One of your friends, Ali has Rs. 5000 of which he can make either of the two investments offered by XYZ Corporation. On the basis of following information, you are requested to advise him which proposal he should prefer keeping in mind the NPV analysis. Support your decision with necessary calculation.
Proposal 1:
This proposal is for the period of 4 years i.e. 2009 to 2012 and the initial investment is Rs. 5000. Cash inflows are given below:

Year
Cash inflows (Rs.)
2009
2000
2010
3000
2011
4000
2012
3000
Proposal 2:
Other option is to invest Rs. 3000 in XYZ Corporation in the year 2009 which will provide him a steady cash inflow of Rs. 1000 for 4 years (year 2009-2012).
And the remaining Rs. 2000 in ABC Corporation in the year 2009 which will provide him a steady cash inflow of Rs. 2000 for 4 years (year 2009-2012).
Whereas, the commercial banks provide 10% return on PLS saving account.

ANSWER:
Proposal 1:
NPV = -IO + SummationCFt/(1+i)^t
Now,
-IO = -5,000CFt = cash inflows for 1st, 2nd,3rd and 4th years are 2000, 3000, 4000 and 3000 respectively.i = 10%t = 4
Putting the values in the above formula:
NPV = -5000 + [2000/(1+0.1) + 3000/(1+0.1)^2 + 4000/(1+0.1)^3 + 3000/(1+0.1)^4]
NPV = +4351 Rs.
Proposal 2:
(i) XYZ Corporation:
-IO = -3000CFt = 1000 for 4 yearsi = 10%t = 4
Putting the values in NPV formula:
NPV1 = -3000 + [1000/(1+0.1) + 1000/(1+0.1)^2 + 1000/(1+0.1)^3 + 1000/(1+0.1)^4]
NPV1 = 169 Rs.
(ii) ABC Corporation:
-IO = -2000CFt = 2000 for 4 yearsi = 10%t = 4
NPV2 = -2000 + [2000/(1+0.1) + 2000/(1+0.1)^2 + 2000/(1+0.1)^3 + 2000/(1+0.1)^4]
NPV2 = 4340 Rs.
By adding NPV1 and NPV2, we'll get
NPV = NPV1 + NPV2NPV = +4509 Rs.
Since, NPV of proposal 2 is higher than proposal 1, so proposal 2 should be preferred.

Does the net income represent an amount of cash that can be withdrawn by the owner of a business? Explain.

Answer:
Net income represents amount of revenue minus expenses for the period of time in business. A business owner can withdraw from cash either on hand or in the company's bank account. Withdrawals of cash or other assets by the owner are not considered an expense of the business and therefore, are not a factor in determining the net income for the period. Since drawings by the owner do not constitute an expense, the owner drawing account is closed not into the income Summary account but directly to the owner capital account Revenue, Expense and Drawing(by owner) change owner equity.

Question # 1
At which layer lost packets are traced?
ANS:
Session Layer is the 3rd Layer from sender side and 5th layer from the receiver side of International organization for standard’s (ISO) model. This layer instructs to create communication link between the sending and receiving machine via combination of protocols. The modes of communication are simplex, half-duplex and full-duplex.

v Simplex means communication in one direction only.
v Half-duplex means communication in two directions but one party can send data at a time.
v Full-duplex means communication in two directions while both parties are able to send data at the same time.
It also places special checkpoints on data packets to trace any lost packets.

Question # 2
Write down three benefits of switching to IP Version 6.
ANS:
As the IP version 6 is the latest version then the IP version 4 so, no doubt it will be more improved one then the older version; here are three basic benefits that we can derive by switching to the IP version 6

1) Large address space.
2) Improved security
3) Better routing.
4) New header format
5) Efficient and hierarchical addressing and routing infrastructure
6) Stateless and state-full address configuration
7) Built-in security
8) Better support for quality of service (QoS)

Question # 3
You have four computers and a switch, you want to make a network of these computers using switch, which networking topology you will use?
ANS:
In this case when I have four computers and a switch to make a network using the switch, I’ll go for the STAR TOPOLGY. As I know that the switch is a computer networking device that connects network segments. It commonly refers to a network bridge that processes and routes data at the Data link layer of the OSI model. The switch which process data at the network layer is referred as Multilayer switches how ever it is generally not intelligent such as hub but the small network like 4 computers network can be easily made by using a switch in the star topology.
