Answer: Machine B because it has the lower Present Value
Explanation:
<h2>
Machine A</h2>
= Present Value of income - Present Value of Costs
Present value of Income;
Sold for $5,000 after 10 years.
= 5,000/ (1 + 8%)^10
= $2,315.97
Present Value of Costs;
Purchased for $48,000.
Maintenance of $1,000 per year for years.
Present value of maintenance= 1,000 * Present value factor of annuity, 10 years, 8%
= 1,000 * 6.7101
= $6,710.10
Machine A Present Value
= 2,315.97 - 6,710.10 - 48,000
= -$52,394
<h2>
Machine B</h2>
No salvage value.
Present Value of costs
Purchased for $40,000.
Present value of maintenance = (4,000 / (1 + 8%)^3) + (5,000 / ( 1 + 8)^6) + (6,000 / ( 1 + 8%)^8)
= -$9,567.79
Present Value = -40,000 - 9,567.79
= -$49,568
Answer:
The total of the combined salaries of all the employees at Company E after July 1 last year was 110% of that before July 1 last year.
Explanation:
If we use numbers, as example, we can get that:
Before July 1st Company E' s employes had in average salary of $100.000 (example).
If, after the decreased of employees, average salary was 10% percent more, that means that:
- $100.000 x 10%= <u>$10.000
</u>
So, total of combined salaries after decreased was
- $100.000+$10.000= $110.000
$110.000 is the 110% of the average salary before decreased because:
- <u>$110.000/100.000 = 110%</u>
8.35=8
Any decimal point below 5 is rounded down; above 5 is rounded up
Ex: 10.6=11
Hope this helps!
