Answer: It is NOT a good investment.

Explanation:

Your bank account pays an interest of 9% per annum. This can be used as a discount rate to discount the dividends and the final Sales price to the present to see if the present value of Future benefits is more than what the stock is valued at now.

If the Present Value of the future benefits is higher than the cost now, XYZ is a good investment.

$4 are expected every year for 3 years and then on the third year, the stock will be sold for $100.

Discounting therefore gives us,

= (4 / (1 + 9%) ) + (4 / (1 + 9%)^2) + ( 4 / ( 1 + 9%) ^ 3) + ( 100 / ( 1 + 9%) ^ 3)

= 87.34

= $87.34

The Present Value of the future benefits including the future sales price is $87.34 which is less than the current cost of the stock at $90.

XYZ is NOT a good investment.

ale4655 [162]

Answer:

c. $215,000

Explanation:

The computation of the amount charged to income is shown below:

But before that first we have to determine the book value as on Jan 2024 which is

Total patent cost

= $200,000 + $50,000

= $250,000

Amortized cost till year 2024 is

= ($250,000 ÷ 10 years) × 3 years

= $75,000

The three years is counted from 2021 to 2024

Now

Book value on Jan 2024 is

= $250,000 - $75,000

= $175,000

So,

Amount charged to income  is

= $175,000 + $40,000

= $215,000

Which form of investment has the most amount of risk involved?
Salsk061 [2.6K]
Is this supposed to be a multiple choice question?  It is way fun to think about projects other people might be up to which carry outrageously high risk!

Restaurants are a common example -- there's a little bit of magic in whether a new restaurant will catch on and become popular.

Farming is pretty risky.  You can do everything right and have a hail storm come and ruin the crops.  That's why there are government programs and commodity markets that help farmers mitigate their risk -- because the rest of us who need to eat really need for people to be willing to farm!
