Answer:
94 V
Explanation:
Here we don't have the figure showing the circuit and how the resistors are connected: therefore, we have to make some assumptions.
Here we will assume that the three resistors are connected in series: this means that they are connected along the same branch, and therefore, the current flowing through them is the same.
As a result, the total voltage drop across some resistors in series is given by the sum of the voltage drops on each resistor.
Therefore, for three resistors in series
Where here we have:
is the voltage drop on the 1st resistor
is the voltage drop on the 2nd resistor
is the voltage drop on the 3rd resistor
Substituting into the equation, we find:
Answer:
Ans. c) Discounted period is 1.01 years longer than payback period.
Explanation:
Hi, the payback period is the time that takes for the initial invesment to return to the investor (regardless of the time value of money), so we add the cash flow for every period until the result is zero.
The discounted payback period is almost the same, here we do take into account the time value of money. let´s check out the math to this.
Payback period
Period Cash Flow Adding cash flows Coefficient Payback
0 -$50,000.00 -$50,000.00 3
1 $15,000.00 -$35,000.00 1
2 $15,000.00 -$20,000.00 1
3 $20,000.00 $- 1
4 $10,000.00
5 $5,000.00
Payback period = 3
Discount rate 8%
Period Cash Flow Present Value Adding Cash Coefficient
0 -$50,000.00 -$50,000.00 -$50,000.00
1 $15,000.00 $13,888.88 -$36,111.11 1
2 $15,000.00 $12,860.08 -$23,251.03 1
3 $20,000.00 $15,876.64 -$7,374.38 1
4 $10,000.00 $7,350.29 -$24.09 1
5 $5,000.00 $3,402.91 0.01
Discounted payback period = 4.01
The only thing here that needs some further explanation is the 0.01, this is by doing the following calculation.
This is the fraction of the year that will turn those $24.09 in zero (taking into account the cash flow of period 5 which is 3402.91)
So, discounted payback period - Payback period= 4.01 - 3 = 1.01
Best of luck.
