Answer:
Opportunity cost refers to value of sacrifice one make for making a particular decision. Here, the cost of opportunity of leaving a job to start a business will be = Salary lost due to starting a business + Money initially spend on setting up of business + interest lost on initial investment (which you could have otherwise earned had you invested the money elsewhere) - potential profit from the business
<em>Calculating the annual opportunity cost</em>
Salary lost per year = $50,000
Money initially spend = $100,000
Let us assume the interest rate to be 2% and at this rate as i have not spend the money on starting the business. So interest per year = 100,000 * 2 * 1 / 100 = $2000
Thus, opportunity cost = $50,000 + $100,000 + $2000 - potential profit from the business. So therefore, Opportunity Cost is $152,000 - potential profit from the business per year.
Answer:
$58,002.60
Explanation:
First, it is clear to include the $21,000 as part of the value of the equipment.
Now, the $9,000 annual payment after every year for six years need to be presented in its present value, meaning what is the value of those future amounts of $9,000 on June 30, 2018.
To calculate the present value of annuity (annuity means constant and equal payments) for those 6 payments of $9,000, we would need the Present Value Factor which is supplied from the Present Value Table.
Looking at 12% for 6 periods ("six annual installments") on the table, it gives the PV factor of 4.1114.
Just multiply $9,000 by 4.1114 and we get 37,002.60
Finally add the downpayment of $21,000 with the present value $37,002.60 and we would get the total value of the equipment of 58,002.60
Answer:
6.5%
Explanation:
Initial investment= $809100-$22900
= $786200
Annual incremental net operating income= $141500-$89900
=$51600
Therefore, the formular for simple rate of return is:
Annual incremental net operating income/ Initial investment
= $51600/$786200
= 0.065×100
= 6.5%
Thus, the simple rate of return on the investment is closest to 6.5%
