Slim made a single deposit of $5,000 in an account that pays 7.2% in 2015. What equal-sized annual withdrawals can Slim make fro
evablogger [386]

Answer:

annual withdrawals is  $1,393.87

Explanation:

given data

Amount Deposited = $5,000

Annual Interest Rate = 7.2%

First withdrawal =  2020

last withdrawal = 2025

solution

we consider equal sized annual withdrawals = x

so we can say that Amount Deposited amount will be as

$5,000 = \frac{x}{(1+0.72)^5} + \frac{x}{(1+0.72)^6} + \frac{x}{(1+0.72)^7} + \frac{x}{(1+0.72)^8} + \frac{x}{(1+0.72)^9} + \frac{x}{(1+0.72)^{10}}       ..........1

we take common here \frac{x}{(1+0.72)^{4}}

so

$5,000 = \frac{x}{(1+0.72)^{4}} \times ( \frac{1}{(1+0.72)^1} + \frac{1}{(1+0.72)^2} + \frac{1}{(1+0.72)^3} + \frac{1}{(1+0.72)^4} + \frac{1}{(1+0.72)^5} + \frac{1}{(1+0.72)^{6}} )      

solve it we get

x = $1,393.87  

so that annual withdrawals is  $1,393.87

Which of the following statement(s) is/are False? Assume a positive interest rate
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

False Statement:

B. Only II is False.

Explanation:

If the cash flow from a project is farther out, the present value will be lower, all else being equal.  This is because of the time value of money.  This concept states that the money you receive today is higher in value than the same amount received in the future.  And if the future is father out, then the value of the money will continue to reduce in relative value based on this time value of money concept.

whcih of the following statments about the internal rate of return (IRR) is true? a. it has the most conservative and realisitc
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

c

Explanation:

Internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after-tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested. It is a capital budgeting method.

IRR can give conflicting answers when negative cash flow in mixed with positive cash flows during the life of the project. that is the negative cash flow does not occur at the beginning of the project

IRR considers the time value of money

Consider two sceneries

In the first scenario, 50,000 is invested in a project, the cash flow in year 1 and 2 is 0. the cash flow in year 3 is 150,000. IRR is 44.2%

n the second scenario, 50,000 is invested in a project, the cash flow in year 1 is 50,000. cash flow in year 2 100,000 and 3 is 0 . IRR is 100%

IRR gives higher value to cash flows occurring in earlier years
