Answer:
$427,011.92
Explanation:
We use the present value formula i.e to be shown in the attached spreadsheet
Given that,
Future value = $0
Rate of interest = 7.5%
NPER = 15 years
PMT = $45,000
The formula is shown below:
= -PV(Rate;NPER;PMT;FV;type)
And, in type we write the 1 instead of 0
So, after solving this, the present value is $427,011.92
Answer:
$137,200; $103,600
Explanation:
In 2015:
Free cash flow:
= Net cash flow from operating activity - Capital expenditure
= $294,000 - (70% × $224,000)
= $294,000 - $156,800
= $137,200
In 2016:
Free cash flow:
= Net cash flow from operating activity - Capital expenditure
= $280,000 - (70% × $252,000)
= $280,000 - $176,400
= $103,600
