Answer: $80 million per year for 25 years
Explanation:
The option you should choose is one that will guarantee you the highest present value.
This means that you need to discount the annual payment of $80 million per year for 25 years to find the present value. As you did not include a rate, we shall assume a rate of 8% for reference purposes.
The annual payment is an annuity so the present value can be calculated by:
Present value of annuity = Annuity payment * Present value interest factor, rate, no. of years
= 80,000,000 * Present value interest factor, 8%, 25 years
= 80,000,000 * 10.6748
= $853,984,000
<em>The present value of the annual payment is more than the present value of the $850 million received today so the Annual payment should be taken. </em>
Answer:
The correct answer is A. Both Laura and Cassie are correct.
Explanation:
Since Laura says that the present value of $ 700 to be received one year from today if the interest rate is 6 percent is less than the present value of $ 700 to be received two years from today if the interest rate is 3 percent, and Cassie says that $ 700 saved for one year at 6 percent interest has a smaller future value than $ 700 saved for two years at 3 percent interest, to determine who is right, the following calculations must be performed:
700 x 1.06 = 742
700 x 1.03 ^ 2 = 742.63
Therefore, both Laura and Cassie are correct in their claims.
Answer:
2nd option is correct.
Explanation:
Variable over head = (Actual Qty. - Standard Qty. ) * Standard cost
Efficiency variance
= (10125-9000) * 30
= $ 33750 (Un-Favorable)
2nd option is correct.
Variance is unfavorable because actual quantity used to produce is more than budgeted quantity allowed at that level of production.

This research is conducted largely for the enhancement of knowledge and is research which does not have immediate commercial potential.
Answer: The cost of capital for a firm with no debt in its capital structure.
Explanation:
Leverage in finance refers to the use of debt. Unlevered capital therefore would refer to capital that is without debt which means that an unlevered cost of capital is one with no debt in its capital structure.
Companies with such a capital structure derive their capital 100% from Equity and as such do not pay interest. This means however, that they will not benefit from the tax shields that interest payments offer.
