Kiddy Toy Corporation needs to acquire the use of a machine to be used in its manufacturing process. The machine needed is manuf

Firdavs [7]

Answer:

The machine should be leased because it is cheaper when compared to buying the machine.

Explanation:

To determine which option kiddy should choose , we are to calculate the net present value of buying the machine and the present value of payments thay kiddy would make if they lease the equipment.

Net present value is the present value of after tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.

NPV can be calculated using a financial calculator:

Cash flow in year 0 = $-161,000

Cash flow each year from year 1 to 11 = $-6,000

Cash flow in year 12 = $-6,000 + $11,000 = $5,000

I = 11%

NPV = $-196,809.89

Present value of lease payment

Cash flow each year from year 1 to 11 = $-26,000

I = 11%

PV = $-161,369.40

The machine should be leased because it is cheaper when compared to buying the machine.

To find the NPV using a financial calacutor:

1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

2. After inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

3. Press compute

Present value can be calculated using the same steps as above

Calculate the present value of the following: a-1. Annual payment of $800 for 10 years at 5% interest. (Do not round intermediat

kipiarov [429]

Answer:

a-1 Present value = 6,177.39

a2- Present Value =6,227.79

a3- Choose the payment stream with the highest present value = a2

b1- Present Value=3,353.98

b2-Present Value=2,805.28

b3-Choose the payment stream with the highest present value = b1

Explanation:

a-1 describes an ordinary annuity whose present value is calculated as follows:

$Present value =PMT*\frac{[1-(1+i)^-^n]}{i}$

where PMT=$800; i= 5%, n= 10

$Present value =800*\frac{[1-(1+0.05)^-^1^0]}{0.05}$ = 6,177.39

a2- $Present value =600*\frac{[1-(1+0.05)^-^1^5]}{0.05}$ = 6,227.79

a3- If I were receiving these payments annually, I would prefer the payment stream with the highest present value ie a2 -Annual payment of $600 for 15 years at 5% interest.

b1- $Present value =800*\frac{[1-(1+0.20)^-^1^0]}{0.20}$ = 3,353.98

b2- $Present value =600*\frac{[1-(1+0.20)^-^1^5]}{0.20}$ =2,805.28

b3- f I were receiving these payments annually, I would prefer the payment stream with the highest present value ie b1- Annual payment of $800 for 10 years at 20% interest.
