          NPV           3.75

Project B should be accepted

Explanation:

In this case, we need to discount the cash inflow of plan A at 12.3% for 1 year and then deduct the initial outlay from the present value of cash inflow. The discount factor could be derived from the present value table.

For plan B, we will discount the cash inflow at 12.3% for 20 years. In this case, we will use the annuity factor for 20 years.  Thereafter, we will multiply the cashflow by the annuity factor for 20 years to obtain the present value. The initial outlay will be deducted from the present value so as to obtain the net present value(NPV).

The annuity factor can be obtained from the present value of annuity table.

The project with the higher NPV will be accepted.

ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

d. $7,000.

Explanation:

The computation of the loss recorded due to asset impairment is shown below:

= Book value - fair value

= $35,000 - $28,000

= $7,000

If we consider the building and the patent we see that the estimated cash flows are  more than the book value, so no loss on impairment should be taken place

Therefore, only $7,000 should be recorded as a loss on impairment of the asset
