Answer:
$0.73
Explanation:
Interest = 12% = 1% per month
The sequence of monthly payment for indefinite years
$1000, $1900, $28000......... $10900
This means that the monthly payment increases by $900
The equivalent monthly payment can be calculated as
= 1000 + 900 ( A/G , 1% , 12 )
= 1000 + 900 * 5.3814
= 1000 + 4843.26
= $5843.26
present worth of withdrawal = 5843.26 / 1% = $584326
The minimum price that the company will have to sell its ticket to breakeven
= 584326 / 800000
= $0.73
Actual sales revenue in dollars is 3.5% higher than budgeted, actual sales price is 10% lower than budgeted, actual sales volume in units is 15% higher than budgeted, actual input prices are 5% lower than budgeted, and actual input quantities per unit are 5% lower than budgeted. Characterize input price and input efficiency variances as favorable (F) or unfavorable (U):
Answer:
Input price and input efficiency variances are:
Favorable.
Explanation:
The input price is the cost of production. When the actual cost of production (input price) is 5% lower than budgeted, it is a favorable outcome. Similarly, when the input efficiency (that is the quantity of input) is 5% lower than budgeted, it shows a favorable outcome. Therefore, the variances of these input elements (price and efficiency) are all together favorable.
Leading up to the signing of a contract with an integration clause, a buyer sent an e-mail to the seller of a beautiful, new $45,000 boat asking, "You provide financing, right?" The seller responded, "Yes, of course." The contract, which the parties signed yesterday, said nothing about financing. Right after signing, the seller said, "OK, let's get you set up with financing!" He then ran the buyer's credit, which was not good. The buyer was not approved for financing through the seller's only source. The buyer believes that he, therefore, is not liable for the cost of the boat. Is the buyer correct?
Answer: No, because of the integration clause
Explanation:
Based on the information given, the buyer isn't correct as a result of the integration clause.
The integration clause, is a clause in a written contract that stipulates that a particular contract is complete and that the parties involved agreed to the contract and it's final.
This contract supersedes every other informal understandings and all other oral agreements relating as well. Therefore, the buyer is liable for the cost of the boat.
You just decided to begin saving for retirement. You will make deposits of $1,000 per month into a retirement account that earns 8.00% p.a. The first deposit is made today and the last deposit will be made when you retire exactly 30 years from today. (Note: you make 361 total monthly deposits into your retirement account.) You will begin to make withdrawals from the account the first month after you retire. If you plan to live an additional 25 years and leave $900,000 to your heirs, you will be able to withdraw $_____ each month. (Note: you make 300 total monthly withdrawals from your retirement account.)
Answer:
Monthly withdraw= $4,752.01
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Monthly deposit= $1,000
Number of perios= 361 months
Interest rate= 0.08/12= 0.0067
First, we need to calculate the Future Value at the moment of retirement:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= monthly deposit
FV= {1,000*[(1.0067^361) - 1]} / 0.0067
FV= $1,513,584.37
Now, we can calculate the monthly withdraw:
PV= 1,513,584.37 - 900,000= $613,584.27
Monthly withdraw= (FV*i) / [1 - (1+i)^(-n)]
Monthly withdraw= (613,584.37*0.0067) / [1 - (1.0067^-300)]
Monthly withdraw= $4,752.01
small accounting firm is considering the purchase of a computer software package that would greatly reduce the amount of time needed to prepare tax forms. The software costs $2150 and this expense will be incurred immediately. The firm estimates that it will save $650 of cash flow at the end of each year beginning in one year for 5 consecutive years, and also save $1788 in year 6. What is the payback on the computer package
Answer:
Pay back period =3 years 4 months
Explanation:
The payback period is the estimated length of time it takes cash inflow from a project to recoup the cash outflow.
The payback period uses cash flows and not profit.
The payback period can be determined by accumulation the cash inflow consecutively to ascertain the length of time it will take the sum to equate the initial cost.
This will be done as follows:
The sum of the cash in flows for the first three years would equal
650× 3= 1,950
The balance required to equate 2,150 would be
balance = 2150-1950 = 200
Pay back period = 3 years + (200/650)× 12 months
= 3 years 3.6months
Pay back period =3 years 4 months

Explanation:
Job specialization can be defined as a strategic process which typically involves the ability of employees working in an organization to develop specific skills, knowledge, great expertise or professionalism and experience to perform their duties, tasks or job functions effectively and efficiently.
In order to gain the requisite skills, expertise and knowledge for job specialization, it is very important for the employees to have undergone an extensive training and a good number of years in work experience.
The primary purpose of job specialization is to increase efficiency and productivity because the employees are able to specialize in the use of specific tools (equipments) to accomplish their tasks, as well as limit the level of error or mistakes in the production process.
In Business management, method analysis can be defined as the study of the detailed process for the performance of a job i.e how a job is done. Thus, method analysis gives a detailed report on the tasks involved in the performance of a job and how they are to be done.
Basically, methods analysis is particularly valuable when it is used on jobs that:
1. Are high in labor content.
2. Are done frequently.
3. Are unsafe, tiring, unpleasant, and/or noisy.

"We are certainly in a better position in terms of diversity management than we were five years ago," said Patricia Collins-Jones, CEO of BetterFit, Inc. "We certainly have a more diverse employee population, and we have taken steps to involve people from different backgrounds in our business operations. However, I expect us to do more. We must be an organization where diversity not only exists, but is valued. We must ____________________."
Answer: fully integrate minority group members both formally and informally.
Explanation:
The options are:
a. Encourage monitory group members to adopt the norms of the majority.
b. fully integrate minority group members both formally and informally.
c. strive to build a more homogeneous employee population.
d. focus primarily upon employees visible differences like race or sex.
e. encourage more intergroup productive conflict.
Diversity simply refers to when people from different social, ethnic backgrounds or people from different races, religions, genders, etc are involved in a company or a particular thing.
Since the CEO calls for diversity to exist and be valued, the best option will be to fully integrate minority group members both formally and informally. This will help in making the minority group valued and also bring about diversity.
Other options are wrong as they either bring about discrimination or can bring about quarrel. Therefore, the correct option is B
An investment has the following characteristics: ATIRRP: After-tax IRR on total investment in the property: 9.0% BTIRRE: Before-tax IRR on equity invested: 17% BTIRRP: Before-tax IRR on total investment in the property: 12% t: Marginal tax rate: 0.40 What would be the break-even interest rate (BEIR), at which the use of leverage is neither favorable nor unfavorable
Answer:
15%
Explanation:
Calculation to determine would be the break-even interest rate (BEIR)
Using this formula
Break-even interest rate (BEIR)= After tax IRR on total investment / (1- Tax rate)
Let plug in the formula
Break-even interest rate (BEIR)=9% / (1-0.40)
Break-even interest rate (BEIR)=9%/0.60
Break-even interest rate (BEIR)= 15%
Therefore would be the break-even interest rate (BEIR), at which the use of leverage is neither favorable nor unfavorable is 15%
Exercise 5-10 (Algo) Multiproduct Break-Even Analysis [LO5-9] Lucido Products markets two computer games: Claimjumper and Makeover. A contribution format income statement for a recent month for the two games appears below: Claimjumper Makeover Total Sales $ 112,000 $ 56,000 $ 168,000 Variable expenses 41,320 9,080 50,400 Contribution margin $ 70,680 $ 46,920 117,600 Fixed expenses 81,060 Net operating income $ 36,540 Required: 1. What is the overall contribution margin (CM) ratio for the company
Answer:
Contribution margin ratio= 0.7
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Total
Sales $168,000
Variable expenses 50,400
To calculate the contribution margin ratio, we need to use the following formula:
Contribution margin ratio= (sales - total variable cost) / sales
Contribution margin ratio= (168,000 - 50,400) / 168,000
Contribution margin ratio= 0.7
Some hoodlums who have been earning money by stealing copper pipes and cable and selling them to recyclers are driving around one evening when they spot an unattended strange-looking building sitting out in the middle of a field, break in, and steal all of the copper wire they can haul in their truck, disabling the VOR air navigation facility.
Required:
In addition to trespassing, breaking and entering, and burglary, have they committed any aviation-specific federal crimes? If so, identify each such crime(s) and describe the penalties.
Answer:
Yes they have 18 U.S. Code § 32 (a) Clause 3Explanation:
With aviation being such a sensitive field that requires a lot of oversight, Congress enacted rules to punish aviation crimes which means that such crimes fall under Federal jurisdiction and as this crime is a crime against an aviation facility, it is a Federal crime.
The crime in question here falls under US. Code 32 - Destruction of aircraft or aircraft facilities under subsection (a)3 which talks about damaging an air navigation facility and how this can endanger the safety of flights en route.
Their punishment would be either a fine, imprisonment of not more than five years or both.
Consider a 20-year callable annual coupon bond with a face value of $1000 and a coupon rate of 8%. The bonds can be called after 5 years for a price of $1070 and is currently selling in the market for $1145. Calculate the yield to call. 6.67% 8.77% 6.21% 8.15% 5.81%
Answer:
5.82%
Explanation:
NPER = 5
PMT = 80
FV = 1,070
PV = 1145
RATE = YTC
Yield to call = RATE(Nper, Pmt, -PV, FV)
Yield to call = RATE(5, 80, -1145, 1070)
Yield to call = 0.058207481
Yield to call = 5.82%
Suppose that the Federal Reserve decides to decrease the money supply with a $300 purchases of Treasury bills. Complete the tables that represent the financial position of the Federal Reserve and commercial banks after this open-market operation. Be sure to use a negative sign for reduced values.
Federal Reserves Assest Liabilities
Commercial Reserves Assets Liabilities
For the Federal Reserve, what are assets? What are liabilities?
a. Monetary base; Reserves
b. Monetary base; Treasury bills
c. Treasury bills; Reserves
d. Reserves; Treasury bill
e. Treasury bills; Monetary base
Answer:
1. Federal Reserves:
Assets : $300
The Fed purchased these T-bills so they will form part of the Fed's assets as they are now owned by the Fed.
Liabilities: $300
Liabilities of the Fed will increase by $300 because the banks will deposit the money they got from the purchase in the Fed.
Commercial Banks:
Treasury Bills: -$300
The Treasury bills will reduce by $300 to reflect that the Fed purchased $300 worth of T-bills from the banks.
Reserves: $300
Reserves will increase because the banks would have made money from selling the T-bills to the Fed.
2. e. Treasury bills; Monetary base
Treasury bills are assets to the Fed in this case because as explained, they own these T-bills now after purchasing them.
The monetary base however, is a liability because it represents commercial bank reserves held in the Fed. They owe the banks this money thereby making it a liability.
Wildhorse Co. is a full-service manufacturer of surveillance equipment. Customers can purchase any combination of equipment, installation services, and training as part of Wildhorse’s security services. Thus, each of these performance obligations are separate with individual standalone selling prices. Laplante Inc. purchased cameras, installation, and training at a total price of $88,100. Estimated standalone selling prices of the equipment, installation, and training are $81,000, $6,300, and $2,700, respectively. How should the transaction price be allocated to the equipment, installation, and training?
WeAnswer:
Equipment $79,290
Installation $6,167
Training $2,643
Explanation:
Calculation to determine How should the transaction price be allocated to the equipment, installation, and training
First step is to calculate the total estimated fair value
Total estimated fair value = $81,000+$6,300+$2,700
Total estimated fair value =$90,000
Now let calculate How should the transaction price be allocated
Equipment= ($81,000 ÷ $90,000)*$88,100
Equipment= 90%*$88,100
Equipment=$79,290
Installation=($6,300 ÷ $90,000)* $88,100
Installation= 7%*$88,100
Installation=$6,167
Training=($2,700 ÷ $90,000)*$88,100
Training= 3%*$88,100
Training=$2,643
TOTAL
Equipment=$81,000
Installation=$6,300
Training=$2,700
Total $90,000
Equipment=$79,290
Installation=$6,167
Training=$2,643
Total $88,100
Equipment=90%
Installation=7%
Training=3%
Total 100%
Therefore the transaction price that should be allocated to the equipment, installation, and training are :
Equipment $79,290
Installation $6,167
Training $2,643
Parent Co. purchased the entire business of Subsidiary Co. including all its assets and liabilities for $600,000. Below is information related to the two companies: Parent Subsidiary Fair value of assets $1,050,000 $800,000 Fair value of liabilities 575,000 300,000 Reported assets 800,000 650,000 Reported liabilities 500,000 250,000 Net Income for the year 60,000 50,000 How much goodwill did Parent pay for acquiring Subsidiary
Answer:
$100,000
Explanation:
Calculation of Net amount payable:
Net Amount Payable = Fair Value of asset - Fair Value of liabilities = $800,000 - $300,000 = $500,000
Calculation of Goodwill that Parent pays to Subsidiary:
Goodwill = Actually paid amount - Net amount payable = $600,000 - $500,000 = $100,000
Zeibart Company purchases equipment for $225,000 on July 1, 2016, with an estimated useful life of 10 years and expected salvage value of $25,000. Straight-line depreciation is used. On July 1, 2020, economic factors cause the market value of the equipment to decline to $90,000. On this date, Zeibart examines the equipment for impairment and estimates $125,000 in future cash inflows related to use of this equipment.
Required:
a. Is the equipment impaired at July 1, 2020?
b. If the equipment is impaired on July I, 2020, compute the impairment loss and prepare a journal entry to record the loss.
Answer:
a. Yes, the equipment is impaired at July 1, 2020.
b. Impairment loss is $20,000. And the journal entries are as follows:
Debit Impairment loss for $20,000
Debit Accumulated depreciation for $80,000
Credit Equipment for $100,000
Explanation:
a. Is the equipment impaired at July 1, 2020?
This can be determined as follows:
Annual depreciation = (Cost - Salvage value) / Estimated useful life = ($225,000 - $25,000) / 10 = $20,000
Accumulated depreciation till July 1, 2020 = Annual depreciation * Number of years from July 1, 2016 to July 1, 2000 = $20,000 * 4 = $80,000
Net book value at July 1, 2020 = Cost - Accumulated depreciation till July 1, 2020 = $225,000 - $80,000 = $145,000
Equipment recoverable amount = Estimated future cash inflows related to use of the equipment = $125,000
Since the net book value of $145,000 is greater than the recoverable amount of the equipment of $125,000, this implies that the equipment is impaired at July 1, 2020.
b. If the equipment is impaired on July I, 2020, compute the impairment loss and prepare a journal entry to record the loss.
Accumulated depreciation till July 1, 2020 = $80,000
Estimated future cash inflows related to use of the equipment = $125,000
Fair market value = $90,000
Recoverable amount = Higher of estimated future cash inflows related to use of the equipment or Fair market value = $125,000
Net book value at July 1, 2020 = $145,000
Impairment loss = Net book value at July 1, 2020 - Recoverable amount = $145,000 - $125,000 = $20,000
The journal entries will then look as follows:
Date Details Debit ($) Credit ($)
01 Jul 2020 Impairment loss 20,000
Accumulated depreciation 80,000
Equipment 100,000
(To record impairment loss.)
The Sheridan Acres Inn is trying to determine its break-even point during its off-peak season. The inn has 50 rooms that it rents at $36 a night. Operating costs are as follows:
Salaries $4,000 per month
Utilities $1,500 per month
Depreciation $1,300 per month
Maintenance $832 per month
Maid service $6 per room
Other costs $12 per room
Required:
a. Determine the inn's break-even point in number of rented rooms per month.
b. Determine the inn's break-even point in dollars.
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the unitary variable cost and the fixed costs:
Unitary variable cost= 6 + 12= $18
Total fixed costs= 4,000 + 1,500 + 1,300 + 832
Total fixed costs= $7,632
Now, to calculate the break-even point both in units and dollars, we need to use the following formulas:
Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit
Break-even point in units= 7,632 / (36 - 18)
Break-even point in units= 424 per month
Break-even point (dollars)= fixed costs/ contribution margin ratio
Break-even point (dollars)= 7,632 / (18/36)
Break-even point (dollars)= $15,264
Assume a small nation has the following statistics: its consumption expenditure is $15 million, investment is $2 million, government expenditure on goods and services is $1 million, exports of goods and services to foreigners is $1 million, and imports of goods and services from foreigners is $1.5 million. Calculate this nation's GDP
Answer:
GDP= $17,500,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
(C) Consumption expenditure is $15 million
(I) Investment is $2 million
(G) Government expenditure on goods and services is $1 million
(X) Exports of goods and services to foreigners is $1 million
(N) Imports of goods and services from foreigners is $1.5 million
To calculate the GDP, we need to use the following formula:
GDP= C + I + G + (X - N)
GDP= 15 + 2 + 1 + 1 - 1.5
GDP= $17,500,000
The purpose of preparing a direct materials budget is to ________. multiple choice 1 allocate the cost of raw materials to production departments estimate the manufacturing overhead estimate the quantity of raw materials to be purchased estimate the unit cost of direct materials to be purchased Knowledge Check 02 In a direct materials budget, the desired ending raw materials inventory for the year is equal to the ________. multiple choice 2 beginning balance of accounts payable desired ending raw materials inventory for the last period total merchandise purchased during the year value of raw material used during the year
Answer:
1. estimate the quantity of raw materials to be purchased.
2. ending raw materials inventory for the last period.
Explanation:
A budget is a financial plan used for the estimation of revenue and expenditures of an individual, organization or government for a specified period of time, often one year. Budgets are usually compiled, analyzed and re-evaluated on periodic basis.
The first step of the budgeting process is to prepare a list of each type of income and expense that will be part of the budget.
The final step by the management of an organization in the financial decision making process is making necessary adjustments to the budget.
The benefits of having a budget is that it aids in setting goals, earmarking revenues and resources, measuring outcomes and planning against contingencies.
1. The purpose of preparing a direct materials budget is to estimate the quantity of raw materials to be purchased. This includes the raw materials that would be used for the manufacturing of finished goods.
2. In a direct materials budget, the desired ending raw materials inventory for the year is equal to the ending raw materials inventory for the last period.
Lionel is an unmarried law student at State University Law School, a qualified educational institution. This year Lionel borrowed $30,000 from County Bank and paid interest of $1,800. Lionel used the loan proceeds to pay his law school tuition. Calculate the amounts Lionel can deduct for higher education expenses and interest on higher-education loans under the following circumstances:
Answer:
Deductible interest expense of $1440 and deductible education expense of $4000.
Explanation:
There are certain tax laws which allows a tax payer to deduct his expenses from the taxable amount. The tax payer can deduct interest expense from the taxable amount since it is a tax shield. Lionel can deduct an interest expense of $1440 from the taxable amount and he can deduct $4000 for his education from the taxable amount.
13. Suppose we can postpone investment three years and, with the new improved technology, the project will have similar risk but for an investment of $5 million will generate perpetual cash flows (beginning exactly one year after the investment) of $500,000. Would you recommend that we invest in the original project or wait three years to invest in the new project
Answer:
Invest in the original project.
Explanation:
It is better for the company to invest in the current project rather than waiting for three year. The project after three years will require initial investment of $5 million and will provide returns of $500,000. These cash flows needs to be discounted at a discount factor to determine the present value of the cash flow. The value of money three years later will be lower than the current value.
you are a consultant to a firm evaluating an expansion of its current business. The cash flow forecasts (in millions of dollar) for the project as follows: on the basis of the behavior of the firm's stock, you believe that the beta of the firm is 1.30. Assuming that the rate of return available on risk-free investments is 5% and that the expected rate of return on the market portfolio is 15% what is the net present value of the project

0n the basis of the behavior of the firm's stock, you believe that the beta of the firm is 1.30. Assuming that the rate of return available on risk-free investments is 5% and that the expected rate of return on the market portfolio is 15% what is the net present value of the project
Answer:
NPV= -$32.58
Explanation:
The net present value of the investment is the cash inflow from the investment discounted at required rate of return. The required rate of return can be determined using the the formula below:
Ke= Rf +β(Rm-Rf)
Ke =? , Rf- 5%,, Rm-15%, β- 1.30
Ke=5% + 1.30× (15-5)= 18%
The NPV = Present value of cash inflow - initial cost
= A×(1-(1+r)^(-10)/r - initial cost
A- 15, r-18%
NPV = 15× (1-1.18^(-10)/0.18 - 100= -32.58
NPV = -$32.58
Which of the following statements are true regarding owners' equity and ownership rights held in noncorporate entities?
a. Owners' equity for proprietorships and partnerships is usually referred to as capital.
b. No distinction is made between invested capital and retained earnings for a proprietorship or a partnership.
c. Neither proprietorships or partnerships issue stock.
Answer: A. Owners' equity for proprietorships and partnerships is usually referred to as capital.
B. No distinction is made between invested capital and retained earnings for a proprietorship or a partnership.
C. Neither proprietorships or partnerships issue stock.
Explanation:
The statements that are true regarding owners' equity and ownership rights held in noncorporate entities include:
• No distinction is made between invested capital and retained earnings for a proprietorship or a partnership.
• Neither proprietorships or partnerships issue stock.
• Owners' equity for proprietorships and partnerships is usually referred to as capital.
We should note that sole proprietorships and partnership typically don't have stockholders and shouldn't issue stock as they aren't separated from their founders.
Also, the owners' equity for proprietorships and partnerships is usually referred to as capital. We should note that for a sole proprietorship or a partnership, the equity is the owners capital account which can be seen on the balance sheet.
Based on the above explanation, all the options given above are correct.
Diamond Company has three product lines, A, B, and C. The following financial information is available:

What is absorption costing?The absorption costing method captures the total cost of production, including direct and indirect costs.
The costs of selling and administration, whether variable or fixed, are treated as period costs and not assigned to products.
Data and Calculations:Selling price per unit = $210
Total sales revenue = $3,990,000 ($210 x 19,000)
Beginning inventory = 0 units
Units produced = 20,000
Units sold = 19,000
Ending inventory = 1,000
Variable costs per unit:Direct materials $ 50
Direct labor 80
Variable manufacturing overhead 20
Variable selling and administrative 10
Total variable cost per unit $ 160
Fixed costs:Fixed manufacturing overhead $ 700,000
Fixed selling and administrative 285,000
Total fixed costs $ 985,000
Absorption Costing:Direct materials $ 50
Direct labor 80
Variable manufacturing overhead 20
Total variable production cost per unit = $150
Total variable production cost = $3,000,000 ($150 x 20,000)
Fixed manufacturing overhead $ 700,000
Total manufacturing costs = $3,700,000 ($3,000,000 + $700,000)
Unit product cost = $185 ($3,700,000/20,000)
Cost of goods sold = $3,515,000 ($185 x 19,000)
Cost of ending inventory = $185,000 ($185 x 1,000)

The same question stem will be used in the next 5 questions. Question stem: Assume that banks hold 7 percent excess reserves, the currency to deposit ratio is 15 percent, and the required reserve ratio is 10 percent. Suppose that the Federal Reserve purchases 250 million dollars worth of bonds from the public. First question for this stem: What is the value of the deposit multiplier
Answer: 10
Explanation:
The Deposit multiplier is a number that enables us calculate the maximum total amount of money that can be generated from deposits in a bank after the bank has left a portion of its deposits as required reserves.
= 1 / Required reserve ratio
= 1 / 10%
= 10
A data mining routine has been applied to a transaction dataset and has classified 88 records as fraudulent (30 correctly so) and 952 as non-fraudulent (920 correctly so). Construct the classification matrix and calculate the error rate, sensitivity, and specificity.
Answer:
1. Classification Matrix:
Actual Class 1 0
1 30 58
0 32 920
2.Overall error rate (err) 8.65%
Accuracy% 91.35%
Explanation:
To Construct the classification matrix and to calculate the error rate

Classification Matrix:
Classification Confusion Matrix
Predicted Class
Actual Class 1 0
1 30 58
(88-30=58)
0 32 920
(952-920)
Calculation for the error rate
Using this formula
Overall error rate (err) = Sum of Misclassification transactions/Total transaction
Let plug in the formula
Overall error rate (err) =[(88-30)+(952-920)]/(952+88)
Overall error rate (err) = (58+32)/1040
Overall error rate (err) =0.08653*100
Overall error rate (err) = 8.65 %
Accuracy% = 1-err
Accuracy%=100%-8.65%
Accuracy%= 91.35%

A municipal power plant uses natural gas from an existing pipeline at an annual cost of $10,000 per year. A new pipeline would initially cost $35,000, but it would reduce the annual cost to $4000 per year. Assume an analysis period of 20 years and no salvage value for either pipeline. The interest rate is 7%. Using the equivalent uniform annual cost (EUAC), should the new pipeline be built
Answer: EUAC of new pipeline of $7,303.75 is less than the $10,000 of old pipeline so new pipeline should be built.
Explanation:
Equivalent Uniform Annual cost can be calculated as:
= Reduction in annual cost + (Initial Cost/ Present value interest factor of annuity, 7%, 20 years)
= 4,000 + (35,000 / 10.5940)
= 4,000 + 3,303.75
= $7,303.75
