Illusion [34]

Answer:

$12,146

Explanation:

The computation of present value of this opportunity cost is shown below:-

Net After tax Operating Profit Per month = Rent space per month × Profit margin on the renting the space percentage

= $1,000 × 30%

= $300

Project is for 4 Years

Total months = 4 × 12

= 48 Months

Interest Rate Per month = 9% ÷ 12

= 0.75%

As per the question the Rent is Received at the start of the month

So Present Value of this opportunity cost = $300 (1 + PVAF (0.75%,47))

= $300 × ( 1 + 39.486)

= $12,145.85

= $12,146

3) 1 year

Raking 18% interest rate:

1) 1 year

2) 5 years

3) 10 years

Explanation:

You have to apply to bring the amount of money to present value, according with the information, the formula is the next:

Present Value = Future Value/((1+ interest rate)^(n))

Where n is the number of years that you have to wait to receive the money.

You have to calculate every situation with the respective amount of time and interest rate, the result must be money. and when you get the 9 results, you have to compare every situation and chose the higher amount of money according to the interest rate, for example:

Present value = 140/ ((1+10%)^(1))= 127

= 140/ ((1+10%)^(5))= 149

= 140/ ((1+10%)^(5))= 135

So the answer for the first scenario with an interest rate of 10% is:

Ginny Trueblood is considering an investment which will cost her $120,000. The investment produces no cash flows for the first y

velikii [3]

Answer:

The project should be rejected as the payback period of 3.97 years exceeds the required 3 years. So, the correct option is E

Explanation:

The table showing the discounted cash flows of each year:

Computing discounted payback as:

Discounted Payback = Number of years + (Initial Cost - Discounted Cash flow of year 1 + Discounted Cash flow of year 2 + Discounted Cash flow of year 3 / Discounted Cash flow of year 4)

= 3 + ($120,000 - $0 - $28,925.62 - $41,322.31 / $51,226.01)

= 3 + ($49,752.07 / $51,226.01)

= 3 + 0.97

= 3.97

Working Note:

Discounted Cash Flow is computed as:

Discounted cash flow = Cash Flow / (1 + r) ^ n

where

r is rate of return that is 10%

n is number of year

So,

For 1st year:

= $0 / (1 + 0.1) ^1

= $0

For 2nd year:

= $35,000 / (1 + 0.1) ^ 2

= $35,000 / 1.21

= $28,925.61

For 3rd year:

= $55,000 / (1 + 0.1) ^ 3

= $55,000 / 1.331

= $41,322.31

For 4th year:

= $75,000 / (1 + 0.1) ^ 4

= $75,000 / 1.4641

= $51,226.01
