Pollution control equipment for a pulverized coal cyclone furnace is expected to cost $190,000 two years from now and another $1

alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

$212,882.75

Explanation:

Cost from 2 years now = $190,000

Cost from 9 years now = $120,000

Interest rate = 9% Quarterly

Present Worth = Cost from 2 years now*[1/(1+interest/m)^nm] * Cost from 2 years now*[1/(1+interest/m)^nm]

Present Worth = 190,000*[1/(1+0.09/4)^2*4] + 120,000*[1/(1+0.09/4)^9*4]

Present Worth = 190,000*[1/(1.0225)^8] + 120,000*[1/(1.0225)^36]

Present Worth = 190,000*[1/1.19483] + 120,000*[1/2.22782]

Present Worth = 190,000*0.83693915 + 120,000*0.4488693

Present Worth = 159018.4385 + 53864.316

Present Worth = 212882.7545

Present Worth = $212,882.75

Thus, the amount to invest to cover these cost is $212,882.75

DedPeter [7]

Answer:

The total non controlling interest after the additional shares are issued is equal to $252,000.

Explanation:

Before the issue Sage co's had 20,000 shares with total equity value of $500,000. After the issue of 5000 shares worth $200,000, the total number of shares and equity would be -

Total number of shares = 25,000 ( 20,0000 + 5000 )

Total equity value = $700,000

Now Thyme inc owns 16,000 number of shares , which means that minority holds 9000 number of shares . Now the price per share would be =

TOTAL EQUITY / NUMBER OF SHARES

$700,000 / 25,000

= $28

NON CONTROLLING INTEREST = Minority shares x Price per shares

= 9000 x $28

= $252,000
