You are conducting a discounted cash flow analysis (DCF). You purchased an asset for $400,000 at time point zero. The asset was
andrew11 [14]

Answer: $112000

Explanation:

First, we calculate the book value in year 7 which will be:

= Depreciation × Balance life

= $400,000 × 3/10

= $120,000

Then, the cash flow as a result of the transaction will be:

= Asset sale - (Asset - Book value) × Tax rate

= 110000 - [(110000 - 120000) × 20%]

= 110000 - (-2000)

= 110000 + 2000

= 112000

Sonbull [250]

Answer:

1. Is this a 17 percent loan?

  • No, the loan charges a much higher interest rate

2. What rate would legally have to be quoted?

  • 30%

3. What is the effective annual rate?

  • 34.49%

Explanation:

effective annual rate = (1 + i/n)ⁿ - 1

using a financial calculator, i = 30% (PV = 20,000, PMT = -1,950, Nper = 12, FV = 0)

monthly interest rate = 2.5%

effective annual rate = (1 + 0.30/12)¹² - 1 = (1 + 0.025)¹² - 1 = 1.3449 - 1 = 0.3449 = 34.49%

APR (legal rate) = 2.5% x 12 = 30%
