Answer:

D) Tanner should be indifferent between the two investments, since both are equivalent to the same amount of cash today.

Explanation:

Here are the options to this question:

A) $531.40 later today, since $1 today is worth more than $1 in one year.

B) $550 in one year, since it is $50 more than he invested rather than $31.40 more than he invested.

C) Neither - both investments have a negative NPV.

D) Tanner should be indifferent between the two investments, since both are equivalent to the same amount of cash today.

Net present value is the present value of after tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.

NPV can be calculated using a financial calculator:

For the first option:

Cash flow in year 0 = $500

Cash flow in year 1 = $550

I = ​ 3.5%

NPV = $31.40

For the second option:

NPV = $631.40 - $600 = $31.40

The npv of both options are equal and postive. So, Tanner should be indifferent between the options.

To find the NPV using a financial calacutor:

1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

2. After inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

3. Press compute

Why is active voice generally preferable for business messages?
hram777 [196]
<span>Active voice gives the idea that actions are being undertaken and that things will be able to be completed. The passive voice gives the appearance that the tasks are not of high importance and that they'll only be completed if the time allows or if the person is interested in completing them. Active voice allows for the belief that the task is important and the result will be high-priority to the listener(s).</span>

The same amount of principal is invested in different accounts earning the same interest rate. Which of the following accounts w
Sophie [7]
D.) An account earning interest compounded daily.

This is the account that would have the greatest accumulated value at the end of one year.

Let us assume the following figures.
Principal = 1,000
Interest rate = 12% p.a.
Term 1 year 

a) account earning no interest = 1,000
b) account earning simple interest
S.I. = 1,000 x 12% x 1 = 120 
Balance = 1000 + 120= 1,120
c) account earning interest compounded annually
FV = 1,000 (1+.12)¹
FV = 1,000 (1.12)
FV = 1,120
d) account compounded daily
FV = 1,000 (1 + .12/365)³⁶⁵
FV = 1,000 (1 + 0.00033)³⁶⁵
FV = 1,000 (1.00033)³⁶⁵
FV = 1,000 (1.128)
FV = 1,128
