Answer: He should decline production of the machine.
Explanation:
Analyzing the problem, we can determine if he should proceed or not by calculating the Net present value. That is present value of the machine in terms of perpetuity as it will be used forever and the cost incurred in its production.
Given the following ;
To manufacture $200 = 1 year, meaning
Amount or yearly payment = $200
Cost of machine = $2,000
Interest rate(r) = 11.5% = 0.115
Recall;
Present the value if perpetuity ;
(Payment per period ÷ rate)
= $200 ÷ 0.115 = $1739.13
Net present value = $1,739.13 - $2000 = - 260.87
Given the negative value of NPV, the cost outweighs the benefit, hence, he should decline.
Answer:
b. 5.0%
Explanation:
For this question, we use the Capital Asset Pricing model (CAPM) formula that is shown below:
Expected rate of return = Risk-free rate of return + Beta × (Market rate of return - Risk-free rate of return)
where,
The Market rate of return - Risk-free rate of return) is also known as the market risk premium
So, for stock A, the market risk premium is
10% = 5% + 1.0 × market risk premium
10 - 5% = 1.0 × market risk premium
5% ÷ 1.0 = market risk premium
So, the market risk premium is 5.0%
Answer:651.73
Explanation:
1,000s20|0.07+Xs10|0.07= 50,000. Therefore,X=50,000-1,000s20|s10|=50,000-40,995.4313.81643= 651.73
Answer:
Explanation:
The interest expense would be
= Borrowing amount × annual rate of interest
= $80,000 × 8%
= $6,400
And, the principal would be
= Annual payment - interest expense
= $20,037 - $6,400
= $13,637
The principal balance on January 1, 2019 would be
= Borrowed amount - principal repaid amount
= $80,000 - $13,637
= $66,363
The interest expense would be
= Borrowing amount of 2019 × annual rate of interest
= $66,363 × 8%
= $5,309
And, the principal would be
= Annual payment - interest expense
= $20,037 - $5,309
= $14,728
