B. assume that Judy has a 8% hurdle rate for all investments. Rounding to the nearest dollar, compute the net present value of her investment in New and determine whethe she achieved her 8% goal

Explanation / Answer

A) prepartion of a dated listing of the cash inflows and outflows:

B) Computation of net present value of investment:

NPV= Present value of cash inflows-Present value of cash outflows

Total cash inflows=23800+875+175+4000 = $28,850

Present value of cash inflows= 28,850*0.926 = $26715

Present value of cash outflow = 23800*1 = $23,800

NPV = $26715-$23,800

NPV =$2915

Date Inflow/Outflow Particulars Amount 2/1/2014 outflow Purchase of 700 shares @ $34 per share 700*34=23,800 28/12/2014 inflow Dividend received on 700 shares @ $1.25 per share 700*1.25=$875 28/12/2014 inflow amount raised on 700 shares @ $0.25 per share 700*0.25=$175 30/12/2014 inflow sale of the stock & gain earned $4000
