Answer:

d. It will have a credit balance of $100,000.

Brief Exercise 24-2 Hsung Company accumulates the following data concerning a proposed capital investment: cash cost $216,758, n

Tanzania [10]

Answer:

Net Present Value = $12,400

Since net present value is positive, the investment shall be made.

Explanation:

Capital outlay = $216,758

Cash inflow every year = $43,900

Period = 10 Years

Net Present Value = Present value of cash inflow - Present value of cash outflow

Present Value of Cash Inflow = Cash inflow each year X Present value factor of cash inflows for years

= $43,900 X 5.22

= $229,158

Present value of cash outflow = $216,758

Net Present Value = $229,158 - $216,758 = $12,400

Since net present value is positive, the investment shall be made.

Net Present Value measures the net effect of an investment discounted at current rate of interest, i.e. cost of capital.

Final Answer

Net Present Value = $12,400

Since net present value is positive, the investment shall be made.
