Dog Up! Franks is looking at a new sausage system with an installed cost of $460,000. This cost will be depreciated straight-lin

e to zero over the project's five-year life, at the end of which the sausage system can be scrapped for $55,000. The sausage system will save the firm $155,000 per year in pretax operating costs, and the system requires an initial investment in net working capital of $29,000. If the tax rate is 21 percent and the discount rate is 10 percent, what is the NPV of this project?

Answer:

The Net Present Value (NPV) of this project is <u>$93,405.59</u>.

Explanation:

Note: Find attached the excel file for the calculation of the NPV of this project.

Net present value (NPV) refers to the present value of cash inflows minus the present value of cash outflows over a specified period of time.

On its own, present value (PV) refers the value that a future sum of money or stream of cash flows has now or currently given a specified rate of return. The formula for calculating the PV is given as follows:

PV = FV / (1 + r)^n

Where,

FV = Future value

r = discount rate. This is given as 10% in this question

n = Relevant period, e.g. year

The above explanation and formula together with other stated formulae in the attached excel file is used in calculating the NPV of this project.

Whitepunk [10]

Answer: D) present value of the remaining lease payments.

Explanation:

When recording a capital lease in the balance sheet of the lessee, the amount recorded is the<em> lower amount </em>between the present value of the remaining lease payments or the cost of the leased asset.

As the <em>cost</em> of the leased asset is <em>equal</em> to the <em>initial</em> present value of the payments, the cost will therefore be higher than the current present value of the remaining payments so the appropriate amount to put in the balance sheet will be the current present value of the remaining lease payments.

Suppose the town of boone has a total population of 50,000 people. of those, 45,000 people are employed. there are 1,000 full-ti
slega [8]
Population - 50,000
Employed - 45,000
Students not looking for work - 1,000

To calculate Boone's unemployment rate you'll use the formula: 
Unemployment rate = number of people unemployed / labor force

Those that fall into the unemployment category are those that are not working but are actively looking/wanting to work. Students, stay-at-home moms etc that are not wanting to work, though unemployed, to not fall into this category.

The labor force is made up of everyone willing and able to work.

First, let's subtract the students who are not looking for work from the population so get the labor force. 50,000 - 1,000 = 49,000 (labor force)

Next, to get the number of people unemployed let us subtract the labor force of 49,000 by those already employed of 45,000. 49,000 - 45,000 = 4,000

Finally, we are able to calculate the unemployment rate of Boone. 
Unemployment rate = number of people unemployed / labor force
Unemployment rate = 4,000/49,000= .081 multiply by 100 to get the percentage. 8.1%
Unemployment rate of Boone is 8.1%
