Answer:

yes, because the IRR is 12.74 percent

Explanation:

given data

present value =  $1.46 million

first year cash inflows c1 =  $223,000

next three years cash inflows c2,c3,c4 = $600,000

rate of return minimum = 12 %

to find out

firm purchase this particular machine based on its IRR

solution

we consider here IRR is = r

we apply here present value formula that is express as

present value = \frac{c1}{(1+r)} +\frac{c2}{(1+r)^2} +\frac{c3}{(1+r)^3} +\frac{c4}{(1+r)^4}  .......1

put here value  

$1.46 million = \frac{223000}{(1+r)} +\frac{600000}{(1+r)^2} +\frac{600000}{(1+r)^3} +\frac{600000}{(1+r)^4}    

solve it we get

r = 12.74%

so here IRR = 12.74% is higher than the rate of return minimum = 12%

so it will create a positive net present value of cash inflows

and project will accepted and firm purchase the machine

so we can say yes, because the IRR is 12.74 percent

When the bonds will mature, the company will receive, maturity value plus the interest earned on the bonds.

The maturity value will be the par value, as nothing is given, the bonds are redeemed at par value i.e. $ 46,000.

The interest income will be calculated as -

Interest Income = 7 % * $ 46,000 = $ 3,220

Thus, the total cash proceeds = $ 46,000 + $ 3,220 = $ 49,220

Use the following balance sheet data for the First National Bank to answer the next question. Assets Liabilities Net Worth Reser
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

Reserves & Checkable deposits will equal to $36,000 and $106,000

Explanation:

The amount of checkable deposits is given $120,000 on the liabilities side. So, the withdrawal and clearance of check worth $14,000 will lead to a decline in the number of checkable deposits by $14,000. As a result, the remaining amount of checkable deposits will equal to $106,000 ($120,000 - $14,000).

To maintain the balance on asset & liabilities side of the balance sheet, the asset side will also reduce by $14,000. $14,000 will be deducted from the reserves of the bank. As a result, the remaining amount of reserves is equal to $36,000 ($50,000 - $14,000).
