Use the following information to answer the question(s) below. You have a small recycling business. A competitor has promised you to buy your business any time in the next 2 years for the amount of CHF 370,000.

Answer number 4 only. You are planning to invest in a machine for your manufacturing facility. The machine costs P55,400, and it has an expected useful life of 5 years. You estimate that the machine will generate an annual net cash flow (revenue minus expenses) of P21,000. The interest rate is 5% per year. 1. Disregarding the revenue, what is the future value of the machine cost? 2. What is the present value of the revenue in its 5 years of useful life? Is it worth the investment compared to the machine cost? 3. What is the future value of the revenue in its 5 years of useful life? is it worth the investment compared to the future value of the machine cost? 4. Suppose that at there is a maintenance expense of P3,000 at the first year, P3,500 at the second year, P4,000 at the third year, P4,500 at the fourth year, and P5,000 at the last year. What is the present value of the maintenance expense
Your friend in mechanical engineering has invented a money machine. The main drawback of the machine is that it is slow. It takes one year to manufacture $100. However, once built, the machine will last forever and will require no maintenance. The machine can be built immediately, but it will cost $1,000 to build. Your friend wants to know if he should invest the money to construct it. If the interest rate is 4.0% per year, what should your friend do? The NPV of the machine is $ (Round to the nearest dollar.) What should your friend do? (Select the best choice below.) A. Reject the machine because the NPV is equal to or greater than $0. B. Accept the machine because the NPV is equal to or less than $0. C. Reject the machine because the NPV is less than $0. D. Accept the machine because the NPV is equal to or greater than $0.
Your landscaping company can lease a truck for $7,200 a year (paid at year-end) for 6 years. It can instead buy the truck for $35,000. The truck will be valueless after 6 years. The interest rate your company can earn on its funds is 7%. a. What is the present value of the cost of leasing? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) b. Is it cheaper to buy or lease? c. What is the present value of the cost of leasing if the lease payments are an annuity due, so the first payment comes immediately?

Assume that you are thinking about starting your own small business. You have made the following estimates regarding this opportunity: You can rent a location for your business at a cost of $36, 000 per year. The equipment costs incurred to start the business would total $250,000. The equipment would have a 5-year useful life and a salvage value of S 25,000. Your company's estimated sales per year would equal $350,000 and its variable cost of goods sold would be 30% of sales. Other operating costs would include $56, 000 per year in salaries, S4, 000 per year for insurance, $25, 000 per year for utilities, and a 3% sales commission. The payback period for this investment opportunity is closest to: Multiple Choice 4.08 years, 2.20 years. 3.80 years. 3.08 years.
