Answer:
(D) $71,446
Explanation:
we will calcualte the present value for an 11 payments annuity-due (there is eleven payment of 10,000 if we count the one at purchase date) which couta is 10,000 discounted at 10%
C 10,000
time 11
rate 0.1
PV $71,445.6711
rounding to the nearest dollars: 71,446
Answer:
The answer is $53,732.
Explanation:
The value of the equipment reported on Libby Company's balance sheet is equal to:
Cash payment at purchase + Present value of 8 equal semiannual payment, $6,700 each discounted at 3% ( because semiannual payment is made for 4 years so we have 2 x4 = 8 payments; and annual borrowing rate is 6% so we have discount rate = 6% /2 = 3%).
with:
Cash payment at purchase = $6,700;
Present value of 8 equal semiannual payment, $6,700 each discounted at 3% = (6,700/3%) x ( 1 - 1.03^(-8) ) = $47,032 ( that is, apply the formula to find present value of annuity).
we have:
The value of the equipment reported on Libby Company's balance sheet = 6,700 + 47,032 = $53,732.
