Supposing there are two service contracts X and Z, both having an interest of 9% annually. Contract X costs P150,000 in the first year. Its cost will then rocket at a rate of 5% per year for 10 years. Contract Z has the same cost in year 1, but its cost will increase by 6% annually for 12 years. What will be the difference in each contract’s future value?
A mechanical workshop invested in purchasing a semiautomatic machine for $50,000, that expected to generate a net income of $8,000 starting year 4 and expected to decrease by 5% per year thereafter. The useful life of the machine is 20 years. If the workshop's minimum attractive rate of return (MARR) is 10% per year, the standard notation for determining the discounted payback period is: O 0 = -50,000 + 8,000 (P/A, 5%, 10%, np - 3) (P/F, 10%, 3) O 0= -50,000 + 8,000 (P/A, 5%, 10%, np) O 0 = -50,000 + 8,000 (P/A, -5%, 10%, np - 4) (P/F, 10%, 4) O 0= -50,000 + 8,000 (P/A, 5%, 10%, np - 4) (P/F, 10%, 4) O 0= -50,000 + 8,000 (P/A, -5%, 10%, np) (P/F, 10%, 4) None of them O 0 = -50,000 + 8,000 (P/A, -5%, 10%, np - 3) (P/F, 10%, 3) O 0= -50,000 + 8,000 (P/A, -59%, 10%, np) (P/F, 10%, 3)
