Answer:

A. Take $1 million now.

Explanation:

A. If we take $1 million now the present value of the money is $1 million.

B. If we choose to take $1.2 million paid out over 3 years then present value will at 10% will be;

$300,000 + $300,000 / 1.2 + $300,000/ 1.44 + $300,000 / 1.728

$300,000 + $250,000 + $208,000+ $173,611 = $931,944

The present value of option B is less than present value of option A. We should select option A and take $1 million now.

Explanation:

MARCS five years class:

after four years we will have depreicate:

0.2 + 0.32 + 0.192 + 0.1152 = 0,8272‬

(Data from the attached MACRS)

tax basis of the asset:

6,170,000 x ( 1 - 0.8272) = 1.066.176‬

We will be taxed for the difference between the basis and the salvage value:

1,370,000 - 1,066,176 = 303,824‬ taxable gain:

303,824 x 30% = 91,147.2

After tax salvage value:

salvage valeu - income tax expense

1,370,000 - 91,147.2 = 1,278,852.8‬

umka21 [38]

Answer:

Three things:

-Under processing before canning

-Spoilage before canning

-entrance of water through can seams during cooling

Explanation:

The preservation process is aimed at reducing the rate of spoilage of food products over time.

When adequately processed a time can be given during which the food product is still not spoilt. For example 1 year from date of canning. After this period there is a high possibility of food spoilage.

If a can of peas was bought from a grocery and it is spoilt it is either the peas were not well processed, there was spoilage before commercial canning, or water entered when cooling during canning

Derek just received a bonus and wishes to set aside a portion of it in order to save for a 10-year reunion cruise that his old c
kotegsom [21]

Answer:

$3,168

Explanation:

We will receive $4000 in future (after 4 years time) which means all we want to know is the amount that we Derek must deposit today.

This present value of the $4000 payment received after 4 years from today can be calculated using the following formula:

Present value = Future Value / (1 + r)^n

Here

Future Value is $4000

r is 6%

n is 4 years

So by putting values, we have:

Present value = $4000 / (1 + 6%)^4 Years

Present value = $3,168

Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

The correct answer is $2,444.6 billion

Explanation:

FCFE= FCF+ Increase in debt- Interest (1-t)

        =  $205+$25-$22( 1-0.35)

        =$215.7

Market Value = [(215.7)1.02)]/ [11%-2%]

                      =$2,444.6

Assuming a single period growth rate of 2%,

the forecasted FCFE =$215.7(1+0.02)

                                  =$220.01 billion

Although this is not available in the options provided ,$220.01 billion is the correct answer.
