Answer: $126,613
Explanation:
Net Present value of Project A is:
= Present value of $50,000 annuity + Present value of residual value - Initial investment
Present value of $50,000 annuity:
= 50,000 * ( 1 - ( 1 + rate)^-number of periods) / rate
= 50,000 * ( 1 - ( 1 + 12%) ⁻⁸) / 12%
= $248,382
Present value of residual value:
= 8,000 / ( 1 + 12%)⁸
= $3,231
Net present value
= 248,382 + 3,231 - 125,000
= $126,613
According to the historical cost principle, if an asset costs $50,000 when it was purchased, and the one who purchased it still owns the asset today, it will have a higher value than $50,000. If the interest rate is assumed to be 5% for 5 years, the asset will be recorded as $63,814.08.
Answer
Miguel must set aside $62,745 annually
Explanation
N = Number of years till Miguel would retire = 43 years
FV = Future Value = $1,000,000
r = Interest rate = 10%
PMT = Annual payments (at the ending of the year) = ?? The question asks us to calculate this
We would use the future value ordinary annuity formula to calculate PMT
FV = PMT ![[\frac{(1+r )^{N} -1}{r} ]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5B%5Cfrac%7B%281%2Br%20%29%5E%7BN%7D%20-1%7D%7Br%7D%20%5D)
1000000 = PMT ![[\frac{(1+0.10 )^{10} -1}{0.10} ]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5B%5Cfrac%7B%281%2B0.10%20%29%5E%7B10%7D%20-1%7D%7B0.10%7D%20%5D)
PMT ≅ $62,745
Miguel must set aside $62,745 annually
