Answer:

Explanation:

there are two out flows :

1) the payment of maintenance $250 From year 2 to 12

2) The increase in maintenance cost $50 from year 3 to 12

Calculate the present value using annuity formula for both cash outflows

1)

total payments = 11  (form year 2 to 12)

payment = $250

Rate = 7%

present value = P=R(1-(1+i )^n) / i

                           P=250(1-(1+i )^-11) / 7%  

                            P=250 *  0.5249 / 7%  

                            P=250 * 7.4986

                            P=1874.67

2)

total payments = 10  (form year 3 to 12)

payment = $50

Rate = 7%

present value = P=R(1-(1+i )^n) / i

                           P=50(1-(1+i )^-10) / 7%  

                            P=50 *  0.4916 / 7%  

                            P=50 * 7.0235

                            P=351.1791

Total payment that should be set side = 1874.67+351.1791 =2225.848

List at least 3 risks your company will face , and explain how you will manage those risks
Mekhanik [1.2K]

There are many risks that businesses face, including:

  • Competition risk - there could be another business that draws customers away from your company.
  • Economic risk-  if the economy is doing poorly, it could increase costs or reduce sales
  • Reputation - if someone posts a bad review online, how will that effect your sales?
  • Legal/Compliance issues- you have to comply with industry regulations and laws, and there is great risk to you and the business if you break these rules
  • Resources risk - if you rely on a specific material to run your business and that material isn't available you could be in trouble (ex. if the orange crop is wiped out by a hurricane, orange juice makers could be in trouble)
