Answer:

The equipment should not cost more than  $6,318,545.68  

Explanation:

The most that the land scrapping equipment could cost is the present of the 1.5  million annuity discounted at 6% p.a.

Present Value of Annuity = A × ( 1- (1+r)^(-n))/r

A- 1,500,000, n- 5, r- 6%

=1, 500,000 × ((1.06)^(-5))/0.06

= $6,318,545.68  

The equipment should not cost more than  $6,318,545.68

Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

A firm commitment arrangement with an investment banker occurs when an investment banker buys the securities for less than the offering price and accepts the risk of not being able to sell them.

The correct option is B.

Explanation:

A firm commitment arrangement happens when an investment banker buys the securities for less than the offering price and accepts the risk of not being able to sell them.

However, the issuer receives a little less money than the offering price but he gets a specific amount for all the security being issued. The risk rests completely on the investment banker.

Therefore, the correct option is B.

Two incinerators are being considered by a waste management company. Design A has an initial cost of $2,500,000, has annual oper
Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

<u>Desing A:   </u>23,024,370‬

<u>Desing B:   </u>22,520,274.6

It should purchase desing B as the capitalized cost is lower.

Explanation:

We consider annuity for the overhauls and then, perpetuity to consider this incinerators will last indefinitely.

maintenance cost: 800,000 / 0.05 = 16,000,000

<u>Overhaul: </u>

The company will need to fund 1,250,000 every 5 years. We need to determinate the annuity to obtain this future value:

FV \div \frac{(1+r)^{time} -1}{rate} = C\\

PV 1,250,000

time 5

rate 0.05

1250000 \div \frac{(1+0.05)^{5} -1}{0.05} = C\\

C  $  $ 226,218.498

<u>Then at perpetuity:</u>

$ 226,218.498  / 0.05 = 4,524,370

<u>Desing A capitalized cost:</u>

2,500,000 + 16,000,000 + 4,524,370 = 23,024,370‬

We do the same for Desing B:

investment: 5,750,000

maintenance: 600,000 / 0.05 = 12,000,000

overhaul:

3000000 \div \frac{1-(1+0.05)^{-10} }{0.05} = C\\

C  $ 238,513.725

238,513.73/0.05 =  4,770,274.6

Capitalized cost: 5,750,000 + 12,000,000 + 4,770,274.6 = 22,520,274.6‬
