Answer:

$1.0725 Million

Explanation:

So now

Net Present Value =  Annuity value of the even cash inflow - Investment

Here

Investment is $48 Million

Annuity Value of $13.5 Million Cash Inflow = $13.5 Million * Annuity factor for 5 years at 11.66%

Annuity factor  = (1 -  (1 + r)^ -n) / r

Here

r is 11.66% (Step1) and n is 5 years

Annuity Factor = (1 - (1 + 11.66%)^-5) / 11.66%

Annuity Factor = 3.635

By putting values in the above equation, we have:

Net Present Value = $13.5 Million * 3.635  -  $48 Million

NPV = $1.0725 Million

Step1: Find r which Weighted average cost of capital (WACC)

Weighted Average Cost of capital  

= Value of Debt / (V of debt + V of equity) * After tax cost of debt      PLUS

(Value of equity (Value of Debt / (V of debt + V of equity)  * cost of equity

Here

Post tax cost of debt = Pre tax cost of debt * (1 + Tax rate)

Post tax cost of debt = 9% * (1- 30%) = 6.3%

The debt to equity ratio is 25% which means equity is 100% and debt is 25%.

So

Value of debt is 25%

value of equity is 100%

and total value of capital structure is 125%

This means

WACC = (25% / 125% * 6.3%) + (100% / 125% * 13%)

= 1.26% + 10.4% = 11.66%

Wizard Co. purchased two machines for $250,000 each on January 2, 2005.
Vikki [24]

Answer:

B. $275,000

Explanation:

The second machine will be depreciate over time as it can later be used for operational purposes or another research projects. The first, as can only be used for a  research project It should be considered expenses for the entire amount regardless of the useful life.

Machine B useful life 10 years

depreciation expense: cost / useful life

250,000 / 10 = 25,000

machine A 250,000 + 25,000 depreciation for machine B = 275,000 total

The following two graphs show the markets for smartphones in Sweden and Norway. Use the graphs to answer the questions that foll
zalisa [80]

Answer:

Assume there are no transportation costs. With trade, the price of $22.5 brings about balance in exports and imports. At this price, 600 smartphones are traded. With trade, Sweden produces 900 smartphones and consumes 300 smartphones, and Norway produces 300 smartphones and consumes 900 smartphones.

Now suppose the per-unit transportation cost from Sweden to Norway is $5. With trade, the transportation cost changes the price of smartphones in Sweden to $25 and in Norway to $25. Sweden will produce 800 smartphones and consume 400 smartphones, thus exporting 400 smartphones. Norway will produce 400 smartphones and consume 800 smartphones, thus importing 400 smartphones.

Explanation:

With no transportation costs, Sweden shall export smartphones and Norway shall import smartphones because the market price is lower in Sweden than in Norway.

The demand and supply functions for smartphones in Sweden, derived from the given values, are:

Q_{D} = 1200 - 40P\\

Q_{S} = 40P

The export supply (ES) equation is:

ES = Q_{S} - Q_{D}

ES = 40P - (1200 - 40P)

ES = 80P - 1200

The demand and supply functions for smartphones in Norway, derived from the given values, are:

Q_{D} = 1800 - 40P

Q_{S} = 40P - 600

The import demand (ID) equation is:

ID = Q_{D} - Q_{S}

ID = 1800 - 40P - (40P - 600)

ID = 2400 - 80P

The equilibrium price and quantity traded is determined where ES = ID.

80P - 1200 = 2400 - 80P

This simplifies to P = 22.5

Q = 2400 - 80(22.5) = 600

Next, a transaction cost of $5 per unit is imposed from Sweden to Norway. This changes the ES function as follows.

New ES = 80(P - 5) - 1200

New ES = 80P - 1600

The new equilibrium is where New ES = MD.

80P - 1600 = 2400 - 80P

This simplifies to P = 25

Q = 80(25) - 1600 = 400
