Effect on income= -$18,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Granfield Company has a piece of manufacturing equipment with a book value of $36,000 and a remaining useful life of four years. At the end of the four years, the equipment will have a zero salvage value. The market value of the equipment is currently $21,200. Granfield can purchase a new machine for $112,000 and receive $21,200 in return for trading in its old machine. The new machine will reduce variable manufacturing costs by $18,200 per year over the four-year life of the new machine.
Year 0= -112,000 + 21,200= -90,800
Year 1 to 4= 18,200*4= 72,800
Effect on income= -90,800 + 72,800= -18,000

Answer:
2129 futures contracts to be sold
Explanation:
Asset worth = $310 million
Asset duration = 12 years
liabilities = $248 million
Liabilities duration = 5 years
T-bond futures contracts = 104-20 (30nds)
% of assets = 310 / 248 =
<u>Determine how many futures contracts Village Bank will sell to fully hedge the balance </u>
Number of Contracts = -[Assets * (Asset Duration – (Liabilities Duration * % of Assets) / (Duration * Contract Value)]
= - [ 310 * ( 12 - ( 5 * (310/248)) / ( 8 * ( 104 + ( 20/30)) ]
= - [ 310 * ( 12 - 6.25 ) / ( 8 * 104.6667 ) ]
= - [ 310 * 5.75 / 837.3336 ]
= - 2.12878 * 1000
= 2128.78 ≈ 2129 ( number of futures contracts to be sold )
