Answer:
$10,904.84
Explanation:
According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follow:-
Year Deposit amount ($) At 9% for 3 years Future value of deposits ($)
1 $1,500 (1.09)^3 = 1.295029 $1,942.54
2 $3,000 (1.09)^2 = 1.1881 $3,564.3
3 $2,200 (1.09)^1 = 1.09 $2,398
4 $3,000 1 $3,000
Total $10,904.84
Future value = cash flow × (1 + interest rate)^number of years
When the amount of $10,904.84 is available, I buy the car.
Answer:
The NPV = $1578.185602 rounded off to $1578.19
As the NPV is positive, the project should be accepted.
Explanation:
The Net Present Value or NPV is a tool used to evaluate projects. It is used with various other tools to decide whether to undertake a project or not. To calculate the Net Present Value or NPV, we take the present value of the cash inflows provided by the project and deduct the initial cost of the project. If the NPV is positive, we should proceed with the project and vice versa.
NPV = CF1 / (1+r) + CF2 / (1+r)^2 + ... + CFn / (1+r)^n - Initial Cost
Where,
- CF1, CF2, ... represents cash flow in Year 1, Year 2 and so on.
- r is the required rate of return
NPV = 3200 / (1+0.17) + 3200 (1+0.17)^2 + 3200 (1+0.17)^3 +
3200 (1+0.17)^4 + 5700 (1+0.17)^5 - 9800
NPV = $1578.185602 rounded off to $1578.19
Answer:
0.079
Explanation:
Price elasticity of demand using midpoint formula can be calculated as follows
Formula
Elasticity of demand = (change in quantity/average quantity)/(change in price/average price)
Calculation
Elasticity of demand = (600/10,900)/(-2.1/3.05)
Elasticity of demand =-0.055 / -0.688
Elasticity of demand =-0.079
working
Change in price (2-4.1) = -2.1
Average price (2+4.1)/2=3.05
Change in quantity (11,200-10600) = 600
average quantity (11,200+10,600)/2 = 10,900
The elasticity of demand is inelastic as the elasticity is below 1.
