Answer:
101,288
Explanation:
We can calculate the present value of each cash flow by dividing it by the rate of return along with the power of each period in which each cash flow occurs.
Requirement a: Timeline that represents the cash flows involved in the offer
year 1 - 30,000
year 2- 25000
year 3 - 15000
year 4 -15000
year5 -15000
year6 -15000
year 7-15000
year8 -15000
year9 -15000
Requirement b: If Harte applies a required rate of return of 12% to them
Present Value
year 1 - 30,000 /1.12 26,786
year 2- 25000 /(1.12)^2 19,930
year 3 - 15000 /(1.12)^3 10,677
year 4 -15000 /(1.12)^4 9,533
year5 -15000 /(1.12)^5 8,511
year6 -15000 /(1.12)^6 7,599
year 7-15000/(1.12)^7 6,785
year8 -15000 /(1.12)^8 6,058
year9 -15000/(1.12)^9 5,409
101,288
Requirement C:
It should accept the second offer of paying $100,000 as the first offer payment (i.e $101288.5) is greater than $100000
