Answer:
Instructions are listed below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
The proposed deal calls for the hardware chain to pay Harte $30,000 and $25,000 at the end of years 1 and 2 and to make an annual year-end payments of $15,000 in years 3 through 9. The final payment to Harte of $10,000 would be due at the end of year 10.
1)
Cash flows:
Year 1= 30,000
Year 2= 25,000
Year 3= 15,000
Year 4= 15,000
Year 5= 15,000
Year 6= 15,000
Year 7= 15,000
Year 8= 15,000
Year 9= 15,000
Year 10= 10,000
2) To calculate the present value we need to use the following formula for each cash flow:
PV= FV/(1+i)^n
Year 1= 30,000/1.12= 26,785.71
Year 2= 25,000/1.12= 22,321.43
Year 3= 15,000/1.12= 13,392.86
....
Year 10= 10,000/1.12^10= 3,219.73
PV= $104,508.27
3) The present value of cash inflows is higher than $100,000. It is more convenient to decline the $100,000.
