A University of Iowa basketball standout is offered a choice of contracts by the New York Liberty.
Ratling [72]

Answer: <em>The lowest interest rate at which the present value of the second contract exceeds that of the first is </em><em>a. 7 percent</em><em>.</em>

Explanation:

<em>Calculating present values is a useful way to compare cases where money is to be received in the future. The higher the present value (when comparing cases where you get money), the better</em>. To calculate it, we make use of the next formula:

PV=\frac{C}{(1+r)^{n}}

Where PV: Present value,

C: Cash flow at a given period,

r: Interest rate, and

n: Number of periods that will have passed (in this case, we are talking about years).

Now, since we are getting money twice in each case (the first payment one year from today, and the final payment two years from today), we can restructure our present value formula to include these two payments. We will get something like this:

PV=\frac{C_1}{1+r}+\frac{C_2}{(1+r)^{2}}

<em>Notice how each fraction represents one of the payments received, with one having an 'n' of 1 year, and the other one having an 'n' of 2 years. C₁ and C₂ represent the first and the second payment, respectively.</em>

<em />

Now that we have our completed formula, let's review each contract's present value (PV) with the lowest interest rate (7%), just to see how it turns out. <em>Remember that 7% equals 0.07 in any formula</em>:

<em>Contract A) This one gives her $100,000 one year from today and $100,000 two years from today</em><em>.</em>

PV_{A,0.07}=\frac{100000}{1+0.07}+\frac{100000}{(1+0.07)^{2}}\\PV_{A,0.07}=93457.944+87343.873\\PV_{A,0.07}=180801.817dollars

So Contract A's present value at 7% interest rate would be equal to <em>$180801.817</em>.

<em>Contract B) The second one gives her $132,000 one year from today and $66,000 two years from today</em><em>.</em>

PV_{B,0.07}=\frac{132000}{1+0.07}+\frac{66000}{(1+0.07)^{2}}\\PV_{B,0.07}=123364.486+57646.956\\PV_{B,0.07}=181011.442dollars

So Contract B's present value at 7% interest rate would be equal to <em>$181011.442, </em><em><u>which exceeds that of Contract A</u></em><em>.</em>

<em>Since among our options of interest rates, 7 percent is the lowest one, and, with this taken into account, the present value of the second contract (Contract B) exceeded that of the first (Contract A), </em><em>the answer is a. 7 percent</em><em>.</em>

Answer 5 SHART Redux Time Reports REQUEST PLUS REQUID TIME REPORTS can be far from this growth list. Have you ever been online and offline? Later below the procedure for reporting such incidents. 1 Answer  Paul Cohn, I made that VC answered on August 4, 2015. Risk capital Working process is very complete and it will be difficult to detect any kind of fraud. VC sometimes helps diligent using an external company. In general, VCs do not adopt private detective, but often use a company that verifies the background verification. Some of the background control companies may exceed recording recording, but can do a private research work as necessary, but it does not happen frequently (it has never disappeared so much disappeared). The records are considering the following: Confirmation of training for education A pre-employment confirmation is to find legal issues that participate in personal credit issues and find false statements of the contractor / administration team. With regard to your education and employment history, it may be possible to see if you have other legal and credit problems, do not disclose. It is very unusual to find a "fraud", but it is possible to make sure that VC asks entrepreneurs questions, and at least the contractor can confirm that all the company's product events fully advertise that you can find it.
