Para melhorar a educação financeira de seus clientes quanto ao uso do crédito, um banco contratou uma empresa de análise de risco, que classifica os clientes quanto à propensão de usar o cheque especial, em dois tipos: A e B, sendo o tipo A propenso a usar o cheque especial, e o tipo B, a não usar o cheque especial. Para uma determinada agência, um estudo da empresa mostrou que a probabilidade de um cliente tipo A usar o cheque especial, em um intervalo de um ano, é de 80%. Já para o tipo B, a probabilidade de usar é de 10%, no mesmo intervalo de tempo. Considere que, nessa agência, 30% dos clientes são considerados do tipo A.
Nesse contexto, se um cliente entrou no cheque especial, a probabilidade de que seja do tipo A, é de, aproximadamente,

  • A 65%
  • B 70%
  • C 77%

Uma empresa planeja comprar, em janeiro 2024, um equipamento cujo preço à vista é de R$ 4 milhões. Desse valor, 20% serão financiados em duas prestações anuais e iguais, a serem pagas daqui a exatos 1 e 2 anos, da data planejada da compra, respectivamente, em janeiro de 2025 e em janeiro de 2026.

Considerando-se a equivalência financeira a juros compostos, se a taxa de juros cobrada no financiamento é de 10% ao ano, a melhor aproximação para o valor de cada uma dessas duas prestações, em milhares de reais, é

  • A 461
  • B 472
  • C 484
  • D 492
  • E 498

Matemática Financeira

12

Uma empresa, com restrição orçamentária, precisa decidir entre dois projetos mutuamente excludentes. O projeto M possui taxa interna de retorno de 12%, e o projeto P, de 14%. Os projetos apresentam riscos iguais, e, quando o custo de capital é de 7%, os projetos geram o mesmo valor presente líquido.

A partir dos elementos oferecidos, constata-se que a avaliação adequada, na comparação entre a viabilidade dos projetos M e P, está descrita a seguir:

  • A se o custo de capital é 13%, o projeto P é melhor que o projeto M.
  • B se o custo de capital é 13%, o projeto M é melhor que o projeto P.
  • C se o custo de capital é de 7%, o projeto P é melhor que o projeto M.
  • D se o custo de capital é de 7%, o projeto M é melhor que o projeto P.
  • E os dois projetos devem ser colocados em prática, pois a taxa interna de retorno de ambos é maior que o custo de capital.
13

O valor presente líquido de uma máquina é o valor presente do(s)

  • A lucro menos o custo do investimento
  • B fluxos de caixa dividido pelo investimento inicial
  • C fluxos de caixa menos o custo do investimento
  • D fluxos de caixa menos o investimento inicial
  • E lucro líquido dos impostos menos o custo do investimento
14

O método de avaliação econômica que é obtido pela diferença entre o valor presente dos benefícios líquidos de caixa, previstos para cada período de duração do projeto, e o valor presente do investimento denomina-se

  • A Taxa Interna de Retorno
  • B Taxa Interna de Retorno Modificada
  • C Payback
  • D Valor Presente Líquido
  • E Índice de Lucratividade
15

Uma empresa requer uma taxa de retorno de 10%, porém, ao utilizar o método do Valor Presente Líquido para avaliar um projeto, o resultado apresentado foi zero.

Isso significa que a(o)

  • A taxa interna de retorno do projeto excede 10%.
  • B taxa interna de retorno é menor que a taxa mínima exigida da empresa.
  • C projeto é economicamente viável ao ter uma taxa de desconto de 10%.
  • D projeto é economicamente inviável ao ter uma taxa de desconto de 10%, ou seja, apresentar resultado negativo.
  • E projeto é economicamente viável se a taxa de desconto for menor do que 10%.
16

Uma empresa está avaliando a viabilidade econômico-financeira de dois projetos de investimentos, denominados X e Y. Os projetos foram inicialmente considerados como tendo apresentado o mesmo nível de risco das atividades econômicas usuais da empresa. O payback descontado encontrado para o projeto X apresentou um resultado de 3 anos, e para o projeto Y, um resultado de 5 anos. O projeto Y, após reavaliação, foi considerado de maior risco e, por isso, passou a apresentar um payback descontado de 6 anos, devido ao aumento no seu custo médio ponderado de capital.

Sendo assim, o

  • A VPL de X é certamente maior do que o VPL de Y.
  • B VPL de Y é certamente maior do que o VPL de X
  • C VPL de Y pode ser maior do que o VPL de X.
  • D VPL de Y é igual ao VPL de X.
  • E VPL de X ou o VPL de Y pode ser negativo.
17

Os gestores de uma empresa decidiram financiar um novo investimento por intermédio de um empréstimo bancário de longo prazo, a taxa de juros fixa, em vez de usar os recursos financeiros próprios da empresa, os quais continuam aplicados a curto prazo nos bancos.
A opção pelo financiamento a longo prazo a taxa de juros fixa, em relação ao uso dos recursos próprios da empresa, levará a que

  • A a despesa financeira futura da empresa seja menor.
  • B a receita financeira futura da empresa seja menor.
  • C a empresa corra riscos, devido ao descasamento de prazos do empréstimo longo, a taxa de juros fixa, e das aplicações de curto prazo dos recursos próprios.
  • D os recursos próprios disponíveis dificultem o eventual aproveitamento de oportunidades de investimento.
  • E uma subida das taxas de juros de curto prazo prejudique a empresa, reduzindo sua receita financeira.
18

Um cliente contraiu um financiamento para a compra de um imóvel, cujo valor à vista é de 360 mil reais, no Sistema de Amortização Constante (SAC), com um prazo de 25 anos, taxa de juro de 1% ao mês, e uma entrada no valor de 60 mil reais na data da assinatura do contrato, reduzindo assim o valor a ser financiado. Considere que as prestações comecem um mês após a assinatura do contrato e sejam compostas de amortização, juros sobre o saldo devedor do mês anterior, seguro especial no valor de 50 reais mensais fixos no primeiro ano e despesa administrativa mensal fixa no valor de 25 reais. Desconsidere quaisquer outros reajustes ou acréscimos no saldo devedor além dos apresentados.
A partir dessas informações, o valor, em reais, da terceira prestação desse financiamento é igual a

  • A 3.980,00
  • B 3.985,00
  • C 4.055,00
  • D 4.065,00
  • E 4.075,00
19

Um empreendedor monta uma estratégia de investimento de médio prazo que consiste em investir uma mesma quantia fixa, sempre em janeiro, durante quatro anos consecutivos, sendo o primeiro aporte programado para jan/23, e o último, para jan/26. Ele planeja deixar todo o montante aplicado até jan/27, data em que pretende resgatar um total de 100.000 reais, zerando sua posição no investimento. Desconsidere o efeito da inflação na correção dos valores e considere uma taxa de juro de 10% ao ano, no sistema de juros compostos.
Com tais premissas, o valor mínimo necessário para atingir a meta estabelecida aproxima-se melhor de
Dado 1,14 = 1,4641 1,13 = 1,331

  • A R$ 19.588,00
  • B R$ 19.878,00
  • C R$ 20.468,00
  • D R$ 21.068,00
  • E R$ 21.238,00
20

Em um estudo de viabilidade técnica e econômica de um projeto de aquisição de um software, ficou determinado que havia 3 opções possíveis:
• Comprar o software à vista, com o preço de R$ 100.000,00; • Comprar o software a prazo, pagando R$ 50.000,00 de entrada e R$ 10.000,00 por mês, nos 5 meses seguintes; • Comprar o software a prazo, sem entrada, pagando R$ 20.000,00 por mês durante 5 meses, com o primeiro pagamento no mês seguinte à compra.
Considerando-se uma taxa de desconto de 2% ao mês, e tomando-se a decisão apenas pela escolha da opção com o menor Valor Presente Líquido (VPL), conclui-se que

  • A a compra do software deve ser feita à vista.
  • B a compra do software deve ser feita a prazo, sem entrada.
  • C a compra do software deve ser feita a prazo, com entrada.
  • D a compra do software deve ser feita através de qualquer das duas compras a prazo, pois são equivalentes e melhores que a opção à vista.
  • E não faz diferença comprar através de qualquer uma das três opções.

How space technology is bringing
green wins for transport


1     Space technology is developing fast, and, with every advance, it is becoming more accessible to industry. Today, satellite communications (satcoms) and space-based data are underpinning new ways of operating that boost both sustainability and profitability. Some projects are still in the planning stages, offering great promise for the future. However, others are already delivering practical results.

2     The benefits of space technology broadly fall into two categories: connectivity that can reach into situations where terrestrial technologies struggle to deliver and the deep, unique insights delivered by Earth Observation (EO) data. Both depend on access to satellite networks, particularly medium earth orbit (MEO) and low earth orbit (LEO) satellites that offer low-latency connectivity and frequently updated data. Right now, the satellite supplier market is booming, driving down the cost of access to satellites. Suppliers are increasingly tailoring their services to emerging customer needs and the potential applications are incredible – as a look at the transportation sector shows.

3    Satellite technology is a critical part of revolutionizing connectivity on trains. The Satellites for Digitalization of Railways (SODOR) project will provide low latency, highly reliable connectivity that, combined with monitoring sensors, will mean near realtime data guides operational decisions. This insight will help trains run more efficiently with fewer delays for passengers. Launching this year, SODOR will help operators reduce emissions by using the network more efficiently, allowing preventative maintenance and extending the lifetime of some existing trains. It will also make rail travel more attractive and help shift more passengers from road to rail (that typically emits even less CO2 per passenger than electric cars do).

4      Satellite data and communications will also play a fundamental role in shaping a sustainable future for road vehicles. Right now, the transport sector contributes around 14% of the UK’s greenhouse gas emissions, of which 91% is from road vehicles – and this needs to change.

5     A future where Electric Vehicles (EV) dominate will need a smart infrastructure to monitor and control the electricity network, managing highly variable supply and demand, as well as a large network of EV charging points. EO data will be critical in future forecasting models for wind and solar production, to help manage a consistent flow of green energy.

6      Satellite communications will also be pivotal. As more wind and solar installations join the electricity network – often in remote locations – satcoms will  step in to deliver highly reliable connectivity where 4G struggles to reach. It will underpin a growing network of EV charging points, connecting each point to the internet for operational management purposes, for billing and access app functionality and for the users’ comfort, they may access the system wherever they are.

7   Satellite technology will increasingly be a part of the vehicles themselves, particularly when automated driving becomes more mainstream. It will be essential for every vehicle to have continuous connectivity to support real-time software patches, map updates and inter-vehicle communications. Already, satellites provide regular software updates to vehicles and enhanced safety through an in-car emergency call service.

8       At our company, we have been deeply embedded in the space engineering for more than 40 years – and we continue to be involved with the state-of-the-art technologies and use cases. We have a strong track record of translating these advances into practical benefits for our customers that make sense on both a business and a sustainability level.

How space technology is bringing
green wins for transport


1     Space technology is developing fast, and, with every advance, it is becoming more accessible to industry. Today, satellite communications (satcoms) and space-based data are underpinning new ways of operating that boost both sustainability and profitability. Some projects are still in the planning stages, offering great promise for the future. However, others are already delivering practical results.

2     The benefits of space technology broadly fall into two categories: connectivity that can reach into situations where terrestrial technologies struggle to deliver and the deep, unique insights delivered by Earth Observation (EO) data. Both depend on access to satellite networks, particularly medium earth orbit (MEO) and low earth orbit (LEO) satellites that offer low-latency connectivity and frequently updated data. Right now, the satellite supplier market is booming, driving down the cost of access to satellites. Suppliers are increasingly tailoring their services to emerging customer needs and the potential applications are incredible – as a look at the transportation sector shows.

3    Satellite technology is a critical part of revolutionizing connectivity on trains. The Satellites for Digitalization of Railways (SODOR) project will provide low latency, highly reliable connectivity that, combined with monitoring sensors, will mean near realtime data guides operational decisions. This insight will help trains run more efficiently with fewer delays for passengers. Launching this year, SODOR will help operators reduce emissions by using the network more efficiently, allowing preventative maintenance and extending the lifetime of some existing trains. It will also make rail travel more attractive and help shift more passengers from road to rail (that typically emits even less CO2 per passenger than electric cars do).

4      Satellite data and communications will also play a fundamental role in shaping a sustainable future for road vehicles. Right now, the transport sector contributes around 14% of the UK’s greenhouse gas emissions, of which 91% is from road vehicles – and this needs to change.

5     A future where Electric Vehicles (EV) dominate will need a smart infrastructure to monitor and control the electricity network, managing highly variable supply and demand, as well as a large network of EV charging points. EO data will be critical in future forecasting models for wind and solar production, to help manage a consistent flow of green energy.
