The Cornballer, invented by George Bluth in the mid-1970s, is a device used to make cornballs. Itsold for $29.95. Suppose that 10,000 Cornballers were sold in 1981; 11,000 in 1982; and salesincreasing by 10% each year until it was last sold in 1990 (when it was made illegal). Assume aninterest rate of 12% per year. Assume sales were made at EOY. What was the worth of these cashflows in 1980? Show in standard factor notation and show the cash flow diagrams.
Problem Solving. Solve the following problems completely. 4. Atty. Gacayan invested P280, 000 which will be used in a project that will produce auniform annual revenue of P180,000 for 5 years and then have a salvage value of 16% ofthe investment. Out-of-pocket costs for operation and maintenance will be P80,000 peryear. Taxes and insurance will be 3% of the first cost per year. Atty Gacayan expectscapital to earn not less than 30% before income taxes. Determine if the investment is goodand Calculate the following:a. Calculate using Rate of Return Method.b. Payback period of the investment.
