Answer:

$20,000

Explanation:

Present Value of Perpetuity = Annuity / ( Interest rate-Growth rate). Where Annuity=1000, Interest rate=5%, Growth rate=0

Present Value of Perpetuity = $1,000/(0.05-0)

Present Value of Perpetuity = $1,000/0.05

Present Value of Perpetuity = $20,000

So, the present) value of adopting the technology is $20,000.

Suppose 2 athletes sign 10-year contracts for $80 million. In one case, we're told that the $80 million will be paid in 10 equal
maxonik [38]

Answer:

player 2 is signing a better contract

Explanation:

the present value of an annuity (player 1) = annual payment x annuity factor

assuming that the interest rate is 10%

present value = $10 million x 6.1446 (PV annuity factor, 10%, 10 periods) = $61.446 million

player 2's contract

the present value of a growing annuity = [payment / (i - g)] x {1 - [(1 + g) / (1 + i)]ⁿ} = [$10 / (10% - 5%)] x {1 - [(1 + 5%) / (1 + 10%)]¹⁰} = $200 x 0.372 = $74.398 million

Kisachek [45]

Answer:

The Dakota Division's sales margin, capital turnover, and return on investment for the year is 7.40% , 4.60 times and 34% respectively

Explanation:

= 7.40%

2. For turnover:

Turnover = Sales ÷ Average invested capital

= $57,500,000 ÷ $12,500,000

= 4.60 times

3. For Return on investment:

Return on investment = Income ÷ Average invested capital × 100

= $4,250,000 ÷ $12,500,000  × 100
