Answer:

The correct answer is option (d).

Explanation:

According to the scenario, the given data are as follows:

Truck cost = $20,000

Net income from truck = $4,000

If work somewhere else, Net income = $3,000

If he work some where else he save $20,000.

If the interest rate is 5%, then,

Interest amount = 5% × $20,000 = $1,000

So, it means, if the interest rate is 5%, and he work some where else than his net income = $3,000 + $1,000 = $4,000.

So, If the real interest is less than 5% only than purchasing a truck is the right option.

Hence, purchase the truck if the real interest rate is less than 5% is correct.

Ray Of Light [21]

Answer: B) A loss of $200,000 on its income statement in the year the bonds are called.

Explanation:

The bonds were issued at Par. This means they were issued at 100 of par.

The bonds are now trading at 104 of par.

If Sand Inc calls the bonds then they will make a profit (loss) of,

= 5,000,000 * 104/100

= $5,200,000

Therefore their Profit (loss) will be the bond at par minus the Calling price

= 5,000,000 - 5,200,000

= -$200,000

That means they make a loss of $200,000 in the year the bonds are called.

If you need any clarification do react or comment.

Chandler Tire Co. is trying to decide which one of two projects it should accept. Both projects have the same start-up costs. Pr
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

The second project should be chosen. Because the present value of the second project is greater than that of the first project.

Explanation:

The project that should be chosen can be determined by comparing the present value of both projects.

Present value is the cash flows from a project discounted at the discount rate.

Present value can be found using a financial calculator;

For project 1,

Cash flow each year from year one to six is  $52,000

Discount rate = 15%

Present value =$196,793.10

For project 2,

Cash flow each year from year one to eight is  $48,000

Discount rate = 15%

Present value =$215,391.43

The second project would be chosen because its present value is greater than that of the first project.

I hope my answer helps you
