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

A firm has the following accounts and financial data for 2007:
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

The correct answer is $302.40.

Explanation:

According to the scenario, the computation can be done as:

To calculate firms' earning first we less cost of goods and total operating expenses from sales revenue:

= $3,060 - $1,800 - 600

= $660

Now we deduct the interest expense, then

= $660 - $126

= $534

Now we deduct tax rate, then

= $534 × $213.60    ( $534× 40%)

= $320.40

Now we finally deduct the dividends to get the firm's earning to common shareholder's, then

= $320.40 - 18

= $302.40

Hence, the firm's earning to common shareholder's is $302.40.
