Compute the payback period for each of these two separate investments: A new operating system for an existing machine is expecte

d to cost $290,000 and have a useful life of six years. The system yields an incremental after-tax income of $83,653 each year after deducting its straight-line depreciation. The predicted salvage value of the system is $11,000. A machine costs $210,000, has a $15,000 salvage value, is expected to last eleven years, and will generate an after-tax income of $46,000 per year after straight-line depreciation.

Answer:

Project A's payback period = 2.23 years

Project B's payback period = 3.3 years

Explanation:

                                                              project A                project B

initial investment                                 $290,000               $210,000

useful life                                               6 years                   11 years

yearly cash flow                     $83,653 + $46,500     $46,000 + $17,727

                                                         = $130,153                = $63,727

salvage value                                          $11,000                 $15,000

payback period                      $290,000 / $130,153  $210,000 / $63,727

                                                        = 2.23 years              = 3.3 years

Effectus [21]

Answer:

$12

Explanation:

The standalone price is the price at which the seller (Verma) would sell its products or services (discount coupon) separately to other customers.

to determine the standalone price of the discount coupon we must multiply the change in discount by the expected use of the coupons:

  • change in discount = $150 x (50% - 10%)  = $150 x 40% = $60
  • expected use = 20%

= $60 x 20% = $12

ch4aika [34]

Answer:

Inside directors may be members of the firm and outside directors are supposed to be elected from outside the firm.

Explanation:

A board of directors in most corporations consists of inside directors and outside directors. Inside directors are usually the members of the firm and have direct access to the company's operating. CEO, CFO and CIO are typical examples of inside directors. On the other hand, outside directors are not employees of the firm, nor stakeholders. They have unbiased opinions in board meetings.

Lauren is trying to find her net income. She used the statement and the steps shown.
Marat540 [252]

Net income = (Total of all sources of income)- (Total of all bills and expenses)

You must subtract expenses because they are things you are <u>paying for.</u>

The current price of the common stock of Internet Enterprises is $100. Over the course of a year, the stock's price will either
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

Current value of this newly issued option on Internet Enterprises= $25

Explanation:

Risk free rate for 6 month or period 1= (1000-909.09)/909.09=10%

Risk free rate for 1 year= (1000-826.45)/826.45=21%

Hence, risk free rate for period 2= (1+21%)/(1+10%)-1=10%

Now, Risk free rate factor for period 1 (R1)=1+10%=1.1

Risk Free rate factor for period 2 (R2)=1+10%=1.1

Upward price factor for a period(u)=(1+100%)^(1/2)=1.414

Downward price factor for a period(d)=(1-50%)^(1/2)=0.707

Probability of upward price= (R-d)/(u-d)=(1.1-0.707)/(1.414-0.707)=0.55

Probability of downward price= 1-0.55=0.45

After period 1: Upward price=100*1.414=141.4 with probability 55%

Downward price =100*0.707=70.7 with probability 45%

After period 2:

Upward Price will be =141.4*1.414=200 with probability= 55%*55%=30.25%

Downward price will be=70.7*0.707=50 with probability=45%*45%=20.25%

Mid price will be = 141.4*0.707 or 70.7*1.414=100 with probability =2*45%*55%=49.5%

Now, the highest price the stock can go is $200 with probability 30.25% and it was issued at $100

Hence, expected payoff of the option=30.25%*(200-100)=$30.25

So, current value of the newly issued option= 30.25/(1+21%)=$25
