Option 1: PV = $400,000
Option 2: Receive (FV) $432,000 in one year

PV = FV(1/(1+i)^n), where i= 8% = 0.08, n = 1 year

PV = 432,000(1/(1+0.08)^1) = $400,000

Option 3: Receive (A) $40,000 each year fro 20 years

PV= A{[1-(1+i)^-n]/i} where, n = 20 years

PV = 40,000{[1-(1+0.08)^-20]/0.08} = $392,725.90

Option 4: Receive (A) $36,000 each year from 30 years
PV = 36,000{[1-(1+0.08)^-30]/0.08} = $405,280.20

On the basis of present value computations above, option 4 is the best option for Kerry Blales. This option has the highest present value of $405,280.20

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

Annual deposit= $60,982.31

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Future Value= $2,500,000

Number  of periods= 20 years

Interest rate= 0.07

<u>To calculate the annual deposit, we need to use the following formula:</u>

FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i

A= annual deposit

Isolating A:

A= (FV*i)/{[(1+i)^n]-1}

A= (2,500,000*0.07) / [(1.07^20) - 1]

A= 60,982.31

Allushta [10]

Answer:

Option A-The revenue must be recognized on 31 August.

Explanation:

The accrual concept says that the income must be recognized when they are earned not when the amount is received and expenses when they are incurred not when they are paid.

So according to accrual concept, the entity must deliver its share to recognize sales that is servicing the car. When the entity will service the car then it should recognize the revenue otherwise not. So in accrual basis accounting the date of payment is irrelevant for recognition of revenue and expenses.
