osts $350 today and is expected to last for 5 years with no salvage value. Straight line depreciation will be used.

Answer:

$172.25

Explanation:

initial outlay for the project = -$350

cash flow years 1-5 = [($300 - $135 - $70) x (1 - 36%)] + $70 (depreciation expense) = $60.80 + $70 = $130.80

using an excel spreadsheet and the NPV function, we can calculate the project's NPV with an 8% discount rate:

=NPV(8%,130.80,130.80,130.80,130.80,130.80) - $350 = $522.25 - $350 = $172.25

we can also do it manually:

NPV = -$350 + $130.80/1.08 + $130.80/1.08² + $130.80/1.08³ + $130.80/1.08⁴ + $130.80/1.08⁵ = $172.25

A company has preferred stock with a current market price of $18 per share. The preferred stock pays an annual dividend of 4% ba
scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

Answer:

Dividend (D) = 4% x $100 = $4

Current market price (Po) = $18

Flotation cost (FC) = $1.50

Tax rate (T) = 40% = 0.40

Kp =   <u> D </u>

       Po-FC

Kp =   <u>  $4 </u>

        $18-$1.50

Kp = <u>$4 </u>

      $16.5

Kp = 0.24 = 24%

Explanation:

Cost of preferred stock equals dividend divided by the difference between current market price and flotation cost. Cost of preferred stock is not tax deductible.

10. Nancy White’s employer provides individual and family group health plan coverage, and it pays 80 percent of her annual premi
elena-s [515]

Answer:

$115.38

Explanation:

Since Nancy only has to pay 20% of her health insurance premium, her total biweekly deduction = $3,000 / 26 weeks = $115.38

Generally health insurance premiums are paid on a monthly basis, but lately some health care providers are starting to take quarterly, semiannual and even annual payments. The thing is that you always pay in advance, so generally people choose to pay it with their paychecks. It makes sense, since unless you earn a lot of money, a $3,000 payment would represent a large portion of your salary.

When is output level and supply inelastic? short run or long run
tia_tia [17]

Output and input levels always tend to an equilibrium point it the long run, meaning they are inelastic in the long run.

Elasticity refers to how much supply and/or demand changes with changes in pricing. The more elastic, the more change there is.

In the short-term, output and and supply can change dramatically, but in the long run things tend back to the middle (equilibrium).
