A manufacturer is considering replacing a production machine tool. The new machine would cost $3700, have a life of four years,

have no salvage value, and save the firm $500 per year in direct labor cost and $200 per year indirect labor costs. The existing machine tool was purchased four years ago at a cost of $4000. It will last four more years and have no salvage value at the end of that time. It could be sold now for $1000 cash. Assume money is worth 8%, and that the difference in taxes, insurance, and so forth, for the two alternatives is negligible. Determine whether or not the new machine should be purchased

Answer:

The new machine should not be purchased.

Explanation:

initial outlay = -$3,700 + $1,000 = -$2,700

cash flow years 1-4 = $700

discount rae = 8%

Using a financial calculator, the NPV = -$381.51

Since the NPV is negative, the new machine should not be purchased.

Which of the following statements regarding perpetuities is​ FALSE? A. A perpetuity is a stream of equal cash flows that occurs
Xelga [282]

Answer:

The answer is: C) PV of a perpetuity​ = StartFraction r Over Upper C EndFraction (I guess this means PV = r / C, which is FALSE)

Explanation:

The formula for calculating the present value of a perpetuity is:

                        PV = C / r

Where PV = Present Value, C = cash flow, r = discount rate.

A perpetuity is a stream of equal cash flows that lasts forever (perpetually).

The formula for calculating the present value of a perpetuity is simple, so there is no reason to spend time calculating the present value of each cash flow, since there are infinite cash flows.

A consol bond s a type of perpetuity issued by the British government (also by the US government)

Absent government regulations to guard against​ fraud, why might top managers deceive investors about the true financial condi
Inessa [10]

Answer:

The correct answer to why top managers might want to deceive investors about the true financial condition of their firm is option E) all of the above

Explanation:

The aim of management is to ensure that the company is profitable in order to increase its value and investment worthiness.

However, sometimes, they fall short due to internal and external factors that reduce profitability and increase liabilities. When this occur, the account books will show the unfavorable numbers. A deficit situation reflects negatively on the stock price and when shareholders are not getting a good return on their investment, they usually liquidate their shares and invest elsewhere.

To avoid that from happening, Top Managers usually hide liabilities that should be listed on the balance sheet to keep the firm's stock price up, inflate profits to enhance compensation tied to the firms profitability to reduce cost of expensive external audits.
