melomori [17]

Calculation of equal amount to deposit each year to get the future amount:


It is given that a manufacturer of triaxial accelerometers wants to have $2,800,000 available 10 years from now. So we can say that Future value is $2,800,000. We are also given that the deposit rate is 6% per year.

In order to find out the equal amount to deposit each year we need to calculate the annuity using the future value of annuity formula as follows;

Annuity = Future value of annuity / FV of $1 annuity

FV of $1 annuity (at 6% rate for 10 years) is 13.18079


Hence,

Annuity =2,800,000 / 13.18079 = 212,430.36

Hence , equal amount to deposit each year is $212,430.36

Elis [28]

Answer:

Chester's Book Value would be $60,976,422 next year.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Equity = $57,976,422

Expected net income = $3,000,000

If no dividends are paid and no stock is issued, the expected net income will be equal to the Retained Earnings for the next period.

Therefore, the book value or equity value of Chester's balance sheet for the next year will be the addition of the net income of $3,000,000 to the equity balance of $57,976,422.

This will total $60,976,422 ($57,976,422 + $3,000,000).

b) Chester's book value is the net asset value and can be calculated as total assets minus liabilities.
