Nissan’s all-electric car, the Leaf, has a base price of $32,780 in the United States, but it is eligible for a $7500 federal ta

x credit. A consulting engineering company wants to evaluate the purchase or lease of one of the vehicles for use by its employees traveling to job sites in the local area. The cost for leasing the vehicle will be $4200 per year (payable at the end of each year) after an initialization charge of $2500 paid now. If the company purchases the vehicle, it will also purchase a home charging station for $2200 that will be partially offset by a 50% tax credit. If the company expects to be able to sell the car and charging station for 40% of the base price of the car alone at the end of 3 years, should the company purchase or lease the car? Use an interest rate of 10% per year and annual worth analysis.

Answer:

Nissan's all-electric car, the Leaf

PV cost of Leaf Purchase =   $16,529

PV cost of Leasing =             $12,944.78

The company should lease the car.

Explanation:

a) Costs incurred to purchase the Leaf:

Base price                    $32,780

less Federal tax credit ($7,500)

Charging station             2,200

less 50% tax credit         (1,100)

Cash paid                  $26,380

Sales value after 3 yrs (9,851) ( $26,380 - 40% of base discounted to PV)

Net PV Investment    $16,529

b) Calculation of Discounted Present Values of Payments under Leasing, using online financial calculator:

PV (Present Value) $12,944.78

N (Number of Periods) 3.000

I/Y (Interest Rate) 10.000%

PMT (Periodic Payment)   $4,200.00

Starting Investment $2,500.00

Total Principal $15,100.00

Total Interest $2,129.50

c) The purchase of the Leaf would involve a present value cost of $26,380 after deducting all the savings from tax.  The 40% sales value of the car at the end of 3 years = $13,112 ($32,780 x 40%).  When this sales value is discounted to PV of $9,851, the PV of the car investments becomes $16,529 ($26,380 - $9,851).  On the other hand, leasing will cost in PV the sum of $12,944.78

Determine the price in period 1 (the future) if 30 units of oil are consumed in period 0 (the present).
Dovator [93]

Answer:

$16.50

Explanation:

Note: The complete question is attached as picture below

We know that there is a total of 90 units of oil and 30 units is consumed in period 0.

So, in period 1, the consumption amount will be = 90-30=60 units.

So, Q1 = 192 - 8P

For 60 units, the price will be 60 = 192 - 8P

8P = 192 - 60

8P = 132

P = 132 / 8

P = 16.5

So, the price in period 1 is $16.50

posledela

Answer: d. both Iris and Daphne will want to purchase Joss's services but Joss will not be willing to undertake the job.

Explanation:

Iris will want Joss's services but they will be unable to afford them as Iris is only willing to pay $500 whereas Joss wants $1,200 for the job.

The same goes for Daphne who is only willing to pay $800.

Both of them will therefore want to hire Joss but will be unable to.

Joss could however charge both of them their willingness to pay and then sum the cash up and give them both the research whilst still making a profit.
