Answer:

The present value index is 0.91 which is less than 1. So, the investment should not be accepted.

Explanation:

Present Value Index : It shows the ratio between the sum of present value of all years cash inflows after applying the discount rate and initial investment.

In mathematically,

Present value index = Sum of present value of all years cash flows with discount rate ÷ Initial Investment

where,

Present value = Net cash flow × Discount rate

So,

Year 1 = $180,000 × 0.909 = $163,620

Year 2 = $120,000 × 0.826 = $99,120

Year 3 = $100,000 × 0.751 = $75,100

Year 4 = $90,000 × 0.683 = $61,470

Year 5 = $90,000 × 0.621 = $55,890

Now, Sum all the yearly cash inflows which equals to

= $163,620 + $99,120 + $75,100 + $61,470 + $55,890

= $455,200

So, the present value index = $455,200 ÷ $500,000 = 0.91

Hence, the present value index is 0.91 which is less than 1. So, the investment should not be accepted.

Marrrta [24]

There are quite a few reasons that this difference could be observed. The lower black median age could be connected to the greater number of births in the black minority group than in the whites. Another reason could be the aging of the non-Hispanic white group to a post child-bearing age and consequently the general aging of this subgroup of the population. In general, differences in group medians are due to the distribution of ages and the observed range of the ages in the two dissimilar population groups.

a personal account earmarked as a retirement supplement contains $292,200. suppose $250,000 is used to establish an annuity that
Hoochie [10]

Suppose $250,000 is used to establish an annuity that earns 6%, compounded quarterly, and pays $6000 at the end of each quarter. It will take about 120 quarters until the account balance reaches $0.

Amount invested (Present value) = $250000

Quarterly payment (At the end of each quarter) (P) = $4500

Interest Rate (Quarterly) (r) =  6% /4

= 1.5% = 0.015

A number of quarters (n) = ?

Future value at the end  = 0

Present value of Annuity formula:

Present value  = P × (1-(1+r))^{(-n)}  / r

250000 =  4500 × (1-((1+0.015))^{(-n)}  / 0.015

250000 =  300000 × (1-((1+0.015)}}^{(-n)}

250000 / 300000 = 1-(1+0.015)^{(-n)}

0.83333 = 1-(1.015)^{(-n)

n = 120

Hence is shall take 120 Quarters until the account balance is $0.

Deffense [45]

Answer:

Variable cost per unit= $2.27 per machine hour

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

January 3,041 $4,032

February 3,456 $4,608

March 4,147 $6,912

April 5,184 $9,101

May 3,686 $5,760

June 5,322 $9,216

To calculate the unitary variable cost, we need to use the following formula:

Variable cost per unit= (Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost)/ (Highest activity units - Lowest activity units)

Variable cost per unit= (9,216 - 4,032) / (5,322 - 3,041)

Variable cost per unit= $2.27 per machine hour
