Answer:

a) $900 after 1 year

b) $810 after 2 years

Explanation:

This deals with the time value of money concept. This states that money is worth more today than the same amount is worth sometime in the future. The real purchasing power is the nominal purchasing power discounted back as per the prevailing inflation rate.

For a)

$1000 after one year will be worth 1000 * 0.9 = $900 or a reduction of $100 as 1000 today is worth only 900 after 1 year.

For b)

The inflation rate discounts real purchasing power year over year so after 2 years the real purchasing power will be as follows,

Real purchasing power = 900 * 0.90 = $810 which is discounted by 10% inflation for 2 years.

Hope that helps.

julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

a-The present value of revenue in the first year is $61,085.92.

b-The total time it would take to pay for its price is 2.44 years of 29.33 months.

Explanation:

a-

Let the function of the revenue earned is given as

S(t)=\left \{ {{66000t+38000} {\ \ 0The present value is given as [tex]PV=\int\limits^a_b {S(t)e^{-rt}} \, dt

Here

  • a and b are the limits of integral which are 0 and 1 respectively
  • r is the rate of interest which is 5% or 0.05
  • S(t) is the function of value which is S(t)=\left \{ {{66000t+38000} {\ \ 0So the equation becomes[tex]PV=\int\limits^0_1 {S(t)e^{-0.05t}} \, dt\\PV=\int\limits^{0.5}_0 {(66000t+38000)e^{-0.05t}} \, dt+\int\limits^{1}_{0.5}{(71000)e^{-0.05t}} \, dt\\PV=\int\limits^{0.5}_0 {(66000t)e^{-0.05t}} \, dt+\int\limits^{0.5}_0 {(38000)e^{-0.05t}} \, dt+\int\limits^{1}_{0.5}{(71000)e^{-0.05t}} \, dt\\PV=8113.7805+18764.4669+34207.6751\\PV=61085.9225

    So the present value of revenue in the first year is $61,085.92.

    b-

    The time in which the machine pays for itself is given as

    PV=\int\limits^0_1 {S(t)e^{-0.05t}} \, dt+\int\limits^t_1 {S(t)e^{-0.05t}} \, dt\\PV=61085.9225+\int\limits^{t}_{1}{(71000)e^{-0.05t}} \, dt

    The present value is set equal to the value of machine which is given as

    $160,000 so the equation becomes:

    PV=61085.9225+\int\limits^{t}_{0}{(71000)e^{-0.05t}} \, dt\\160000=61085.9225+\int\limits^{t}_{0}{(71000)e^{-0.05t}} \, dt\\\int\limits^{t}_{0}{(71000)e^{-0.05t}} \, dt=160000-61085.9225\\\int\limits^{t}_{1}{(71000)e^{-0.05t}} \, dt=98914.07\\\\t=-\dfrac{\ln \left(0.93034\right)}{0.05}\\t=1.44496

    So the total time it would take to pay for its price is 2.44 years of 29.33 months.

. Find the accumulated present value of a continuous income stream that earns 4.2% interest annually, when $4000 is deposited pe
Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

The accumulated present value is $67,518.99.

Explanation:

Investment opportunities that require a series of payments of a fixed amount for a specific number of periods are known as annuities.

The Present Value of this annuity can be calculated as :

Fv = $0

n = 30

r = 4.2 %

Pmt = - $4,000

P/ yr = 1

Pv = ?

Using a financial calculator, the  Present Value (PV) of the annuity is $67,518.9948 or $67,518.99.

Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

Option (B) If the market rate of interest is 10%, the bonds will issue at a discount

Explanation:

Interest rate risk is defined as the risk changing which, interest rates will affect bond prices. When current interest rates are greater than a bond's coupon rate, the bond will be sold below its face value at a discount. When interest rates are less than the coupon rate, the bond can be sold at a premium--higher than the face value.

Lady bird [3.3K]

Sohan invested Rs 80000 in the beginning of his firm. After six months, Mohan invested Rs. 65,000 to become a partner. Sohan put his money into investments for 12 months, while Mohan made investments for 6 months. They made a total profit of Rs. 20,000 after a year. The portion of Sohan in the profit that he made is 14222.

One way to assess a company's success is through its profit. Its simplest definition is the sum that remains after deducting all expenses from all revenues. The remaining funds, or your profits, can either be retained by the company and reinvested to fund future expansion, or they can be given as a draw or dividends to shareholders.
