In June 1985, Joseph Marcantuone and Robert Gieson purchased property located in East Orange, New Jersey. At the time of purchas

e, the property was partly occupied and leased to Carriage Trade Cleaners, a dry cleaning establishment. A number of dry cleaners continuously operated on this site since 1930. Marcantuone and Gieson owned and operated a grocery store on another section of the property. They have never personally owned or operated a dry cleaning establishment on the property. JRM, LLC, and Sang Hak Shin were tenants on the property and the last operators of the dry cleaning establishment that utilized the hazardous substance tetrachloroethylene, or perchloroethylene (PCE), during the time Marcantuone and Gieson owned the property. The city of East Orange acquired the property through condemnation for the purpose of building a school on the property. But, the PCE was discovered on the property and out of the $629,407 given to Marcantuone and Gieson as compensation for the taking, the city held back $182,035.20 for the cost of the PCE clean-up. It cost the city a total of $212,000 to complete the clean-up of the property. ​

Vsevolod [243]

Answer: See Explanation

Explanation:

The payback period for both projects would be calculated as:

Alpha Project

Cost = $530,000

Annual net cash flow = $60,000

Payback period = Cash / Annual net cash flow

= $530,000 / $60,000

= 8.83

Beta Project

Cost = $170,000

Annual net cash flow = $18,000

Payback period = Cash / Annual net cash flow

= $170,000 / $18,000

= 9.4

We can see that Alpha Project is better as the payback period is lesser than Beta project

Answer:

The APY is 14.9%

Explanation:

To find the annual percentage yield we need to compute the effective annual rate of interest.

The Effective annual rate of return(EAR) is the equivalent rate to be paid where compounding is done frequently at period or interval less than a year.

Compounding implies the regular interval when interest is always computed; in this scenario, it is monthly.

The EAR can be worked out as follows

EAR = ( (1+r)^m - 1 ) × 100

r- interest rate per period

m- number of periods in a year

EAR - Effective annual rate

r = 3.5%/3 = 1.167 % per month

m= number of months in a year = 12

EAR =( 1.01167^12-1)× 100 = 14.9%

The APY is 14.9%

This implies the quoted interest rate of 3.5% per quarter is the same as paying 14.9% per year
