Explanation:
Opportunity Cost
When an option is chosen from alternatives, the opportunity cost is the "cost" incurred by not enjoying the benefit associated with the best alternative choice.
Since Arshad is concerned about his mid-career salary, Physics has the highest mid-career salary among the options, therefore opportunity cost of choosing to major in communications would be Physics
Answer:
(A) Payback period for the machine= 3.5 years
(B) Simple rate of return for the machine= 87.5%
Explanation:
Alesu corporation is considering purchasing a machine that would cost $283,850
The useful life is 5 years
The machine would reduce cash operating costs by $81,100 per year
The salvage value is $107,100
(A) The payback period for the machine can be calculated as follows
= cost/amount of cash flow
= 283,850/81,100
= 3.5 years
(B) The simple rate of return for the machine can be calculated as follows
First we calculate the depreciation expense
= 283,850-107,100/5
= 176,750/5
= 35,350
Annual incremental income= cost savings -depreciation expenses
= 283,850-35,350
= 248,500
Simple rate of return = annual incremental income/cost × 100
= 248,500/283,850 × 100
= 0.875 × 100
= 87.5%
Answer:
$42.60
Explanation:
Current value = Future dividends and value*Present value of discounting factor(rate%,time period)
Current value = $1.85 / (1+10%) + $45 / (1+10%)
Current value = $1.85/1.1 + 45/1.1
Current value = $
1.68181 + $40.91
Current value = $42.5918
Current value = $42.60
