iption Problem 1 Douglas Keel, a financial analyst for Orange Industries, wishes to estimate the rate of return for two similar-risk investments, X and Y. Douglas's research indicates that the immediate past returns will serve as reasonable estimates of future returns. A year earlier, investment X had a market value of $27,000; and investment Y had a market value of \$64,000. During the year, investment X generated cash flow of $2,025 and investment Y generated cash flow of $ 7,327. The current market values of investments X and Y are $27,781 and $64,000, respectively. a. Calculate the expected rate of return on investments X and Y using the most recent year's data. Submit Assignment

Question content area top Part 1 (Present value of complex cash flows) You have an opportunity to make an investment that will pay $300 at the end of the first year, $100 at the end of the second year, $500 at the end of the third year, $300 at the end of the fourth year, and $400 at the end of the fifth year. a. Find the present value if the interest rate is 12 percent. (Hint: You can simply bring each cash flow back to the present and then add them up. Another way to work this problem is to either use the =NPV function in Excel or to use your CF key on a financial calculator—but you'll want to check your calculator's manual before you use this key. Keep in mind that with the =NPV function in Excel, there is no initial outlay. That is, all this function does is bring all the future cash flows back to the present. With a financial calculator, you should keep in mind that CF0 is the initial outlay or cash flow at time 0, and, because there is no cash flow at time…
