<span>The business cycle is the periodic but irregular up-and-down movement in economic activity, measured by fluctuations in real gross domestic product (GDP) and other macroeconomic variables. A business cycle is typically characterized by four phases—recession, recovery, growth, and decline—that repeat themselves over time. Economists note, however, that complete business cycles vary in length. The duration of business cycles can be anywhere from about two to twelve years, with most cycles averaging six years in length. Some business analysts use the business cycle model and terminology to study and explain fluctuations in business inventory and other individual elements of corporate operations. But the term "business cycle" is still primarily associated with larger (industry-wide, regional, national, or even international) business trends.</span>

Nissan’s all-electric car, the Leaf, has a base price of $32,780 in the United States, but it is eligible for a $7500 federal ta

katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

Nissan's all-electric car, the Leaf

PV cost of Leaf Purchase = $16,529

PV cost of Leasing = $12,944.78

The company should lease the car.

Explanation:

a) Costs incurred to purchase the Leaf:

Base price $32,780

less Federal tax credit ($7,500)

Charging station 2,200

less 50% tax credit (1,100)

Cash paid $26,380

Sales value after 3 yrs (9,851) ( $26,380 - 40% of base discounted to PV)

Net PV Investment $16,529

b) Calculation of Discounted Present Values of Payments under Leasing, using online financial calculator:

PV (Present Value) $12,944.78

N (Number of Periods) 3.000

I/Y (Interest Rate) 10.000%

PMT (Periodic Payment) $4,200.00

Starting Investment $2,500.00

Total Principal $15,100.00

Total Interest $2,129.50

c) The purchase of the Leaf would involve a present value cost of $26,380 after deducting all the savings from tax. The 40% sales value of the car at the end of 3 years = $13,112 ($32,780 x 40%). When this sales value is discounted to PV of $9,851, the PV of the car investments becomes $16,529 ($26,380 - $9,851). On the other hand, leasing will cost in PV the sum of $12,944.78

Coache Corporation is considering a capital budgeting project that would require an investment of $120,000 in equipment with a 4

Kaylis [27]

Answer:

a. $44,000

Explanation:

The computation of the total cash flow net of income taxes in year 3 is shown below:

= Incremental sales - annual incremental cash operating expenses - one-time renovation expense - depreciation expense - income tax expense + depreciation expense

= $310,000 - $230,000 - $30,000 - $30,000 - $6,000 + $30,000

= $44,000

Since depreciation is a non-cash expense so it would be added back to the computation part

The depreciation expense would be

= (Original cost - residual value) ÷ (useful life)

= ($120,000 - $0) ÷ (4 years)

= ($120,000) ÷ (4 years)

= $30,000

And, the income tax expense would be

= (Incremental sales - annual incremental cash operating expenses - one-time renovation expense - depreciation expense) × tax rate

= ($310,000 - $230,000 - $30,000 - $30,000) × 30%

= $20,000 × 30%

= $6,000
