Consider a one-year project that costs $126,000, provides an income of $70,000 a year for 5 years, and costs $225,000 to dispose

of at the very end of the fifth year. Assume that the first payment comes at the start of the year after the project is undertaken. Should the project be undertaken at a 0% discount rate? How about 2%? 5%? 10%? (HINT: To answers these questions use the present discounted value)

Answer:

Present Value (PV) of cash flows are as follows.

(i) Discount rate = 0%

\mathrm{PV}(\mathrm{S})=-126,000+70,000 \mathrm{x} \mathrm{P} / \mathrm{A}(0 \%, 5)-225,000 \mathrm{x} \mathrm{P} / \mathrm{F}(0 \%, 5)=-126,000+70,000 \times 5-225,000

= - 1

Since PV < 0, the project should not be undertaken.

(ii) Discount rate = 2%

\mathrm{PV}(\mathrm{S})=-126,000+70,000 \mathrm{x} \mathrm{P} / \mathrm{A}(2 \%, 5)-225,000 \mathrm{x} \mathrm{P} / \mathrm{F}(2 \%, 5)

|=-126,000+70,000 \times 4.7135-225,000 \times 0.9057

= 156

Since PV > 0, the project should be undertaken.

(iii) Discount rate = 5%

\mathrm{PV}(\mathrm{S})=-126,000+70,000 \mathrm{x} \mathrm{P} / \mathrm{A}(5 \%, 5)-225,000 \mathrm{x} \mathrm{P} / \mathrm{F}(5 \%, 5)

=-126,000+70,000 \times 4.3295-225,000 \times 0.7835

= 772

Since PV > 0, the project should be undertaken.

(ii) Discount rate = 10%

\mathrm{PV}(\mathrm{S})=-126,000+70,000 \mathrm{x} \mathrm{P} / \mathrm{A}(10 \%, 5)-225,000 \mathrm{x} \mathrm{P} / \mathrm{F}(10 \%, 5)

=-126,000+70,000 \times 3.7908-225,000 \times 0.6209=-126,000+265,356-139,707

= - 351

Since PV < 0, the project should not be undertaken.

Murrr4er [49]

Answer: Highest income=The units of Production method of depreciation with $3,412,500

Lowest income=double declining depreciation method with $18,000,000

Explanation:

a) Using Straight line depreciation method

(Cost of value - Salvage value)/ Useful life =(45,000,000 -6,000,000)/5 =$7,800,000

b)Using  Units-of-production depreciation method

Depreciation Expense = (Cost – Salvage value) x (Number of units produced / Life in number of units)

=45,000,000 -6,000,000) x (350,000/4,000,000)= $3,412,500

b)Using Double-declining-balance  depreciation method

Depreciation Expense = Beginning book value x Rate of depreciation

Rate of depreciation = 100% / useful life x 2= 100/5 x2 = 40 %

Depreciation expense = 40 % x $45,000,000 =$18,000,000

or you use this method directly= 45,000,000/5 x 2= $18,000,000

Now the highest income will come from the depreciation with least expense and from our calculation,  the depreciation method with the least expense is from The units of Production method with $3,412,500

In the same vein, the lowest income will come from the most depreciation expense, therefore the most depreciation expense is from the double declining method with $18,000,000

Rank the following types of businesses in order of risk to you, with the highest being number 1: partnership, limited partnershi
kompoz [17]

Answer:

  1. Sole Proprietorship
  2. Partnership
  3. Limited Partnership
  4. Limited Liability Company      

Explanation:

Sole Proprietorship is the type of business in which the liability is not limited. Due to this issue, the owner is solely responsible to pay off the debts of company from his personal owned assets if the business goes bankrupt.

Partnership is just like sole proprietorship but here the partners are the only responsible persons to payoff the debt of the company because the liability is limitless. The burden of the company debts is equally shared among the partners.

Limited Partnership is less risky because the liability is limited and only the amount invested in the business is subjected to the payment of borrowings from the lenders. The limited partner is responsible for his actions which means if his misdeed resulted in fine then it would be paid from his share first and then the other partners are equally liable to for compensation if their is still any amount left.

In the case of Limited liability company, the liability is limited and the burden of the payment of the liability falls on the company. So the investor is not subjected to pay the debts of the company because the limited liability company is a separate entity and is solely liable to pay for its debts.

dybincka [34]

Answer:

Bond Price  = $951.9633746 rounded off to $951.96

Explanation:

To calculate the quote/price of the bond today, which is the present value of the bond, we will use the formula for the price of the bond. As the bond is an annual bond, we will use the annual coupon payment,  annual number of periods and annual YTM. The formula to calculate the price of the bonds today is attached.  

Coupon Payment (C) = 1000 * 10% = $100

Total periods remaining (n) = 3

r or YTM = 12%  

 Bond Price = 100 * [( 1 - (1+0.12)^-3) / 0.12]  + 1000 / (1+0.12)^3

Bond Price  = $951.9633746 rounded off to $951.96
