- The inflation rate in a Central American country is 6% per year. What real rate of return will an investor make on a $100,000 investment in a copper mine stock that yields an overall internal rate of return of 28% per year?Colgate-Palmolive can purchase a piece of equipment now for $80,000 or buy it 3 years from now for an estimated $128,000. The MARR requirement is a real return of 15% per year. If an inflation rate of 4% per year must be accounted for, should the company buy the machine now or later?A recently graduated mechanical engineer wants to build a reserve fund as a safety net to pay his expenses in the unlikely event that an unexpected emergency arises. His aim is to have $45,000 developed over the next 3 years, with the proviso that the amount must have the same purchasing power as $45,000 today. If the expected market rate on investments is 8% per year and inflation is averaging 2% per year, find the annual amount necessary to meet his goal.
- Factors that increase costs and prices—especially for materials and manufacturing costs sensitive to market, technology, and labor availability—can be considered separately using the real interest rate, i, the inflation rate, f, and additional increases that grow at a geometric rate, g (commonly due to maintenance and repair cost increases as machinery ages). The future amount is calculated based on a current estimate by using the relation: F = P(1 + i)n (1 + f )n (1 + g)n = P[(1 + i) (1 + f ) (1 + g)]n The current cost to manufacture an electronic subcomponent is $145,000 per year. Provided the average annual rates for i, f, and g are 8%, 4%, and 3%, respectively, determine the equivalent future cost (a) in 3 years, and (b) in 8 years.Find the annual worth equivalent in actual-dollars from year 1 to 8 of an investment of $28,000 now, if the inflation rate is 5.5% and the inflation-free interest rate is 15% per year.Aquatech Microsystems spent $183,000 for a communications protocol to achieve interoperability among its utility systems. If the company uses a real interest rate of 15% per year on such investments and a recovery period of 5 years, what is the equivalent annual worth of the expenditure in then-current dollars at an inflation rate of 6% per year?
- Due to inflation in Australia in December 2019, the price for petrol increased from AUD 1.35 to AUD 1.45. This caused petrol consumption to decrease from 2500 litres to 2450 litres at a 7-Eleven Petrol Station in Sydney. Also, when the price for Hyundai 7.5kW Inverter Split System Air Conditioner (Reverse Cycle) increased from AUD 950.00 to AUD 990.00; demand for these air conditioners fell from 2500 units to 2000 units. Following this condition, answer the questions below.i. Using the mid-point formula calculate the price elasticity of demand for petroland Hyundai 7.5kW Inverter Split System Air Conditioner (Reverse Cycle). ii. Is the price elasticity of demand: elastic, unit elastic or inelastic for eachcommodity (petrol and Hyundai 7.5kW Inverter Split System Air Conditioner (Reverse Cycle)? iii. Suppose the government decides to increase tax for petrol and Hyundai 7.5kWInverter Split System Air Conditioner (Reverse Cycle). Use two diagrams to explain the incidence of the tax…α-β, Inc., a high-tech company in San Diego, whose stock trades on the NYSE exchange, uses a MARR of 25% per year. If the chief financial officer (CFO) said the company expects to make a real rate of return of 20% per year on its investments over the next 3-year period, what is the company expecting the annual inflation rate to be over that time period?Provided the inflation rate is f percent per year, to determine the purchasing power of $10,000 ten years from now, the $10,000 must be:a. divided by (1 + f )10b. multiplied by (1 + f )10c. divided by (1+ 0.10) fd. divided by (1 + f )
- A small mechanical consulting company is examining its future cash flow requirements. The president expects to replace office machines and IT equipment at various times over a 6-year planning period. Specifically, the company expects to spend $6000 two years from now, $9000 three years from now, and $5000 six years from now. What is the purchasing power (with respect to today’s dollars) of each expenditure in its respective year, if the inflation rate is 4% per year?In order to convert inflated dollars into constantvalue dollars, it is necessary to: (a) Divide by (1 + if )n (b) Divide by (1 + f )n (c) Divide by (1 + i)n (d ) Multiply by (1 + f )nA very generous grandfather is planning to leave his only granddaughter well off when she reaches the age of 25. He plans to deposit a lump sum now, which is her 2nd birthday, such that she will have enough money to live comfortably without working for a salary. He wants her to receive an amountthat will have the same purchasing power as $2 million today. If he can invest the money and earn an average market interest rate of 8% per year while the inflation rate averages 4% per year, how much must he deposit now?
