Explanation:
Giving the following information:
You have just made a $1,500 contribution to your retirement account. Assume you earn a rate of return of 8.7 percent and make no additional contributions.
To find the final value we need to use the following formula:
FV= PV*(1+i)^n
A) n= 25
FV= 1500* (1.087^25)= 12073.41
B) n= 20
FV= 1500*(1.087^20)= $7955.77
Answer: $1,000
Explanation:
Opportunity cost is the benefit that is foregone for an individual by choosing one alternative over other alternatives available to him.
If the opportunity cost is lower for an individual then this will benefit him whereas if the opportunity cost is higher then this will not benefit the individuals.
Therefore, the opportunity cost for operating a homeless shelter is the amount that is received by renting the space of shelter for wedding parties.
Opportunity cost = Average wedding parties per month × Rent per party
= 5 × $200
= $1,000
Answer:
The correct answer is B.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
An investment of $115 generates after-tax cash flows of $50 in Year 1, $90 in Year 2, and $150 in Year 3.
Rate of return= 20%
To calculate the present value, we need the following formula:
NPV= -Io + ∑[Cf/(1+i)^n]
Cf= cash flow
Io= 115
Cf1= 50/ 1.20= $41.67
Cf2= 90/1.2^2= $62.5
Cf3= 150/1.2^3= $86.81
NPV= -115 + (41.67 + 62.5 + 86.81)
NPV= $75.98
Answer: Management will not look at this investment in equipment favorably, as the net present value of the project is negative, which will decrease shareholder's wealth.
Explanation:
