You bought one of Lambert Sandblasting Company's 15-year bonds one year ago for $960. These bonds pay 7 percent annually, have a

face value of $1,000, and mature 14 years from now. Suppose you decide to sell your bond today when the required return on the bonds is 8 percent. The inflation rate over the past year was 2.7 percent. What was your total real return on this investment?

Answer:

Real return on investment: 22.9465%

Explanation:

Okay let's explain each concept we have given:

<em>Face Value</em>                                         $1,000

This is the ammount Lambert will pay at maturity

Purchase Value                                   $  960

This is the Ammount we pay for the bond

<em>Market Value of the bond today         $   ???</em>

This is what we need to determinate to see the return we got

Once we got the market Value we will do:

Market Value / Purchase Value   - 1 = rate of return

Now the <em>market value today will be the present value of the bond,</em> and the bond has the following data:

  • Mature in 14 year
  • bond rate 7% annualy.

So each year we receive the 7% of the face value ($1,000) = $70

And at the end of the bond life we receive 1,000

We need to bring this numbers at present day using the real market rate, because the economy is having inflation:

market rate  8%

inflation rate 2.7%

real rate:  

(1+rate)/(1+inflation) -1 = real rate

\frac{1.08}{1.027} -1 = real rate

real rate = 5.16%

To know the present value of the bond we will have to consider:

  • present value of an annuity of 70$ during 14 year at a rate of 5.16% =
  • present value of the 1,000 that will be pay at maturity at a rate of 5.16%

<em>The annuity will be </em>

70 * \frac{1-(1+0.0516)^-14}{0.0516} = 685.87

C * \frac{1-(1+rate)^-time}{rate} = present value

$685,87

<em>The present value of the 1,000 will be</em>  

face value/(1+rate)^time

1,000/(1+0.0516)^14 = $494,42

for a total of $1.180,29

Now we will calculate the real return on the investment:

we receive 1.180,29 for 960 so the rate is

1.180,29 /960 - 1 = 0.229465 =  22.9465%

Zolol [24]
<span>Answer D, determining savings or debt, is correct. The first step is identifying and writing down your financial goal(s). The second one is to start writing down every single one of your transactions, this is the most important because it shows you your spending habits. The third step is to create the actual budget. Set aside a certain amount of money for each bill/necessity. The last step is to determine what your savings are.</span>

We are evaluating a project that costs $1.68 million, has a six-year life, and has no salvage value. Assume that depreciation is
zvonat [6]

Answer:

                              Best-Case        Worst-Case

                                  NPV                     NPV

PV of cash inflows $2,897,706      $3,187,477

PV of project cost  $1,680,000     $1,848,000 ($1,680,000 * 1.1)

NPV                         $1,217,706    $1,339,477

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Initial project cost = $1.68 million

Project's estimated life = 6 years

Salvage value = $0

Depreciation expense = $280,000 ($1.68 million/6)

Income Statement:

Sales revenue (90,000 * $37.95) = $3,415,500

Cost of goods sold:

Variable cost (90,000 * $23.20) =    2,088,000

Gross profit =                                    $1,327,500

Fixed costs =                                         815,000

Income before tax =                           $512,500

Income tax (21% of $512,500) =          107,625

Net income =                                     $404,875

Add depreciation expense                280,000

Annual cash inflows =                      $684,875

PV annuity factor for 6 years at 11% = 4.231

PV of annual cash inflows of $684,875= $2,897,706 ($684,875 * 4.231)

Annual cash inflows = $753,363 ($684,875 * 1.1)

PV of annual cash inflows of $753,363 = $3,187,477 ($753,363 * 4.231)

Sunland Company purchased machinery on January 2, 2015, for $900000. The straight-line method is used and useful life is estimat
victus00 [196]

Answer: $63,625

Explanation:

First calculate the new Accumulated Depreciation.

Because there was an overhaul, this overhaul Reduces the depreciation of the machinery by the amount spent on the Overhaul.

Depreciation per year using Straight line is ignoring the old salavage value,

= 900,000 / 10

= $90,000

2015 to 2021 has been 6 years so,

= 90,000 * 6

= $540,000

The overhauling reduces the Accumulated Depreciation balance by it's amount so,

= 540,000 - 193,000

= $347,000

$347,000 is the new Accumulated Depreciation.

The book value of the machinery is therefore,

= 900,000 - 347,000

= $553,000

The calculate the new depreciation expense,

= 553,000 - 44,000 (new salvage balance)

= $509,000/ 8 years ( 4 years added by overhaul and 4 years remaining from original period)

= $63,625 per year
