Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

                            Unlevered             Levered

EAT       EBIT * (1-t)         EBIT - Interest - Tax

No. of shares         4,200                   3,800

Payoff per share holder = EAT / Number of shares. At Indifference point, per share payoff should be equal in both cases

EBIT * 0.66 / 4,200 = (EBIT - (37,000*8%) * 0.66) / 3,800

0.66*EBIT / 4,200 = [0.66*EBIT - 2,960*0.66] / 3,800

3,800 * 0.66EBIT = 4,200*[0.66EBIT - 1,954]

2,508 EBIT = 2,772 EBIT - 8,206,800

2,772 EBIT - 2,508 EBIT = 8,206,800

264 EBIT = 8,206,800

EBIT = 8,206,800/264

EBIT = 31086.36363636364

EBIT = $31,086.36

E. Contribution to CGHS/notified scheme. Rs.25,000 Rs.50,000(in case of senior citizen)

Maximum amount of deduction (A+ B+C+D+E) Non-senior citizens(Self & family and Parents) Senior Citizens (Self & family and Parents) Self & family (Non-senior citizens)Parents(Senior Citizens) Rs.25000+Rs.25000= Rs.50,000

Rs.50000+Rs.50000=Rs.1,00,000

Rs.25000+Rs.50000=Rs.75,000

Hence, the deduction available is his total paid minus expected paid which is Rs. 40000 + Rs. 60000 = Rs. 100000 - (A+ B+C+D+E) = Rs. 150000

. Alternative A has a first cost of $20,000, an operating cost of $9,000 per year, and a $5,000 salvage value after 5 years. Alt
JulsSmile [24]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

NPW of X is

= -$20,000 - $9,000 × (P/A,12%,5) + $5,000 × (P/F,12%,5)

= -$20,000 - $9,000 × 3.604776 + $5,000 × 0.567427

= -$49,605.85

And,  

NPW of Y is

= -$35,000 - $4,000 × (P/A,12%,5) + $7,000 × (P/F,12%,5)

= -$35,000 - $4,000 × 3.604776 + $7,000 × 0.567427

= -$45,447.11

Based on the above calculations as we can see that net present cost of Y is lower than the net present cost of X so Y should be selected

bazaltina [42]

Answer:

The correct answer is option C) Responsibility for others

Explanation:

Being responsible for the financial needs for others is one of the biggest factors that leads the individual towards increased income, reduced risk and increases future financial protection.

They have to pay for not only themselves, but others too, most commonly their family. Therefore, they think of investing in assets that have a high profit return and low risk of failure such as buying a property for future purposes or looking for a job that has more long term privileges.
