So in this case, you would need to find the present value (PV) of the monthly payments. With the information given, you would have a PV= 195,413.08, which is less than the lump sum payment. In this case, you would take the 1 time payment.

Another way to look at this is to calculate the future value (FV) of both payouts. For the lump sum payment, you would assume the same interest rate (6%) and at the end of the same 20 years period, your investment would be worth 662,040.90 while the monthly payment option would be worth 646,857.25

Bas_tet [7]
The future amount of an investment with compound interest can be calculated through the equation,

     F = P x (1 + ieff)^n

where F is the future amount, P is the current value of the money, ieff is the effective interest (rate per year), and n is the number of years.

From the equation, all are given except for the effective interest, i. Now, substituting the known values,
  14,398.87 = (7,775) x (1 + ieff)^14

The value of ieff from the equation is 0.044999. 

Since the value of the ieff when translated to percentage is equal to 4.5% as well, the interest rate is compounded yearly.

raketka [301]

Answer:

Instructions are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Value at 18= $4,909

Interest rate= 3%

To calculate the final value, we need to use the following formula:

FV= PV*(1+i)^n

A) Number of years= 7

FV= 4,909*(1.03^7)= $6,307.45

B) Number of years= 47

FV= 4,909*(1.03^47)= $19,694.39

C) Finally, we need to determine the original investment. We need to isolate the present value from the formula:

PV= FV/(1+i)^n

PV= 4,909/(1.03^18)

PV= $2,883.52

kirza4 [7]

Answer:

Piper should report $308,000 as net income for the year . Option C

Explanation:

Accumulated Depreciation till 2014 = [$600,000×(5+4+3)] ÷ 15 = $ 480,000

Book Value at beginning 2015 = $600,000 - $480,000 = $120,000

Depreciation Expense in 2015 = $120,000 ÷ 2 = $60,000

Net Income before depreciation & taxes = $ 500,000

Depreciation = $ 60,000

Electronic Benefits Transfer = Net Income before depreciation & taxes - Depreciation

= $ 500,000  - $ 60,000  

=$ 440000

Tax Expenses = $440,000 × 30% = $132,000

Net Income =$ 308,000
