kogti [31]

The formula for exponential growth rate is:

A = Ao e^(k t)

where A is the final standard of living, Ao is the initial, k is the growth rate constant in decimal = 0.08, t is time elapsed

 

So we will find t at A/Ao = 2

A/Ao = e^(k t)

2 = e^( 0.08 t)

t = 8.66 ~ since more than therefore 9

 

So by the time they reached age 29

Which three things do creditors consider to be most important when judging a persons creditworthiness to buy a house or car?
iren2701 [21]
Creditors consider character, collateral and, capacity to be most important when judging a persons creditworthiness to buy a house or car. 

Character - who you are as a person, honest, true, based on reports you are able and make payments on time.

Capacity - you're ability to make the payments and understand how to.

Collateral - what you own that they could take in a form of "payment" if you don't repay your loan.

Vilas Company is considering a capital investment of $190,900 in additional production facilities. The new machinery is expected
makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

See below.

Explanation:

For payback period we use,

Payback = Initial outlay / Annual cash flow

Payback = 190,900/49,900 = 3.82 years

Annual rate of return is calculated as follows,

Annual rate of return = Average profit / Initial outlay *100%

Annual Rate of return = 11600/190,900) *100% = 6.08%

To calculate the NPV we discount the cash flows.

12% annuity factor for 5 years = 3.6048

PV of cash flows = 49,900*3.6048 = $179,879.52

NPV = 179879.52 - 190,900 = -$11,020.48  (negative)

Hope that helps.

Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

$64,474.20

Explanation:

As for the information provided,

discount rate = 7.25%

First payment will be made at the end of year 1

Discounting factor = \frac{1}{(1+0.0725)^1} = 0.9324

Thus, current value of payment = 28,000 \times 0.9324 = $26,107.20

Discounting factor for receipts =

Year 1 = \frac{1}{(1+0.0725)^1} = 0.9324 = $28,000 \times 0.9324 = 26,107.20

Year 2 = \frac{1}{(1+0.0725)^2} = 0.8694 = 35,000 \times 0.8694 = 30,429

Year 3 = \frac{1}{(1+ 0.0725)^3} = 0.8106 = 42,000 \times 0.8106 = 34,045.20

Therefore, value of contract today = - $26,107.20 + $26,107.20 + $30,429.0 + $34,045.20 = $64,474.20

Great Lakes Packing has two bond issues outstanding. The first issue has a coupon rate of 3.50 percent, a par value of $1,000 pe
katrin [286]

Answer:

2.9652%

Explanation:

to determine the cost of debt we must use the FMV of the bonds plus the YTM:

first bond:

FMV = 1.09 x $1,000 = $1,090 x 3,600 bonds = $3,924,000

YTM = {C + [(F - P)/n]} / [(F + P)/2] = {17.5 + [(1000 - 1090)/16]} / [(1000 + 1090)/2] = (17.5 - 5.625) / 1045 = 1.136% x 2 = 2.27% annual

second bond:

FMV = 0.95 x $2,000 = $1,900 x 3,950 bonds = $7,505,000

YTM = {C + [(F - P)/n]} / [(F + P)/2] = {59.4 + [(2000 - 1900)/42]} / [(2000 + 1900)/2] = (59.4 + 2.38) / 1950 = 3.168% x 2 = 6.34% annual

total debt = $3,924,000 + $7,505,000 = $11,429,000

weighted average after tax cost of debt:

{($3,924,000/$11,429,000 x 2.27%) + ($7,505,000/$11,429,000 x 6.34%)} x (1 - 0.40) = (0.779% + 4.163%) x 0.6 = 4.942% x 0.6 = 2.9652%
