Answer:

i. Discounted cashflow equations.

a.  $180,000 at the end of five years.

This is a lump sum present value/ discounted cashflow which can be calculated as;

Formula = 180,000 / ( 1 + r)^n

= 180,000/ ( 1 + 12%)^5

= $102,136.83

b. $11,400 a year forever

This is a perpetuity. The present value/ discounted cashflow of a perpetuity is calculated as;

Formula = Amount/rate

= 11,400/12%

= $95,000

c. $19,000 for each of 10 years.

This is an annuity. The formula for calculating the Present value/ discounted cashflow of an annuity is;

Formula = Annuity * [\frac{( 1 - (1 + i)^{-n} )}{i} ] where <em>i </em>is interest rate and <em>n</em> is number of periods

= 19,000 * [\frac{( 1 - (1 + 0.12)^{-10} )}{0.12} ]

= $107,354.24

d. $6,500 next year and increasing thereafter by 5% a year forever.

This is a growing perpetuity. The present value/ discounted cashflow formula is;

= Amount / ( discount rate - growth rate)

= 6,500 / ( 12% - 5%)

= $92,857.14

ii. Choose <u>$19,000 for each of 10 years</u> as it has the highest present value.

Ivenika [448]

Answer:

Instructions are listed below

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

The high-low method involves taking the highest level of activity and the lowest level of activity and comparing the total costs at each level.

Mountain has recorded the following for the past nine months:

January:

Number of Cavities= 375

Total cost= $5,300

February:

Number of Cavities  500

TC= 5,850

March

Number of Cavities 350

TC= 5,200

April

Number of Cavities 600

TC=6,250

May

Number of Cavities 325

TC= 5,150

June

Number of Cavities 475

TC= 5,700

July

Number of Cavities 525

TC= 6,100

August

Number of Cavities  575

TC= 6,300

September

Number of Cavities  450

TC= 5,550

A) Variable cost= (Highest activity cost - lowest activity cost) / (Highest activity units - lowest activity units)

Variable cost= (6300 - 5150) / (600 - 325)= 4.18 per unit

Fixed cost= HACost - (variable cost per unit * HAUnits)= 6300 - (4.18*600)= 3792

Fixed cost= LACost - (variable cost per unit* LAUnits)= 5150 - (4.18*325)= 3792

B)  Q= 400

Total cost= 3792 + 4.18*400= $5464
