Answer:

$462

Explanation:

The computation of the net present value is shown below:

= Present value of all year cash inflows by considering the salvage value - initial investment

where,

Present value of all year cash inflows by considering the salvage value is

= Annual cash flows × PVIFA factor for 4 years at 15% + Salvage value × discount rate at 4 year on 15%

= $54,000 × 2.855 + $11,000 × 0.572

= $154,170 + $6,292

= $160,462

And, the initial investment is $160,000

So, the net present value is

= $160,462 - $160,000

= $462

We simply applied the above formula to determine the net present value

Refer to the PVIFA table and discount factor table

This is the answer but the same is provided in the given option

Answer:

Following are the solution to this question:

Explanation:

Assume that $r_1$ will be a 12-month for the spot rate:

$\to 1.25 \% \times \frac{100}{2} \times 0.99 + \frac{(1.25\% \times \frac{100}{2}+100)}{(1+\frac{r_1}{2})^2}=98\\\\\to \frac{1.25}{100} \times \frac{100}{2} \times 0.99 + \frac{(\frac{1.25}{100} \times \frac{100}{2}+100)}{(1+\frac{r_1}{2})^2}=98\\\\\to \frac{1.25}{2} \times 0.99 + \frac{(\frac{1.25}{2} +100)}{(1+\frac{r_1}{2})^2}=98\\\\\to 0.61875 + \frac{( 0.625 +100)}{(\frac{2+r_1}{2})^2}=98\\\\\to 0.61875 + \frac{( 100.625)}{(\frac{2+r_1}{2})^2}=98\\\\\to 0.61875 + \frac{402.5}{(2+r_1)^2}=98\\\\$

$\to 0.61875 + \frac{402.5}{(2+r_1)^2}=98\\\\\to 0.61875 -98 = \frac{402.5}{(2+r_1)^2}\\\\\to -97.38125= \frac{402.5}{(2+r_1)^2}\\\\\to (2+r_1)^2= \frac{402.5}{ -97.38125}\\\\\to (2+r_1)^2= -4.13\\\\ \to r_1=3.304\%$

Assume that $r_2$ will be a 18-month for the spot rate:

$\to 1.5\% \times \frac{100}{2} \times 0.99+1.5\% \times \frac{100}{2} \times \frac{1}{(1+ \frac{3.300\%}{2})^2}+\frac{(1.5\% \times \frac{100}{2}+100)}{(1+\frac{r_2}{2})^3}=97\\\\\to \frac{1.5}{100} \times \frac{100}{2} \times 0.99+\frac{1.5}{100} \times \frac{100}{2} \times \frac{1}{(1+ \frac{\frac{3.300}{100}}{2})^2}+\frac{(\frac{1.5}{100} \times \frac{100}{2}+100)}{(1+\frac{r_2}{2})^3}=97\\\\$

$\to \frac{1.5}{2} \times 0.99+\frac{1.5}{2}\times \frac{1}{(1+ \frac{\frac{3.300}{100}}{2})^2}+\frac{(\frac{1.5}{2} +100)}{(1+\frac{r_2}{2})^3}=97\\\\\to 0.7425+0.75 \times \frac{1}{(1+ \frac{\frac{3.300}{100}}{2})^2}+\frac{(0.75 +100)}{(1+\frac{r_2}{2})^3}=97\\\\\to 1.4925 \times \frac{1}{(1+0.0165)^2}+\frac{(100.75 )}{(1+\frac{r_2}{2})^3}=97\\\\\to 1.4925 \times \frac{1}{(1.033)}+\frac{(100.75 )}{(1+\frac{r_2}{2})^3}=97\\\\$

$\to 1.4925 \times 0.96+\frac{(100.75 )}{(1+\frac{r_2}{2})^3}=97\\\\\to 1.4328+\frac{(100.75 )}{(1+\frac{r_2}{2})^3}=97\\\\\to 1.4328-97= \frac{(100.75 )}{(1+\frac{r_2}{2})^3}\\\\\to -95.5672= \frac{(100.75 )}{(1+\frac{r_2}{2})^3}\\\\\to (1+\frac{r_2}{2})^3= -1.054\\\\\to r_2=3.577\%$

Assume that $r_3$ will be a 18-month for the spot rate:

$\to 1.25\% \times \frac{100}{2} \times 0.99+1.25\% \times \frac{100}{2} \times \frac{1}{(1+\frac{3.300\%}{2})^2}+1.25\%\times\frac{100}{2} \times \frac{1}{(1+\frac{3.577\%}{2})^3}+(1.25\% \times \frac{\frac{100}{2}+100}{(1+\frac{r_3}{2})^4})=96\\\\$

to solve this we get $r_3=3.335\%$

Alternative A would involve substantial fixed but relatively low variable costs: fixed costs would be $250,000 per year, and var

stepladder [879]

Answer:

From zero to 33 boats option B would be best

Explanation:

Assuming the first alternative (A)is 250,000 fixed and 500 per boat

second (B) 2,500 cost per boat

and third (C) 50,000 fixed and 1,000 cost per boat

We want' to know at which level B would be the best option

we want to know when alternative C or A have a cost of 2,500 or lower:

$500 + \frac{250,000}{Q} = 2,500$

$\frac{250,000}{2,500 - 500} = Q$

Q = 125

From this point, as fixed cost will be distribute among more units, the cost will decrease meaking C better than B

$1,000 + \frac{50,000}{Q} = 2,500$

$\frac{50,000}{2,500 - 1,000} = Q$

Q = 33.33

From this point, as fixed cost will be distribute among more units, the cost will decrease meaking A better than B

From zero to 33 boats option B would be the best of the three options

BSW Corporation has a bond issue outstanding with an annual coupon rate of 7 percent paid quarterly and four years remaining unt

Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

$788.35

Explanation:

For computing the fair present value we need to apply the present value formula which is to be shown in the attachment below:

Given that,

Future value = $1,000

Rate of interest = 14% ÷ 4 = 3.5%

NPER = 4 years × 4 = 16 years

PMT = $1,000 × 7% ÷ 4 = $17.5

The formula is shown below:

= -PV(Rate;NPER;PMT;FV;type)

So, after applying the formula, the fair present value is $788.35
