Answer:
A) $56.5
Explanation:
Data:
Project S
Initial cost $10,000
Y1 CF = $6,000
y2 CF = $8,000
Project L
Initial Investment = $10,000
Y1-Y4 CF = $4,373
Solution:
<u>For Project S</u>
We shall prolong the project to four years so it can be easily compared to project L
Following shall be the cashflow stream:
Y0=-$10,000 Y1=$6,000 Y2=-$2,000($8,000 CF - $10,000 outlay for prolonging the project second time) Y3=$6,000 Y4=$8,000
Now to discount the cashflow
<u>For Project L</u>
In order to calculate present value of the annuity, following formula will be used:
<em>NPV = Initial outlay - PV</em>
Now, we can easily calculate how much value will the firm gain or lose if Project L is selected over Project S
<em>*all figures are rounded off to two decimal points*</em>
Answer:

Explanation:
- Would an investment generate attractive returns?
- What is the degree of risk inherent in the investment?
- Should existing investment holdings be liquidated?
- Will cash flows be sufficient to service interest and principal payments to support the
firm's borrowing needs?
- Does the company provide a good opportunity for employment, future advancement, and
employee benefits?

- <span>Is this firm a good prospect as a customer?</span>
Answer:
the costs that change depending on a company's performance
Explanation:
Variable costs refer to the costs that fluctuate with the level of production. An increase or decrease in the output level results in variable costs moving in the same direction. If the business stops production, the variable costs will be nil.
Raw materials and packaging costs are good examples of variable costs. The more a company produces, the more materials it consumes, and the higher the costs of purchasing the materials.
In this problem, we need to find the length of an annuity. We already identified the interest rate, the PV, and the payments.
Using the PVA equation: PVA =C({1 – [1/(1 +r)t]} /r
$18,000 = $750{[1 – (1/1.019) t] / 0.019}
Then solve for t:
1/1.019t= 1 − {[($18,000)/($750)](0.019)}
1/1.019t= 0.544
1.019t= 1/(0.544) = 1.838
t= ln 2.193 / ln 1.019 = 32.34 months or 2.7 in years
