The pumping cost for delivering water from the Ohio River to Wheeling Steel for cooling hot rolled steel was $1.8 million for th
e first 4 years. An effective energy conservation program resulted in a reduced cost of $1.77 million in year 5, and $1.74 million in year 6, and amounts decreasing by $30,000 each year through year 10. What is the present worth of the pumping costs in year 0 at an interest rate of 6% per year
a) I used an excel spreadsheet since there is not enough room here.
b) Net income = $8,950
Cash flows form operating activities =
Net income $8,950
Adjustments to net income:
Increase in account payable <u> $250</u>
Net cash from operating activities $9,850
Net income is lower because a company must record revenues and expenses when they happen, not when they are associated with cash flows. This is why a company that makes all credit sales might have a large profit, but a small amount of cash (the opposite of this situation).
Since the actual performance of the separate account is actually higher than the assumed interest by 1 %, this means that K will be paid 1% more on the value of his/her annuity account.
Explanation:
An annuity account is a policy holder's investment account where the insurance company invests on behalf of the annuitant. The insurance company determine an assumed interest rate that will cover for the insurance company costs and the profit margin that will be paid to the annuitant periodically.
Annuity interest help investors plan for retirement income since the annuitant knows how much they expect to receive upon maturity of the policy. Knowing how to calculate the value of an annuity can also help investors to consider other investment options.
An assumed interest rate that is determined by the insurance company. This is the value of the annuity account and the annuitant should not be paid below the value of this rate. The actual interest rate is the actual performance of the investment in the market. If this rate increases, then the value of payment to be made to the annuitant also increases.
In our case, the actual performance of the separate account is actually higher than the assumed interest by 1 % this means that K will be paid 1% more on the value of his/her annuity account.
