The Z−90 project being considered by Steppingstone Incorporated (SI) has an up-front cost of $250,000. The project's subsequent

cash flows are critically dependent on whether another of its products, Z−45, becomes an industry standard. There is a 50% chance that the Z−45 will become the industry standard, in which case the Z−90's expected cash flows will be $110,000 at the end of each of the next 5 years. There is a 50% chance that the Z−45 will not become the industry standard, in which case the Z−90's expected cash flows will be $25,000 at the end of each of the next 5 years. Assume that the cost of capital is 12%. Refer to data for Steppingstone Incorporated. Based on the above information, what is the Z−90's expected net present value?

Answer:

The right solution is Option a (-$6,678).

Explanation:

Given that:

Up-front cost,

= $250,000

Expected cash flows,

= $110,000

Assuming cost of capital,

= 12%

Now,

The expected net present value will be:

= 250000+0.5\times (110000+25000)\times \frac{1}{12 \ percent}\times (1-\frac{1}{1.12^5} )

= 250000+0.5\times (135000)\times \frac{1}{12 \ percent}\times (1-\frac{1}{1.12^5} )

= -6,678 ($)

3. Total earnings = 9. Total deductions + 10. Net amount paid

= $159,000  +  271,000

= $430,000

8. Union dues = 9. Total deductions - other deductions from 4 to 7.

= $159,000 - (25,800 + 6,450 + 109,700 + 14,800)

= $2,250

12. Sales Salaries = 3. Total earnings - 11. Factory Wages - 13. Office Salaries)

= (430,000 - 227,900  -  86,000)

= $116,100

Lisa Richter deposited $5,000 at 4% compounded semiannually for three years. At the beginning of the fourth year, Lisa deposited
Contact [7]

Answer:

Answer is option (d) $8,424

Explanation:

The total amount Lisa Richter will receive after the end of the first 3 years can be expressed using the formula for calculating the total amount after 3 years with interest compounded semiannually is as follows;

A = P (1 + r/n)^(nt)

where;

A = the future value of the initial investment

P = initial investment amount/principal amount

r = the annual interest rate

n = the number of times that interest is compounded per unit t

t = the time the money is invested for

In our case;

P=$5,000

r=4/100=0.04

n=interest is compounded semiannually which is twice a year=2

t=3 years

Replacing values in the formula;

A=5,000(1+0.04/2)^(2×3)

A=5,000(1+0.02)^6

A=5,000(1.02)^6

A=$5,630.81

Total amount after the end of the first 3 years=$5,630.81

To calculate the total principal amount for the fourth year;

Total principal amount=Total amount after 3 years+Amount deposited at the beginning of the fourth year

where;

Total amount after 3 years=$5,630.81

Amount deposited at the beginning of the fourth year=$2500

replacing;

Total principal amount=(5,630.81+2500)=8,130.81

Using the formula;

A = P (1 + r/n)^(nt)

P=$8,130.81

r=4/100=0.04

n=compounded semiannually=2

t=1 year

replacing;

A=8,130.81(1+0.04/2)^(2×1)

A=8,130.81(1.02)^2

A=8,459.29

Option (d)  $8,424 is closer to 8,459.29, take answer as (d) $8,424
