nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

Net Present Value = $1,762.95

Explanation:

Equal payments made at the end of each year implies that the cash inflows from year 1 to 7 form an annuity where:

PVof An Ordinary Annuity= \frac{PMT[1-(1+i)^{-n} ] }{i}

where PMT is the the equal payment cash inflow received at the end of each period  and

\frac{[1-(1+i)^{-n} ] }{i} = The present value of an annuity factor for n years at i%

The present value of an annuity factor for 7 years at 10% equals

\frac{[1-(1+0.1)^{-7} ] }{0.1}=4.8684

therefore: Net Present value of this investment given a 10% return o investments equals

-50,000+10,000*4.8684+\frac{6,000}{1.1^7}=1,762.95

A sales slip shows that $1,500 in merchandise has been sold and the sales tax rate is 4%. Generate the cash receipt's data.
Bingel [31]

Answer:

Cash receipt:

Particulars                      Amount

................................................................

Sales                              = $1,500

Sales tax @4.00 %        = $60

................................................................

Total                              =  $1,560

.................................................................

Explanation:

Data :

Merchandise cost in the sales slip = $1,500

sales tax rate for the merchandise = 4%

Now,

the cash receipt data will include the merchandise cost, the amount of tax and the total amount after including the tax

Thus,

The amount of tax on the merchandise = sales tax rate × Merchandise cost

or

The amount of tax on the merchandise = 0.04 × $1,500 = $60

Hence,

the total cost = cost of merchandise + the sales tax = $1,500 + $60 = $1,560

Cash receipt:

Particulars                      Amount

................................................................

Sales                              = $1,500

Sales tax @4.00 %        = $60

................................................................

Total                              =  $1,560

.................................................................
