mafiozo [28]

Answer:

b. $150

Explanation:

Standard deduction refers to deduction available to an individual at a flat rate say 30%.Whereas in itemized deductions, an individual can claim deductions at different rates on different items.

Usually itemized deductions are more beneficial to an individual and in case tax saving in these cases exceeds total standard deductions, itemized deductions should be preferred.

In the given case, contribution of $1000 to church shall amount to a deduction. Since the tax rate applicable to the individual is 15%, the savings in tax shall amount to 15% of $1000 i.e $150.

What is the present value of the future cash flows, if you also could earn $110,000 per year rent on the property? The rent is p

dem82 [27]

Answer:

a. The present value of the sales price is $1.657 million.

b. No. This is because an investment in the property will result in a negative net present value (NPV) of $0.443 million.

c-1. The present value of the future cash flows is $2.122 million.

c-2. Yes. Yes. This is because an investment in the property will result in a positive net present value (NPV) of $0.022 million.

Explanation:

Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore presented before answering the question as follows:

You can buy property today for $2.1 million and sell it in 6 years for $3.1 million. (You earn no rental income on the property.)

a. If the interest rate is 11%, what is the present value of the sales price? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer in millions rounded to 3 decimal places.)

b. Is the property investment attractive to you?

c-1. What is the present value of the future cash flows, if you also could earn $110,000 per year rent on the property? The rent is paid at the end of each year. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer in millions rounded to 3 decimal places.)

c-2. Is the property investment attractive to you now?

The explanation to the answers is now provided as follows:

a. If the interest rate is 11%, what is the present value of the sales price? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer in millions rounded to 3 decimal places.)

The present value of the sales price can be calculated using the simple present value formula as follows:

PV = FV / (1 + r)^n ……………………….. (1)

Where;

PV = Present value of the sales price = ?

FV = Future value or the sales price in 6 years = $3.1 million

r = interest rate = 11%, or 0.11

n = number of years = 6

Substitute the values into equation (1), we have:

PV = $3.1 / (1 + 0.11)^6

PV = $3.1 / 1.11^6

PV = $3.1 / 1.870414552161

PV = $1.65738659187525 million

Rounding to 3 decimal places, we have:

PV = $1.657 million

Therefore, the present value of the sales price is $1.657 million.

b. Is the property investment attractive to you?

No. This is because an investment in the property will result in a negative net present value (NPV) of $0.443 million.

The negative net present value (NPV) of $0.443 million is determined as follows:

NPV = Present value of the sales price - Acquisition cost = $1.657 million - $2.1 million = -$0.443 million

c-1. What is the present value of the future cash flows, if you also could earn $110,000 per year rent on the property? The rent is paid at the end of each year. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer in millions rounded to 3 decimal places.)

The present value of the future cash flows can be calculated using the following steps:

<u>Step 1: Calculation of the present value of the $110,000 per year rent</u>

Since the rent is paid at end of each year, this can be calculated using the formula for calculating the present value of an ordinary annuity as follows:

PVR = P * ((1 - (1 / (1 + r))^n) / r) …………………………………. (2)

Where;

PVR = Present value of yearly rent = ?

P = Annual rent =$110,000

r = interest rate = 11%, or 0.11

n = number of years = 6

Substitute the values into equation (2) to have:

PVR = $110,000 * ((1 - (1 / (1 + 0.11))^6) / 0.11)

PVR = $110,000 * 4.23053785373826

PVR = $465,359.163911209

Converting to million and rounded to 3 decimal places, we have:

PVR = $0.465 million

<u>Step 2: Calculation of the present value of the future cash flows</u>

Present value of future cash flows = Present value sales price + Present value of annual rent ……. (3)

Where;

Present value sales price = $1.657 million, as already calculate in part a above

Present value of annual rent = PVR = $0.465 million

Substituting the values into equation (3), we have:

Present value of future cash flows = $1.657 million + $0.465 million = $2.122 million

Therefore, the present value of the future cash flows is $2.122 million.

c-2. Is the property investment attractive to you now?

Yes. This is because an investment in the property will result in a positive net present value (NPV) of $0.022 million.

The positive net present value (NPV) of $0.022 million is determined as follows:

NPV = Present value of tof the future cash flows - Acquisition cost = $2.122 million - $2.1 million = 0.0219999999999998 million

Converting to million and rounded to 3 decimal places, we have:

NPV = $0.022 million

If you invest 50 percent of your funds in a stock with beta=1.5, 30 percent in a stock with beta=0.9 and 20 percent in a stock w

Ratling [72]

Answer:

1.08

Explanation:

The computation of the portfolio beta is shown below:

Portfolio beta is

= Invested stock percentage × beta of the stock + Invested stock percentage × beta of the stock + Invested stock percentage × beta of the stock

= 0.50 × 1.50 + 0.30 × 0.90 + 0.20 × 0.30

= 1.08

We simply applied the above formula so that the portfolio beta could come and the same is to be considered

Burkhardt corp. pays a constant $13.50 dividend on its stock. the company will maintain this dividend for the next eight years a

kogti [31]

Answer: Burkhardt Corp.'s current share price is $69.47.

The current share price of a stock can be viewed as the present value of its expected dividends.

In this case, the stock price will be the sum of the discounted value of the dividends over each of the next eight years.

Mathematically we can express this as:

$\mathbf{Current Price = \frac{D}{(1+r)^{1}}+\frac{D}{(1+r)^{2}}+\frac{D}{(1+r)^{3}}......+\frac{D}{(1+r)^{n}}}$

Substituting the values we get,

$Current Price = \frac{13.5}{1.11^1}+\frac{13.5}{1.11^2}+\frac{13.5}{1.11^3}+\frac{13.5}{1.11^4}+\frac{13.5}{1.11^5}+\frac{13.5}{1.11^6}+\frac{13.5}{1.11^7}+\frac{13.5}{1.11^8}$

Solving the above equation we get,

$\mathbf{Current Price = 69.47}$
