Now, change in money supply = money multiplier * open market purchase of government bonds.

Here , the Federal Reserve a $30 million open market purchase Of govemment bonds.

As a result of this;

Money Supply increases by (6.7 * $30 million) = $200 million.

= ($232,950).

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Cost of new equipment and timbers = $500,000

Working capital required = $100,000

Annual net cash receipts = $120,000

Cost to construct new roads in three years = $40,000

Salvage value of equipment in four years = $65,000

Estimated useful life of mine = 4 years

Working capital released in four years = $100,000

Required rate of return = 20%

Cash Flows PV factor Present Value

Cost of new equipment and timbers $500,000 1 -$500,000

Working capital required 100,000 1 -100,000

Annual net cash receipts 120,000 2.589 310,680

Cost to construct new roads in 3 years 40,000 0.579 -23,160

Salvage value of equipment in 4 years 65,000 0.482 31,330

kow [346]

Answer:

Present value (PV) = $3,000

Interest rate (r) = 6% = 0.06

Number of years (n) = 2 years

Future value (FV) = ?

FV = PV(1 + r)n

FV = $3,000(1 + 0.06)2

FV = $3,000(1.06)2

FV= $3,000 x 1.1236

FV = $3.370.80

Explanation:

In this case, there is need to compound the present value for 2 years at 6% interest per annum. The formula to be applied is the formula for future value of a lump sum (single investment).
