Answer: a. $120,000
b. $6,000
c. Yes
Explanation:
a. It is said that the collection centres would help reduce the collection time by 2 days and that every day $60,000 comes in.
If the proposal will reduce the amount of time taken to collect by 2 days then that means that the amount freed up is the amount that they would have collected in two days had it not been for the system.
That amount would be,
= $60,000 * 2
= $120,000
b. If they used this free up cash to pay off a debt that was accumulating 5% per year then the 5% will be saved.
The amount saved therefore is,
= 120,000 * 5%
= $6,000
By retiring a $120,000 that was accruing $6,000 a year, the proposal has enabled that $6,000 to be saved instead.
c. The cost of implementing this proposal is $5,200 per year and yet the savings it gives in interest is $6,000.
As the savings are higher than the cost, the number definitely suggest that the project should be implemented because it is more beneficial than it costs.
Answer: $11583
Explanation:
The amount that Harper Co. should report the equipment on its balance sheet dated December 31, year 8 will be calculated thus:
= Amount of annual instalment × PV of ordinary annuity of $1 at 5% for 10 periods
= (15000/10) × 7.72173
= 1500 × 7.72173
= 11582.595
= 11583
Therefore, the amount will be $11583
Answer:
The After Tax Cost of Debt = 0.072 or 7.2%
Explanation:
The question is to determine the After Tax Cost of Debt for Rolling Stone.
This is carried out as follows
Step 1: When we decide to calculate the Yield to Maturity, it should be noted that Market Value = Par Value
Therefore,
Coupon Rate which is the same as the Yield to Maturity (YTM) = 12%
Step 2: Based on this derivative, therefore,
After Tax Cost of Debt = Yield TO Maturity Rate (1-Marginal Tax Rate)
= 12% (1-40%)
= 0.12 (1-0.4)
The After Tax Cost of Debt = 0.072 or 7.2%
Answer:
Year 1 = $1,100
Year 2 = $1,330
Year 3 = $1,550
Year 4 = $2,290
(a) If the discount rate is 6 percent, then the future value of these cash flows in Year 4:
To solve this problem, we must find the FV of each cash flow and add them. To find the FV of a lump sum, we use:
= $6737.51
(b) If the discount rate is 14 percent, then the future value of these cash flows in Year 4:
= $7415.17
(c) If the discount rate is 21 percent, then the future value of these cash flows in Year 4:
= $8061.47
