If you solve for I and get a negative number, then you must have made a mistake. b. If CF0 is positive and all the other CFs are negative, then you cannot solve for I. c. If you have a series of cash flows, each of which is positive, you can solve for I, where the solution value of I causes the PV of the cash flows to equal the cash flow at Time 0. d. To solve for I, one must identify the value of I that causes the PV of the positive CFs to equal the absolute value of the PV of the negative CFs. This is, essentially, a trial-and-error procedure that is easy with a computer or financial calculator but quite difficult otherwise. e. If you have a series of cash flows, and CF0 is negative but each of the following CFs is positive, you can solve for I, but only if the sum of the undiscounted cash flows exceeds the cost.

Households start saving a larger percentage of their income. c. The level of inflation begins to decline. d. The economy moves from a boom to a recession. e.

Which of the following would lower the calculated value of the investment? Select one: a. The cash flows are in the form of a deferred annuity, and they total to $100,000. You learn that the annuity lasts for only 5 rather than 10 years, hence that each payment is for $20,000 rather than for $10,000. b. The riskiness of the investment??s cash flows decreases. c. The discount rate increases. d. The total amount of cash flows remains the same, but more of the cash flows are received in the earlier years and less are received in the later years. e. The discount rate decreases. You plan to invest some money in a bank account. Which of the following banks provides you with the highest effective rate of interest? Select one: a.
