The Horizon Company will invest $60,000 in a temporary project that will generate the following cash inflows for the next three
Sholpan [36]

Answer:

$ -3,163.04

No

Explanation:

The net present value is the present value of after tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested.

The NPV can be found using a financial calculator:

Cash flow in year 0 = -$60,000

Cash flow in year 1- $ 15,000

Cash flow in year 2- $25,000

Cash flow in year  3- $40,000 - $10,000 = $30,000

I = 10%

NPV = $-3,163.04

The project should not be embarked upon because the cost of the project is greater than the present value of the after tax cash flows. The NPV is negative.

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.

g You will be receiving cash flows of: $2,000 today, $3,000 at end of year 1, $5,000 at end of year 3, and $7,000 at end of year
enot [183]

Answer:

The present value of the cashflows will be $12830.30

Explanation:

The present value of the cashflows can be calculated by dividing the cash flows by the appropriate discount rate and for the appropriate time period.

The present value of the given cash flows will be,

Present Value = CF1 / (1+r) + CF2 / (1+r)^2 + .... + CFn / (1+r)^n

As the first payment is received today, it will already be in the present value so it will not be discounted.

Present value = 2000 + 3000 /  (1+0.1) + 5000 / (1+0.1)^3 + 7000 / (1+0.1)^5

Present value = $12830.295 rounded off to $12830.30

Equipment was purchased for $68,000 on January 1, 2013. Freight charges amounted to $2,800 and there was a cost of $8,000 for bu
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

a. $26,720

Explanation:

Before computing the accumulated depreciation, first we have to compute the original cost of the equipment, after that the depreciation expense. The calculation is shown below:

Original cos t = Equipment purchase cost + freight charges + installment charges

= $68,000 + $2,800 + $8,000

= $78,800

Now the depreciation expense under the straight-line method is shown below:

= (Original cost - residual value) ÷ estimated life in years

= ($78,800 - $12,000) ÷ 5 years

= $13,360

Now the accumulated depreciation is

= Depreciation expense × number of years

= $13,360 × 2 years

= $26,720
