Calculate the net present value in US$ of an investment in the health spa only, assuming that the 1,500-square-foot unit is purchased and then resold at the end of 12 years. (Hint: Before making your present value calculations, multiply all amounts expressed in CI$ by $1.25 to convert into US$.)
Answer: Hello I was able to find the Major part of the question online as attached below
answer :
Net present value ( NPV ) = $153353.91
Explanation:
NPV = ( Present value of Cash Inflow) - ( Present value of Cash outflow) -- ( 1 )
present value of cash inflow
i) cosmetic products = ( 5500 * 1.25 * 12) * ( 6.8137) (cost of capital )) = 562130.25
ii) land sale = ( 1500 * 300 * 1.25 ) * ( 0.8186 ) ( cost of capital )) = 179212.5
∑ present value of cash inflow = 741342.75
Present value of cash outflow ( other expenses )
∑ present value of cash outflow = 587,988.84
NPV = 741,342.75 - 587,988.84 = $153,353.91
A firm that purchases electricity from the local utility for $300,000 per year is considering installing a steam generator at a cost of $260,000. The cost of operating this generator would be $210,000 per year, and the generator will last for five years. If the firm buys the generator, it does not need to purchase any electricity from the local utility. The cost of capital is 11%. For the local utility option, consider five years of electricity purchases. For the generator option, assume immediate installation, with purchase and operating costs in the current year and operating costs continuing for the next four years. Assume payments under both options at the start of each year (i.e., immediate, one year from now,..., four years from now). What is the net present value of the more attractive choice?
Answer:
The net present value of the more attractive choice is:
= $1,108,800 (paying for local utility)
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Project period = 5 years
Cost of capital = 11%
Local Utility Steam Generator
Operating cost per year $300,000 $210,000
Cost of steam generator $260,000
PV (annuity factor
at 11% for 5 years) 3.696
PV (annuity factor
at 11% for 4 years) 3.102
Present value $1,108,800 ($300,000 * 3.696)
Present value of steam generator/
operating cost for the 1st year $470,000
Present value of operating cost for 4 years 651,420 ($210,000 * 3.102)
Net present value $1,108,800 $1,121,420
Paying for the local utility is more attractive with a net present value savings of $12,620 ($1,121,420 - $1,108,800)
Suppose First Main Street Bank, Second Republic Bank, and Third Fidelity Bank all have zero excess reserves. The required reserve ratio is 25%. Manuel, a client of First Main Street Bank, deposits $1,800,000 into his checking account at First Main Street Bank.
Required:
Write down the table to show the effect of a new deposit on excess and required reserves
Answer:
Change in Excess Reserves $1,350,000
Change in Required Reserves $450,000
Explanation:
Preparation of the table to show the effect of a new deposit on excess and required reserves
Based on the information given since the REQUIRED RESERVE RATIO is 25%, which means that First Main Street Bank will hold 25% of its initial deposit leading to INCREASE in the REQUIRED RESERVE by the amount of $450,000 (25%*$1,800,000) while the remaining 75% (100%-25%) will be the EXCESS RESERVES of the amount of $1,350,000 (75%*$1,800,000).
Hence:
Amount Deposited: $1,800,000
Change in Excess Reserves=$1,350,000
Change in Required Reserves= $450,000
Therefore the effect of a new deposit on excess and required reserves will be:
Change in Excess Reserves $1,350,000
Change in Required Reserves $450,000

Contribution from processing further $15 $0 $360
Units produced 750 1250 3,000 5,000
Required:
Determine the value for each misse
Answer:
Agon
Allocated joint cost $45
Sales value split off $90
additional processing cost $60
Sales value if processed further $150
Contribution from processing further $15
Xon
Allocated joint cost $75
Sales value split off $150
additional processing cost $150
Sales value if processed further $300
Contribution from processing further $0
Zeon
Allocated joint cost $330
Sales value split off $660
additional processing cost $180
Sales value if processed further $1200
Contribution from processing further $360
Explanation:
Sales split off point Xon $300 - $150 = $150
Sales split off point Zeon $900 - $90 - $150 = $660
Joint cost of Xon = 450 / 900 * 150 = 75
Joint cost of Zeon = 450 / 900 * 660 = 330

2. The Weimer Corporation wants to accumulate a sum of money to repay certain debts due on December 31, 2025. Weimer will make annual deposits of $100,000 into a special bank account at the end of each of 10 years beginning December 31, 2016. Assuming that the bank account pays 7% interest compounded annually, what will be the fund balance after the last payment is made on December 31, 2025?
Answer:
option 1
$1,381,644.80
Explanation:
Alex would choose the option that has the highest present value
Present value is the sum of discounted cash flows
Present value can be calculated using a financial calculator
pv of option 2
Cash flow in year 0 = 20,000
Cash flow in year 1 - 6 = $8,000
i = 6%
PV = 59,338.60
OPTION 3
Cash flow in year 1 - 6 = 13,000
i - 6%
pv = 63,925.22
option 1 has the highest present value and should be chosen
To find the PV using a financial calculator:
1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
2. after inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

Round your answers to two decimal places.MAE =MSE =MAPE =Which method appears to provide the more accurate forecasts for the historical data?
Answer:
1. We have:
MAE = 3.60
MSE = 15.60
MAPE = 25.45
2. We have:
MAE = 2.62
MSE = 11.11
MAPE = 19.59
3. The average of all the historical data provides the more accurate forecasts for the historical data.
Explanation:
Note: This question is not correct as the average of all the historical data is asked to be used as a forecast for the next period in requirements 1 and 2 instead of the naïve method (most recent value) for the first requirement. The correct question is therefore presented before answering the question as follows:
Consider the following time series data.
Week 1 2 3 4 5 6
Value 19 13 15 12 17 15
1. Using the naïve method (most recent value) as the forecast for the next period, compute the following (Round your answers to two decimal places.) measures of forecast accuracy:
a. Mean absolute error (MAE)
b. Mean squared error (MSE)
c. Mean absolute percentage error (MAPE).
2. Using the average of all the historical data as a forecast for the next period, compute the same three values. Round your answers to two decimal places.
3. Which method appears to provide the more accurate forecasts for the historical data?
The explanation of the answer is now provided as follows:
The following formulae are to be used:
MAE = Total of Error / Number of observations
MSE = Total of Error^2 / Number of observations
MAPE = Total of Error % / Number of observations
1. Using the naïve method (most recent value) as the forecast for the next period, compute the following (Round your answers to two decimal places.) measures of forecast accuracy:
Note: See part 1 of the attached excel file for the determination of Naïve and Calculations of Error, Error^2 and Error % using the naïve method as the forecast for the next period.
From the attached excel file, we have:
MAE = 18.00 / 5 = 3.60
MSE = 78.00 / 5 = 15.60
MAPE = 127.23 / 5 = 25.45
2. Using the average of all the historical data as a forecast for the next period, compute the same three values. Round your answers to two decimal places.
Note: See part 2 of the attached excel file for the determination of Naïve and Calculations of Error, Error^2 and Error % using the average of all the historical data as a forecast for the next period.
From the attached excel file, we have:
MAE = 13.12 / 5 = 2.62
MSE = 55.55 / 5 = 11.11
MAPE = 97.94 / 5 = 19.59
3. Which method appears to provide the more accurate forecasts for the historical data?
The average of all the historical data provides the more accurate forecasts for the historical data comparing the values of its MAE, MSE and MAPE to the values of MAE, MSE and MAPE of Naive method. This is because the error values of the average of all the historical data are much lowest and more closest to the actual data.

a 17-year annuity pays $1,100 per month, and payments are made at the end of each month. The interest rate is 16 percent compounded monthly for the first 6 years and 13 percent compounded monthly thereafter. What is the present value of the annuity
Answer:
The present value of the annuity is $73,091.50
Explanation:
Use the following formula to calculate the present value of the annuity
Present value of annuity = ( Annuity Payment x Annuity factor for first 6 years ) + [ ( Annuity Payment x Annuity factor for after 6 years ) x Present value factor for 6 years ]
Where
Annuity Payment = $1,000
Annuity factor for first 6 years = 1 - ( 1 + 16%/12 )^-(6x12) / 16%/12 = 46.10028344
Annuity factor for after 6 years = 1 - ( 1 + 13%/12 )^-((17-6)x12) / 13%/12 = 70.0471029820
Present value factor for 6 years = ( 1 + 16%/12)^-(6x12) = 0.385329554163
Placing values in the formula
Present value of annuity = ( $1,000 x 46.10028344 ) + [ ( $1,000 x 70.0471029820 ) x 0.385329554163 ]
Present value of annuity = $46,100.28 + $26,991.22
Present value of annuity = $73,091.50
Research the different types of body language the people use in different cultures.
Answer:
Explanation:
Body language is an extremely important form of communication in every single culture, yet every culture has differences. For example...
Korean's tend to greet individuals with a bow. This is a form of showing respect as well as saying hello. Other cultures such as the Swiss tend to greet others with three cheek kisses.
Body language can be for many occasions such as Americans using the middle finger to show their dislike of someone. There's also Italian's closing their fingers together in form of a pinecone to show their distraught over something.
Body language has always been a way of expressing oneself and their emotions.
You own a portfolio that has a total value of $185,000 and it is invested in Stock D with a beta of .91 and Stock E with a beta of 1.33. The beta of your portfolio is equal to the market beta. What is the dollar amount of your investment in Stock D
Answer:
$145,357.14
Explanation:
The computation of the dollar amount of your investment in Stock D is shown below:
Let us assume the investment in D be $x
So,
The investment in E is ($185,000 - x)
As we know that
Portfolio beta= Respective beta × Respective investment weight
1 = (x ÷ 185,000 × 0.91 ) +(185,000 - x) ÷ 185,000 × 1.33
Here
Beta of market = 1
And, the Beta of risk-free assets=0
(1 × 185000) = 0.91x + 246050 - 1.33x
185,000 = 0.91x + 246050 - 1.33x
x = (246050 - 185,000) ÷ (1.33 - 0.91)
= $145,357.14

Assuming you have to pay $6.00 to play the game, explain what happens in the long run. (Is it a good idea to play the game
Answer:
Kindly check explanation
Explanation:
We create a probability distribution for the play and winning :
Possible winning, X = 0, 7, 20
Probability of winning :
Sum of 2 die rolls ; sample space = 6² = 36
P(winning 0) = (sum ≠ 2,3,5 or 6)/ sample space = 24 / 36 = 2/3
P(winning 20) = (sum = (2 or 3) / Sample space) = 9 / 36 = 1/4
P(winning 7) = (sum = (5or6) / sample space) = 3 / 36 = 1/12
Distribution table :
X _____ 0 _______ 7 _____ 20
P(x) ___ 2/3 _____ 1/4 ____ 1/12
Expected value of the game ; E(X) ;
E(X) = Σx*p(x)
E(X) = (0*2/3) + (7*1/4) + (20*1/12)
E(X) = 0 + 1.75 + 1.6667
E(X) = 3.417
E(X) = 3.42
This means the mean winning after a long play is expected to be $3.42
To know if the game should be paku in the long run : we calculate the payoff
Expected Value - cost of paly
Cost of play = $6
Payoff = 3.42 - 6 = - 2.58
Since, payoff is negative, the game should not be played.

Mullee Corporation produces a single product and has the following cost structure: Number of units produced each year 7,000 Variable costs per unit: Direct materials $ 51 Direct labor $ 12 Variable manufacturing overhead $ 2 Variable selling and administrative expense $ 5 Fixed costs per year: Fixed manufacturing overhead $441,000 Fixed selling and administrative expense $112,000 The absorption costing unit product cost is:________
a. $65 per unit
b. $128 per unit
c. $63 per unit
d. $149 per unit
Answer:
unitary absorption production cost= $128
Explanation:
The absorption costing method includes all costs related to production, both fixed and variable. The unit product cost is calculated using direct material, direct labor, and total unitary manufacturing overhead.
First, we need to calculate the unitary fixed manufacturing overhead:
Unitary fixed overhead= 441,000 / 7,000= $63
Now, the unitary absorption production cost:
unitary absorption production cost= 51 + 12 + 2 + 63
unitary absorption production cost= $128

Bobby bought 550 shares of stock at $61.25 per share. His broker charges 4% commission for round lots and 5% for odd lots. Calculate the total cost of the stock purchase.
Answer:
The total cost of the stock purchase was $ 35,371.87.
Explanation:
Since Bobby bought 550 shares of stock at $ 61.25 per share, and his broker charges 4% commission for round lots and 5% for odd lots, to calculate the total cost of the stock purchase the following calculation must be performed:
Odd lot = less than 100 shares, or sum not divisible by 100
550 = odd lot
(550 x 61.25) x 0.05 = X
33,687.5 x 0.05 = X
1,684.375 = X
