Kiddy Toy Corporation needs to acquire the use of a machine to be used in its manufacturing process. The machine needed is manuf
xenn [34]

Answer:

Option A net worth  -215,906.03

Option B net worth  -210, 159.75

It is a better deal to use the machine through lease than purchase it as the net worth is lower.

Explanation:

Purchase the machine:

-164,000 purchase cost

PV of the maintenance cost

C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\

C -9,000.00

time 10

rate 0.08

-9000 \times \frac{1-(1+0.08)^{-10} }{0.08} = PV\\

PV -$60,390.7326

PV of the salvage value

\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV  

Maturity  14,000.00

time  10.00

rate  0.08000

\frac{14000}{(1 + 0.08)^{10} } = PV  

PV   6,484.7088

<em>net worth: </em>

-162,000 - 60,390.73 + 6,484.70 = -215,906.03

PV of the lease: (annuity-due)

C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} (1+rate)= PV\\

C 29,000.00

time 10

rate 0.08

29000 \times \frac{1-(1+0.08)^{-10} }{0.08} (1+0.08) = PV\\

PV $210,159.7494

Maria, age 28, wants to pay no more than $300 a year in life insurance. What is the face value of the largest 20-year term polic
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Net Cost of Life Insurance Premium : Life insurance policy entails Premium to be paid by the insured at a monthly / quarterly interval. insured often gets dividend from the insurance company and in that case, the net cost of premium will be low

The 20 years premium can be calculated with Annual Premium which is not given in the question, therefore i will solve for all the option but please pick the answer that the Annual premium is with you

a)   20 years premium = Annual Premium x Number of years

                                     = 11700 x 20

                                    = 234,000

b)   20 years premium = Annual Premium x Number of years

                                     = 7900 x 20

                                    = 158,000

c)  20 years premium = Annual Premium x Number of years

                                     = 550 x 20

                                    = 11,000

d)  20 years premium = Annual Premium x Number of years

                                     = 28350 x 20

                                    = 567,000
