What is the value today of receiving $5,000 at the end of six years, assuming an interest rate of 8% compounded semiannually?

Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

$3,122.96

Explanation:

Future value = 5000

i = 8%

n = 6

m = 2

Present Value = FV(1+i/m)^mn

Present Value = 5,000(1+0.08/2)^-2*6

Present Value = 5,000(1.04)^-12

Present Value = 5,000 / (1.04)^12

Present Value = 5,000 / 1.6010322

Present Value = 3122.985284118583

Present Value = $3,122.96

WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

Option A is the cheapest.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

The engineering department estimates costs of $450,000 for the first year. It is estimated that if process and plant alterations are made, the waste treatment cost will decline $43,000 each year. As an alternative, a specialized firm, Hydro-Clean, has offered a contract to process the waste liquids for 15 years for $225,000 per year.

We need to use the following formula and chose the smallest net present value:

NPV= Io +∑ [Cf/(1+i)^n]

Option A:

Io= 407,000

Year cost= 43,000

NPV= 734,061

Option B:

Yearly cost= 225,000

NPV= 1,936,368

If a finance lease contains a bargain purchase option, the lessee should amortize the leased asset: Multiple Choice Over the ter

Finger [1]

Answer:

Over the economic life of the asset.

Explanation:

An asset obtained under a financial lease must be depreciated in the same way as the company would depreciate any other similar fixed asset. E.g. a leased truck should be depreciated similarly to other trucks owned by the company.

In a financial lease, the lessor amortizes the asset's value, while the lessee depreciates the assets as common fixed assets (a lessee doesn't amortize).
