Precision Dyes is analyzing two machines to determine which one it should purchase. The company requires a rate of return of 15

percent and uses straight-line depreciation to a zero book value over the life of its equipment. Ignore bonus depreciation. Machine A has a cost of $462,000, annual aftertax cash outflows of $46,200, and a four-year life. Machine B costs $898,000, has annual aftertax cash outflows of $16,500, and has a seven-year life. Whichever machine is purchased will be replaced at the end of its useful life. Which machine should the company purchase and how much less is that machine's EAC as compared to the other machine's? B; $23,156.82 A; $17,404.04 A; $24,321.02 B; $17,521.94 B; $16,791.08

Answer:

$24,321.02

Explanation:

For computing the EAC first we have to determine the net present value for both machines which are shown below:            

For Machine A

Net present value = Annual cash outflows × PVIFA factor for 15% at four years - initial cost

= -$46,200 × 2.8550 - $462,000

= -$131,901 - $462,000

= -$593,901

Now the EAC is

= -$593,901 ÷ 2.8550

= -$208,021.37

For Machine B

Net present value = Annual cash outflows × PVIFA factor for 15% at seven years - initial cost

= -$16,500 × 4.1604  - $898,000

= -$68,646.60 - $898,000

= -$966,646.60

Now the EAC is

= $966,646.60 ÷ 4.1604

= -$232,344.63

The different amount in EAC is

= $24,323.26

nordsb [41]

Answer:

the real rate of interest of  6.39 %

Explanation:

given,

rate of return on your bond  = 11.29 %

the inflation rate  = 4.6 %

real rate of return = ?

rate of return = (\dfrac{1+ return\ rate}{1 + inflation }-1)\times 100

rate of return = (\dfrac{1+ 0.1129 }{1 + 0.046 }-1)\times 100

rate of return = (\dfrac{1+ 0.1129 }{1 + 0.046 }-1)\times 100

rate of return = (\dfrac{1.1129}{1.046 }-1)\times 100

                    = 6.39 %

the real rate of interest of  6.39 %

An investor pays $900 for a bond with a principal value of $1,000 and a coupon rate of 8%. How much in annual interest will the
solmaris [256]

Answer:

Annual Interest = $80

Interest rate = 8.89%

Explanation:

The investor pays discounted price for this bond.

We know, Annual Interest = Coupon payment/Market value

Given,

Coupon payment = Principal value*Coupon rate

Coupon payment = $1,000*8% = $80

Market value = Price pays for the bond = $900

Therefore, the annual interest rate = $80/$900

Annual Interest rate = 8.89%

Note that, coupon payment is the annual interest rate.

faust18 [17]

Answer:

Bail

Explanation:

Bail is just a measure of cash that is saved with the court to guarantee that you appear for all court procedures. You can post your bail in real money with the court, and you will at that point be discharged from authority.  

In the event that the litigant needs more money to post the whole bail, the court will acknowledge a bail security.  

The reason for bail is to guarantee that a respondent returns for future court appearances.

You want to determine whether there is a lemons problem in the market for​ single-engine airplanes. Can you use any of the follo
Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

C. Yes. If repair rates are higher for planes that have been​ resold, this would be an indication of a lemons problem

Explanation:

Lemons problem is an issue of quality of product, asset, investment : due to asymetric information about the respective quality.

Asymetric Information is when one one party in transaction has more knowledge about the quality of product or asset, than the other party.

Second hand goods are an illustration of this case, as seller has more information about the real quality of good or asset than buyer.

Lemon's problem in single engines airplanes : can be analysed by concept of second hand goods 'asymetric information, lemons problem' it. If the 2nd hand resold planes require higher repairs, it indicates that the buyer had asymetric information about bad quality of planes ( the information which seller had), but realisation of bad quality later implies higher repairs.
