Answer:
A. 3.8 YEARS
B YES
C $325.91
Explanation:
Payback period is the amount of time it takes to recover the amount invested in a project from its cumulative cash flows.
payback period = amount invested / cash flows
$1,900 / $500 = 3.8 years
the project should be accepted because the payback period is less than the maximum acceptable year
Net present value is the present value of after tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.
NPV can be calculated using a financial calculator
cash flow in year 0 = $-1900
cash flow each year from year 1 to 5 = $500
I = 4%
NPV = $325.91
To find the NPV using a financial calculator:
1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
2. after inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
3. Press compute
Answer:
c. difference between total variable costs and total costs at a particular activity level
Explanation:
The high low method consists of calculating costs on the basis of highest & lowest activity & comparing their corresponding total costs.
Variable cost per unit is found by : change in cost divided by the change in activity level for two points
Variable Cost per unit = <u>Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost </u>
Highest activity units - lowest activity units
Fixed Cost is thereafter calculated by subtracting Total Variable Costs from Total Cost
Fixed Cost = Highest Activity Total Cost - [ (Variable cost per unit) x (highest activity units)
Fixed Cost = Lowest Activity Cost - [ (Variable cost per unit) x (lowest activity units)]
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Susan:
Annual deposit= $5,000 for 10 years
Lumo-sum for 30 years
Interest rate= 8.5%
Jane:
Annual deposit= $5,000 for 30 years.
<u>First, we will calculate the future value of Susan:</u>
<u></u>
First 10 years:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= annual deposit
FV= {5,000*[(1.085^10)-1]}/0.085
FV= $74,175.50
Last 30 years:
FV= PV*(1+i)^n
FV= 74,175.50*(1.085^30)
FV= $857,050.14
<u>Jane:</u>
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= annual deposit
FV= {5,000*[(1.085^30)-1]}/0.085
FV= $621,073.63
<u>Earnings difference= 857,050.14 - 621,073.63= $235,976.51 in favor of Susan.</u>
