Assume that Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. has decided to surface and maintain for 10 years a vacant lot next to one of its stores to ser

ve as a parking lot for customers. Management is considering the following bids involving two different qualities of surfacing for a parking area of 12,000 square yards.
Bid A: A surface that costs $5.75 per square yard to install. This surface will have to be replaced at the end of 5 years. The annual maintenance cost on this surface is estimated at 25 cents per square yard for each year except the last year of its service. The replacement surface will be similar to the initial surface.
Bid B: A surface that costs $10.50 per square yard to install. This surface has a probable useful life of 10 years and will require annual maintenance in each year except the last year, at an estimated cost of 9 cents per square yard.

Required:
Prepare computations showing which bid should be accepted by Wal-Mart. You may assume that the cost of capital is 9%, that the annual maintenance expenditures are incurred at the end of each year, and that prices are not expected to change during the next 10 years.

Answer:

Bid A should be accepted

Explanation:

Bid A:

initial investment = $5.75 x 12,000 = -$69,000

cash flows years 1 - 4 = $0.25 x 12,000 = -$3,000

cash flow year 5 = -$69,000

cash flows years 6 - 9 = $0.25 x 12,000 = -$3,000

NPV using a 9% discount rate = -$129,881.21

Bid B:

initial investment = $10.50 x 12,000 = -$126,000

cash flows years 1 - 9 = $0.09 x 12,000 = -$1,080

NPV using a 9% discount rate = -$132,474.87

Anthony and Michelle Constantino just got married and received ​$29,000 in cash gifts for their wedding. How much will they have
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

Future value will be larger with smaller compounding period; $373.4 more would be earned with shorter compounding period.

Explanation:

Given:

Amount to be invested = 29,000÷2 = $14,500

Duration if amount invested = 25 years

Rate = 4% or 0.04 compounded annually

Value of investment at the end of 25 years = 14,500\times(1+0.04)^{25}

                                                                         = $38,654.63

Future value if compounded annually is $38,654.63

Future value if semi-compounded annually:

Duration = 25×2 = 50 periods

Rate = 0.04÷2 = 0.02

Value of investment at the end of = 14,500\times(1+0.02)^{50}

                                                                         = $39,028.03

Future value if semi-compounded annually is $39,028.03

As such, future value is larger if compounding period was 6 months.

They would have earned $373.40 more that is (39,028.03 - 38,654.63), with shorter period.

Miller Corporation issued 6000 shares of its​ $5 par value common stock in payment for attorney services billed at​ $54,000. Mil
Deffense [45]

Answer:Share premium account of $24,000

The provider of attorney services of $30,000

Explanation:

On provision of services, the Attorney services expenses account is debited with $54,000 and the attorney services provider account credited with $54,000

Furthermore a share account is opened for the provider and credited with $30,000 , the share premium is credited $24,000 and a debit transfer is made to his liability account initially credited.

The $24,000 credit to share premium represents the difference between the nominal value of the share of $5 and the market value of $9 multiply by the 30,000 shares he was paid with.

Also a memorandum will be issued to state that 6000 share has been transferred from Miller to the attorney services provider and the shares will be delited from his name and entered in the name of the services provider because the credit of shares to his account does not represents new shares issued but it's the transfer of Miller's shares to him.
