An airline is considering a project of replacement and upgrading of machinery that would improve efficiency. The new machinery c

osts $350 today and is expected to last for 5 years with no salvage value. Straight line depreciation will be used. Project inflows connected with the new machinery will begin in one year and are expected to be $300 each year for 5 years and project outflows will also begin in one year and are expected to be $135 each year for 5 years. The corporate tax rate is 36% and the required rate of return is 8%. Calculate the project's net present value.

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

Answer:  $678,220

Explanation:

Given that,

Purchase Discounts = $ 11,000

Freight-in = $15,300

Purchases = $689,020

Beginning Inventory = $55,000

Ending Inventory = $45,600

Purchase Returns and Allowances = $15,100

Cost of goods purchased:

= Purchases + Freight in - Purchase discounts - Purchase returns and allowances

= $689,020  + $15,300  - $ 11,000  -  $15,100

= $678,220

A purchase of equipment for $18,000 also involved freight charges of $500 and installation costs of $2,500. The estimated salvag
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

$4,750

Explanation:

The computation of the depreciation expense is shown below:

= (Original cost - residual value) ÷ (useful life)

where,

Original cost = $18,000 + $500 + $2,500 = $21,000

And, the other items would remain same

Now put these values to the above formula

So, the value would be equal to

= ($21,000 - $2,000) ÷ (4 years)

= ($19,000) ÷ (4 years)  

= $4,750

Imagine that you invest $100,000 in an account that pays 5.9% annual interest compounded monthly. What will your balance be at t
kodGreya [7K]
The compound interest formula is: A= P(1+ \frac{r}{n} ) ^{nt}
Where:
A is the amount you will have.
P is the money you are investing.
r: is the interest rate (in decimals)
n: number of times the interest is compounded per year
t: time (in years)

The first thing is converting the rate from percentage to decimal: 
\frac{5.9}{100} = 0.059

Since the interest is compounded every month and a year has 12 months n=12.

Now we can replace the values in our formula:
A=100000(1+ \frac{0.059}{12} ) ^{(12)(18)}

We can simplify the exponents to get:
A=100000(1+ \frac{0.059}{12} ) ^{216}

Finally, we can use our calculator to get 288463.33

After 18 your balance in your bank account will be $288463.33

You want to be a millionaire when you retire in 40 years. a. How much do you have to save each month if you can earn an annual r
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

The answers are:

a. 1866.79

b. 2489.05

c. 3733.57

Explanation:

a. Let us begin by calculating the total amount to be saved each year.

Let the total amount to be saved each year be "m"

annual return = 11.6% of m = 11.6 ÷ 100 = 0.116 of m

Therefore to be a millionaire in 40 years, the total amount saved for the year + the annual return on that amount when multiplied by 40 will yield 1 million. It is represented thus:

(0.116m + m) × 40 = 1,000,000

= (1.116m) × 40 = 1,000,000

44.64m = 1,000,000

∴ m = 1,000,000 ÷ 44.64 = 22401.433691756

therefore amount to be saved for a year = 22401.433691756

to calculate amount to be saved each month we divide this amount by 12, because 12 calendar months make one year. Hence;

amount to be saved each month = 22401.433691756 ÷ 12 = 1866.79 (to 2 decimal places).

b. If you wait 10 years, then you have only 30 years left to save

since the annual return remains the same,

(0.116m + m) × 30 = 1,000,000

(1.116m) × 30 = 1,000,000

33.48m = 1,000,000

∴ m = 1,000,000 ÷ 33.48 = 29868.578255675 (amount to be saved for a year)

Therefore amount to be saved per month = 29868.578255675 ÷ 12 = 2489.05 ( to 2 decimal places)

c. If you wait 20 years before saving, you hve 20 years more to save.

Since the annual return remains the same;

(1.116m) × 20 = 1,000,000

22.32m = 1,000,000

m = 1,000,000 ÷ 22.32 = 44802.867383512 (yearly amount to be saved)

Therefore amount to be saved per month = 44802.867383512 ÷ 12 = 3733.57 ( to 2 decimal places).
