djyliett [7]

Answer:

$1,103,000

Explanation:

The cash flow statement categories the company's transactions in a financial period into 3 groups; these are operating, investing and financing.

The net profit/loss, depreciation, changes in current assets (other than cash) and liabilities are considered as operating activities including income taxes.

The sale of assets, interest received, purchase of investments are examples of investing activities while the issuance of stocks, debt principal deduction (loan settlement), issuance of debt securities etc are examples of financing activities.

For assets disposed, the amount received from the disposal is the amount recorded as an investing activity.

Amount received - Book value of asset = Gain on disposal

Amount received = $221000 + $882000

= $1,103,000

Answer:

both companies should invest because the NPV of both companies are positive

Explanation:

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

Only projects with a positive NPV should be accepted. A project with a negative NPV should not be chosen because it isn't profitable.

When choosing between positive NPV projects, choose the project with the highest NPV first because it is the most profitable.

Cash flow in year 0 = - $8.4 million

Cash flow in year 1-7 = $2.2 million

NPV of Lester with I of 15.8% = 0.54 million

NPV of Med Inc with I of 13.7% = 1.12 million

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

nikklg [1K]

Answer:

E=-4.0746

Explanation:

Using the midpoint method, Lauren's income elasticity of demand for new outfits is determined by the change in income multiplied by the average number of outfits, divided by the change in the number of outfits multiplied by the average income:

$E=\frac{\Delta I*O_{avg}}{\Delta O*I_{avg}}\\E=\frac{(37,000-30,000)*\frac{20+19}{2}}{(19-20)*\frac{37,000+30,000}{2}}\\E=-4.0746$

Her income elasticity of demand for new outfits is -4.0746.
