Answer:

$2,096,924.50

Explanation:

Present value of an investment and cash inflows is measured at present time means year 0. Gradient is also valued at present time.

$760,000 each year at 9% for next 3 years is annuity payment and its Present value can be calculated as follow

PV of Annuity = P + P x ( 1 - ( 1 + r )^-(n-1) / r

Where

P = $760,000

r = 9%

n = 3 years

Placing values in the formula

PV of Annuity = $760,000 + $760,000 x ( 1 - ( 1 + 9% )^-(3-1) / 9%

PV of Annuity = $760,000 + $760,000 x 1.759111  

PV of Annuity = $760,000 + $1,336,924.50  

PV of Annuity = $2,096,924.50

Division ABC has $750,000 invested in assets and earned $200,000 in income. Division XYZ has $800,000 invested in assets and ear
Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

Division XYZ has the highest residual income

Explanation:

Residual income is the excess of the controllable profit over the opportunity cost of capital invested.

It is used to appraise and evaluate the performance of separate divisions of the same company where different managers are responsible for each

It is computed as follows:

Residual income = Controllable profit - (cost of capital× operating assets)

<em>Division ABC</em>

Residual income = 200,000 - (10%×750,000) = $125,000

Residual income= $125,000

<em />

<em>Division XYZ</em>

Residual income = 210,000 - (10% ×800,000) = $130 ,000

Residual income= $130,000

Division XYZ has a higher residual income of $130,000 compared to the $125,000 of division ABC. A difference of $5,000 higher.

sarah Jones wants to deposit $2,000 per year into an account earning 4 percent for the next 3 years, so she can purchase a used
andre [41]

Answer:

Compounding formula would be used here which is as under:

Future Value = Present value * (1+r)^n

FV = (PV is $2000) *  ( 1 + 4%)^ 3 number of years

Remember that r is the return that is 4% that Sarah Jones will receive.

So

FV = $2250

So this is the amount that she will receive after three years. I would recommend her to invest in ordinary shares (take higher risk for higher return) so that she is able to buy a better car.
