After a retiring from a successful business​ career, you would like to make a donation to your university. This donation will go

into the​ school’s endowment pool and the returns generated from the donation will support the salary of a new professor in the business school on a perpetual basis. The university expects to earn returns of​ 5.5% on its endowment pool. You may assume that any distributions to support the salary will be made annually.
Part A) You can make a donation today (t=0) in the amount of $2,500,000. The first cash flow distribution from your donation to cover the professor's salary will take place in one year (at t=1). Which of the following is closest to the annual salary payment that can be made as a result of your donation?

A. $2,500,000
B. $454,545
C. $100,000
D. $137,500

Part B) After further discussions, the university determines that the employment agreement with the new professor will call for annual salary increases of 2%. Given this new requirement, and assuming the first salary distribution will still occur one year from today, what is the starting salary (at t=1) that can be supported with your $2,500,000 donation?

A. $50,000
B. $187,500
C. $140,250
D. $87,500

Answer:

Part A) D. $137,500

Part B) C. $140,250

Explanation:

Part A) The computation of annual salary payment is shown below:-

Annual salary = Donation made × Interest rate

= $2,500,000 × 5.5%

= $137,500

So, for computing the annual salary we simply multiply the donation made with interest rate.

Part B) The computation of starting salary is shown below:-

Starting salary = Annual salary + Increased annual salary

= $137,500 + 2%

= $140,250

Therefore for computing the starting salary we simply added the annual salary with increased annual salary.

Which statement is true? Portfolio A dominates portfolio B if: Portfolio A has a higher return that portfolio B Portfolio A has
ra1l [238]

Answer:

The answer is "The last choice"

Explanation:

While comparing 2 assets or portfolio management, the risk of each portfolio and the rates of return of each portfolio should be taken into consideration. Whether the same danger is in the two assets. One should be preferred with both the higher return and one from the lowest risk should be recommended unless the two have the same rate of return. Portfolio A consequently either has a higher return and an at least as low fluctuation as B, or even lower volatility as well as an anticipated return at least as strong as B.

A process control system costs $200,000, has a three year service life, and a salvage value of $20,000. Find the depreciation an
Advocard [28]

Answer:

A.

Depreciation expense each of the three years would be $60,000

Book value at the end of year 1 = $140,000

Book value at the end of year 2 =$80,000

Book value at the end of year 3 =  $20,000

B.

Depreciation expense in year 1 =$90,000

Depreciation expense in year 2 =$60,000

Depreciation expense in year 3 =$30,000

Book value at the end of year 1 =$110,000

Book value at the end of year 2 = $50,000

Book value at the end of year 3 =  $20,000

C.

Depreciation expense in year 1 = $133,333.33

Book value at the end of year 1 = $66,666.67

Depreciation expense in year 2 =  $44,444.45

Book value at the end of year 2 = $22,222.22

Depreciation expense in year 3 = $14,814.16

Book value at the end of year 3 = $7,407.40

Explanation:

Straight line depreciation expense = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life

($200,000 - $20,000) / 3 = $60,000

Depreciation expense each of the three years would be $60,000

Book value at the end of year 1 = $200,000 - $60,000 = $140,000

Book value at the end of year 2 =  $140,000 - $60,000 = $80,000

Book value at the end of year 3 = $80,000 - $60,000 = $20,000

Sum-of-the-year digits = (remaining useful life / sum of the years ) x  (Cost of asset - Salvage value)

Sum of the years = 1 + 2 + 3 = 6 years

Depreciation expense in year 1 = (3/6) x ($200,000 - $20,000) = $90,000

Depreciation expense in year 2 = (2/6) x ($200,000 - $20,000) = $60,000

Depreciation expense in year 3 = (1/6) x ($200,000 - $20,000) = $30,000

Book value at the end of year 1 = $200,000 - $90,000 = $110,000

Book value at the end of year 2 = $110,000 - $60,000 = $50,000

Book value at the end of year 3 = $50,000 - $30,000 = $20,000

Depreciation expense using the double declining method = Depreciation factor x cost of the asset

Depreciation factor = 2 x (1/useful life) = 2/3

Depreciation expense in year 1 = (2/3) x $200,000 = $133,333.33

Book value at the end of year 1 = $200,000 - $133,333.33 = $66,666.67

Depreciation expense in year 2 = (2/3) x $66,666.67 = $44,444.45

Book value at the end of year 2 = $66,666.67 - $44,444.45= $22,222.22

Depreciation expense in year 3 = (2/3) x$22,222.22 = $14,814.16

Book value at the end of year 3 =$22,222.22 - $14,814.16 = $7,407.40
