Answer:
A. Decrease
Explanation:
In investment appraisal with the method of Net Present Value, the bone of contention and the central matter is the TIME VALUE OF MONEY.
In the above scenario, the initial working capital was 100% released in proportions of 40%, 40% and 20%, throughout the 3 years of the project. However, if the reverse had been the case, i.e. parting with more cash now and the requirement of working capital now becomes: Year 0 = -10,000, Year 1 = - 10,000, Year 2 = -10,000, Year 3 = +30,000; the NPV would definitely shrink because the value of 10,000 each in Years 0-2 would not be the same when it is recovered from the project in year 3. The value will be smaller and hence the NPV of the project would have decreased as a result of the time value of money.
Answer:
The accounts receivable balance on May 31 is $17850
Explanation:
First we need to determine the amount of credit sales for the month of May. The credit sales for May will be 70% of the total sales for May. Thus, the credit sales for May are,
Credit sales- May = 34000 * 0.7 = $23800
The accounts receivable balance at the end of May will contain the amount due from credit sales that are made in May that are still not collected and will be collected in the next month as per the company's policy.
Accounts receivable at the end of May = 23800 * 0.75 = $17850
I'm pretty sure it is interest
