Answer:

NPV is positive,the project should be accepted

Explanation:

In determining whether or not the project should be accepted ,we need to ascertain the Net Present value of the project which is present value of cash inflows of $13,000 for 35 years minus the initial investment of $125,374.60 committed today.

The annuity factor for 8% for 35 year horizon is 11.6546 using annuity table.

Present of cash inflow=cash inflow*annuity factor=$13,000*11.6546=$151,509.80  

Net present value=$ 151,509.80-$125,374.60=$ 26,135.20  

The investment has a positive NPV,hence should be accepted

Jenny wants a monthly retirement income of $12,000. She will retire on her birthday at age 70 with a $3,000 per month social sec
Vlada [557]

Answer:

Explanation:

Since she wants to receive the income per month, change the interest rate and duration on investment variables to monthly basis;

Out of the $12,000, find Jenny's own savings after deducting social security income & Pension benefit;

= 12,000 - 3,000 - 4,000 = $5,000

Since the 5,000 is recurring, it will be the PMT in annuity calculation.

<em>If marginal tax rate = 28%, find the aftertax nominal rate;</em>

<em>Pretax nominal rate = 7.9% or 0.079</em>

<em>After tax nominal rate = (1-0.28) *0.079</em>

<em>After tax nominal rate = 0.05688 or 5.688%</em>

Next, find the real interest rate using Fisher equation that applies the nominal rate and inflation rate

Real rate = [(1+Nominal) / (1+inflation) ] -1

=[(1+0.05688) / (1+0.026)] -1

= 1.0301 -1

= 0.0301

Real rate = 3.01%

Next, using financial calculator, enter the following inputs;

N = 95 - 70 = 25 years, but convert to months = 25*12 = 300

I/Y = 3.01% /12 = 0.2508%

PMT = 5,000

FV = 75,000*6 = 450,000

then CPT PV = $1,265,460.78

Therefore, she need to have saved $1,265,460.78

You skip the doughnut at the quick market, and buy fruit instead. The fruit is $2.00. The store charges you $2.08.
Sophie [7]

Unless the question is incomplete, then there is tax on the fruit which is where the other 8 cents is coming from. There is tax on some food items, but not all, so there could be a surcharge of some short that the quick market charges.

This is section 3.8 problem 30: a motel owner observes that when a room is priced at $60 per day, all 80 rooms of the motel are
inna [77]

Answer:

see explanations

Explanation:

First, for 80 room charged at $60 per room ,all rooms are occupied

Let the demand function, expressed by p , the price in dollars charged for each room per day, as a function of x as,

p(x)=$60x ------------where x in the number of rooms

When the price per room is increased by $3, the demand function will be;

p(x)=$63x

Maintenance per room after price increase will be;

p(x)=$16x

This means: $63x -$60x=$16x

3*80 p(x)=16*80

p(x)=(16*80)/(3*80) =5.33

Due to price increase the number of rooms occupied reduced by 5 rooms to 75 rooms. Because of unoccupied rooms bringing no revenue the maintenance cost increased. The demand for room decreased.
