Mrs. Tolstoy and her husband, Serge, are planning their dream house. The lot for the house sits high on a hill with a beautiful

view of the Appalachian Mountains. The plans show the size of the house to be 2,900 square feet. The average price for a lot and house similar to this one has been $120 per square foot. Fortunately, Serge is a retired plumber and feels he can save money by installing the plumbing himself. Mrs. Tolstoy feels she can take care of the interior decorating.Page 153 The following average cost information is available from a local bank that makes loans to local contractors and dispenses progress payments to contractors when specific tasks are verified as complete. 24% Excavation and framing complete 8% Roof and fireplace complete 3% Wiring roughed in 6% Plumbing roughed in 5% Siding on 17% Windows, insulation, walks, plaster, and garage complete 9% Furnace installed 4% Plumbing fixtures installed 10% Exterior paint, light fixtures installed, finish hardware installed 6% Carpet and trim installed 4% Interior decorating 4% Floors laid and finished What is the estimated cost for the Tolstoys’ house if they use contractors to complete all of the house?

Answer:

$299,280

Explanation:

If the Tolstoys purchased the house they would pay on average $120 per sq ft x 2,900 sq ft = $348,000

If Mr. installs the plumbing and Mrs. Tolstoy decorates the house, they can save 10% (plumbing and installing plumbing fixtures) and 4% (interior decorating) = 14% of the cost

So the Tolstoys can save = $348,000 x 14% = $48,720

the cost of the house = $348,000 - $48,720 = $299,280

Many financial decisions require the analysis of uneven,or nonconstant: cash flows stock dividends typically increase over time
pshichka [43]

Answer:

       

           \large\boxed{\large\boxed{\$ 1,328.63}}

Explanation:

Since the four<em>-cash-flow stream</em> is <em>uneven</em>, the manual calculation involves the calculation of four separate present values which you have to add.

The <em>cash flows </em>are:

  • Year 1: 700
  • Year 2: 355
  • Year 3: 240
  • Year 4: 320

The required rate of return is r = 10% = 0.10

The formula that you must use is:

               PV=\frac{CF_1}{(1+i)^1}+\frac{CF_2}{(1+i)^2}+\frac{CF_3}{(1+i)^3}+\frac{CF_4}{(1+i)^4}

Where <em>PV </em>is the <em>present value</em>; CF₁, CF₂, CF₃, CF₄ are the cash flows of the years 1, 2, 3, and 4 respectively, and i is the annual return.

Substituting:

             PV=\frac{700}{(1+0.10)^1} +\frac{355}{(1+0.10)^2} +\frac{240}{(1+0.10)^3} +\frac{320}{(1+0.10)^4}

             PV=\$ 636.36+\$ 293.39+\$ 180.31+\$ 218.56=\$ 1,328.63

Arrow Printers paid $2,000 interest on short-term notes payable, $10,000 interest on long-term bonds, and $6,000 in dividends on
Andrej [43]

Answer:

C) Operating, $12,000; financing $6,000.

Explanation:

Interests expenses do no change the notes payable or bond, but results in the reduction of the cash flow of a company. Therefore, the interests paid on both short terms notes payable and interest on long-term bonds will appear under the operating activities section of the cash flow statement.

Dividend appears under the financing activities section of the cash flow statement.

For this question, we therefore have:

Cash outflows from operating activities = Interest on short-term notes payable + Interest on long-term bonds = $2,000 + $10,000 = $12,000

Cash outflows from financing activities = Dividends on common stock = $6,000

Therefore, the correct option is C) Operating, $12,000; financing $6,000.
