The present value of a lump sum future amount:__________

Business

SVEN [57.7K]4 years ago

Answer:

  • <u><em>d) increases as the interest rate decreases.</em></u>

Explanation:

<em>Present value</em> is the value today; future value is the value some time in the future.

The mere notion of the value of money in time should tell you that, further away in time (towards the future) a sum of money is found, the lower its value today.

Then, you should be able to rule out some propositions that are contrary to that intuition:

  • a<em>) decreases as the time period decreases</em> ↔ clearly false: the present value increases as the time period decreases
  • <em>e) is directly related to the time period</em>. ↔ clearly false: the present value is inversely related to the time period.

How is the present value related to the future value?

They are directly related: the higher a lump sum in the future the higher the value of it in the present; more money is more money always. More money in the future has more value in the present; less money in the future has less value in the present. Thus,  the option <em>b). is inversely related to the future value</em> is false

How is the present value related to the interest rate?. Which one is true?

  • c) is directly related to the interest rate, or
  • d) increases as the interest rate decreases

The present value is calculated discounted the future value at the interest rate. The interest rate is in the denominator of the equation to pass from future value to present value. Thus, they are inversely related (c is false); the less the interest rate, the higher the present value of a future amount (confirm d is true).

Therefore, the correct answer is that <em>the present of a lump sum future amount: </em><em><u>d) increases as the interest rate decreases.</u></em>

Palepu Company owns and operates a delivery van that originally cost $38,080. Straight-line depreciation on the van has been rec
Readme [11.4K]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below;

But before that the depreciation expense per year is

Depreciation per year = (Cost - Residual value) ÷ Useful life

= ($38,080 - $2,800) ÷ 6 years

= $5,880

1.Net book value as on disposal date is

= $38,080 - ($5,880  × 3)

= $20,440

2.

We know that

Gain on sales = (Sales - Book value)

Gain = $(20,400 - 20,400) = 0

a. Loss = $13,000 - $20,440 = -$7,440

b. Loss = $10,000 - $20,440 = -$10,440

Anarel [89]

Answer:

a) If bribes cost $1,000 each, how much will a housing inspector make each year in bribes?

So, if the corrupt inspector approves two newly built structures each week, ti means that he is bribed twice per week. There are 52 weeks in a year, so he gets a total of 104 bribes (52 x 2). If each bribe costs $1,000, then he makes a total of: $1,000 x 104 = $104,000 in bribes per year.

c) Corrupt officials may have an incentive to reduce the provision of government services to help line their own pockets.

This statement is true. Corrupt officials will want to have private companies they can obtain bribes from provide government services. It increases the probability of them making money from bribes.

d) What if reducing the number of inspectors from 20 to 10 only increased the equilibrium bribe from $1,000 to $1,500?

Reducing the number of inspectors in hafl means that each inspector now gets twice the bribes. Because the equilibrium price did not double as did the quantity of bribes, each inspector will make less money than expected, but they will still the incentive to collect all the four bribes per week.

In order to update a production process, a company can spend money now or four years from now. If the amount now would be $20,00
timama [110]

Answer: $34,980.13

Explanation:

The amount that the company will spend 4 years from now is simply the future value of the amount that it can spend today.

The amount to be spent today is $20,000 so the amount to be spent 4 years from now is the future value of $20,000:

= Amount * (1 + rate) ^ number of years

= 20,000 * ( 1 + 15%)⁴

= $34,980.13
