None of the projects should be accepted because they have negative NPV

Explanation:

The question requires the computation of NPV using 0% and 9%.

The cashflows of the two projects will be discounted at 0% and 9%.

The discount factors for each project can be calculated using the formula (1+r)-n. The cashflows of the projects will be multiplied by the discount factors to obtain the present values. NPV is the difference between present values of cash inflows and initial outlay.

Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

$20,000 premium is amortized at the end of the first year.

Explanation:

Straight line amortization:

premium amortized = Premium / number of years

                                 = ($5,200,000 - $5,000,000) / 10 years

                                 = $200,000 premium / 10 years

                                 = $20,000

Therefore, $20,000 premium is amortized at the end of the first year.

Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

The answer is option (c)$89,301

Explanation:

Solution

Given that:

Inflation rate = 2%

The expected value of an investment = 82,500

Now,

nominal terminal value of the investment at the end of year 4.

Thus,

The nominal terminal value rate at the end of year four is given as follows:

= 82, 500 * (1 +2%) ^4

=$89300. 65

= $89,301

Which statement describes the effect of taxes on a traditional 401(k) retirement account?
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

A traditional 401(k) is tax deferred because the income earned isn't taxed until the money is withdrawn.

Explanation:

A 401 k is a qualified tax-advantaged saving retirement plan. Usually, 401K  plans are employer-sponsored. Employee contributions to the 401 k plans are deducted from the payroll before taxes are calculated. It means the employee contribution is not taxed at the time it's withheld by the employer.

The amounts saved are invested in market securities such as shares and bonds. The tax due from earning from the investment is deferred to the time of withdrawal. The employee is not required to pay taxes on contributions and investments earning every financial year.
