Nadine Chelesvig has patented her invention. She is offering a patent manufacturer two contracts for the exclusive right to manu

facture and market her product. Plan A calls for an immediate single lump payment to her of $35,000. Plan B calls for an annual payment of $1,200 plus a royalty of $0.40 per unit sold. The remaining life of the patent is 10 years. Nadine uses a MARR of 7 %/year.
a. What must be the uniform annual sales volume of the product for Nadine to be indifferent between the contracts, based on a present worth analysis?
b. If the sales volume is below the volume determined in (a), which contract would the manufacturer prefer?

Answer:

A) 9458 units

B) She would prefer the one with the single lump payment of $35,000 because the present value of the other one would increase with an increase in the units sold.

Explanation:

A) To calculate the uniform annual sales volume based on a present worth analysis, we will make use of the formula for present value of annuity.

Thus;

P = PMT × (1 - ((1/(1 - rⁿ))/r

From the question, we are given;

P = $35,000

PMT = (1200 + 0.4x)

r = 7% = 0.07

n = 10

Thus, Plugging in the relevant values, we have;

(1200 + 0.4x)((1 - (1/(1 + 0.07)^10))/0.07 = 35000

This gives;

(1200 + 0.4x) × 7.0236 = 35000

(1200 + 0.4x) = 35000/7.0236

(1200 + 0.4x) = 4983.2

0.4x = 4983.2 - 1200

0.4x = 3783.2

x = 3783.2/0.4

x = 9458 units

B) She would prefer the one with the single lump payment of $35,000 because the present value of the other one would increase with an increase in the units sold.

Which of the following is NOT a valid method of modifying cash flows to produce a​ MIRR? A. Turn multiple negative cash flows in
faltersainse [42]

Answer: the correct answer is A. Turn multiple negative cash flows into a single negative cash flow by summing all negative cash flows over the​ project's lifetime.

Explanation: MIRR stands for Modified Internal rate of return. If you add up all negative cash flows in just one  you are not taking into account a very important variable which is "time". It is not the same if you have a negative cash flow in 2 years than in 5 years.

Answer:

$1,088.12

Explanation:

The formula for calculating monthly repayments is as below.

M=  P x   <u>  r      </u>

              1 − (1+r)−^n

where p is the loan amount = $220,000

r = 4.3per cent or 0.043 % interest rate per year,

 on monthly basis r will be 0.043/12=0.00358%

n = 30 year, which is 30 x 12 months= 360 months

M= $220,000 x <u> 0.00358    </u>

                         1 - (1+0.00358 ) ^ - 360

M=$220,000 x<u>  0.00358  </u>

                         1- 0.2762

M = $220,000 x (0.00358 /0.7238)

M = $220,000 x 0.0049461

M = 1,088.12

Monthly payments will be $1,088.12
