1)*100

as:

P_n prices at time n

The mathematical reason why it is better to take the oldest year is that % growth works better

A company is evaluating an investment which has an initial investment of $4,000. Annual net cash flows is expected to be $2,000
uysha [10]

Answer:

The NPV of the project is $974.

Explanation:

The net present value is the today's value of a stream of cash flows. The net present value will be the sum of all the expected future cash flows from a project less the initial investment required for the project and it is used to evaluate the investment decisions.

The net present value of an investment project will be:

NPV = CF1 / (1+r) + CF2 / (1+r)^2 + ... + CFn / (1+r)^n - Initial investment

or

If the cash flows are constant or of same amount through out, occur after the same interval of time and are for a defined period of time, they become an annuity and the NPV of such a project can be calculated by,

NPV = (Cash flow per period * Present value of Annuity factor) - Initial cost

The NPV of this project will be = (2000 * 2.4869) - 4000 = 973.8 rounded off to $974
