A man has $245,000 invested in three properties. One earns 12%, one 10% and one 8%. His annual income from the properties is $23

astraxan [27]

Answer:

for 8% investment = $110000

for 12% investment = $55000

for 10% investment = $80000

annual income for each property is

x amount for 8% investment = $8800

y amount for 12% investment = $6600

z amount for 10% investment = $8000

Explanation:

Given data

investment = $245000

rate 1 = 12%

rate 2 = 10%

rate 3 = 8%

annual income = $23400

rate = 8% twice that invested at 12%

to find out

invested in each property and the annual income from each property

solution

let us consider x amount for 8% investment

and consider y amount for 12% investment

and consider z amount for 10% investment

from question we say, 8% is twice that invested at 12%

x = 2y ........1

and

x + y + z = 245000 .............2

put 1 in equation 2

2y + y + z = 245000

z = 245000 - 3y ...................3

and we can say that

0.08x + 0.12y + 0.10z = 23400 ...........................4

put equation 1 and 3 in 4

0.08(2y) + 0.12y + 0.10( 245000 - 3y ) = 23400

0.16y + 0.12y - 0.3y = -1100

0.02y = 1100

y = $55000

so x = 2(y) = 2(5500) = $110000

and z = 245000 - 3(55000) = $80000

so annual income for each property is

x amount for 8% investment = 0.08 × 110000 = $8800

y amount for 12% investment = 0.12 × 55000 = $6600

z amount for 10% investment = 0.10 × 80000 = $8000

Oksanka [162]

Answer:

Year Cashflow [email protected]% PV

$ $

0 (750,000) 1 (750,000)

1 350,000 0.9259 324,065

2 325,000 0.8573 278,623

3 250,000 0.7938 198.450

4 180,000 0.7350 132,300

NPV 184,438

The correct answer is D. The difference in answers is due to rounding error.

Explanation:

Net present value is the diffrence between initial outlay and present value of inflow. We need to discount the cash inflows for year 1 to year 4 at 8% and then calculate the present value of cash inflows by multiplying the cash inflows by the discount factors. Finally, we will calculate NPV by deducting the initial outlay from the present value of cash inflows.
