Answer:

Annual benefit from college education (Increase in earnings) = $50,000 - $20,000 = $30,000

<em>Assuming 4 years of college study period</em>

<u>The net present value of a college education if the interest rate is 10% is as follows</u><u>:</u>

Net present value = PV of benefits - PV of costs

Net present value = Annual benefit*P/A(10%,4) - Annual costs of attending college*P/A(10%,4)

Net present value = 30,000 * P/A(10%,4) - 20,000 * P/A(10%,4)

Net present value = (30,000 - 20,000) * P/A(10%,4)

Net present value = 10,000 * P/A(10%,4)

Net present value = 10,000 * 3.1699

Net present value = $31,699

<u>How does this change if the interest rate is 15%?</u>

Net present value = 30,000 * P/A(15%,4) - 20,000 * P/A(15%,4)

Net present value = (30,000 - 20,000) * P/A(15%,4)

Net present value = 10,000 * 2.855

Net present value = $28,550

Fischer Company has outstanding 8,000 shares of $100 par value, 5% preferred stock, and 50,000 shares of $1 par value common sto

nikklg [1K]

Answer:

The appropriate solution is "$130,000".

Explanation:

The given values are:

No. of common shares outstanding

= 50,000

Dividend per share

= $1.80

No. of preferred shares outstanding

= 8,000

Dividend per share

= $5

Now,

The total dividend on common shares will be:

= $No. \ of \ common \ shared \ outstanding\times Dividend \ per \ share$

On substituting the values, we get

= $50,000\times 1.80$

= $90,000$ ($)

The total dividend on preferred stock will be:

= $No. \ of \ preferred \ shares \ outstanding\times Divided \ per \ share$

On substituting the values, we get

= $8,000\times 5$

= $40,000$ ($)

Hence,

The total dividend paid by company will be:

= $Total \ dividend \ on \ common \ shares +Total \ dividend \ on \ preferred \ stock$

= $90,000+40,000$

= $130,000$ ($)

Thus the above is the correct answer.

Answer: Has the same basis to the donee as the donor's adjusted basis if the donee disposes of the property at a gain.
