Answer to Problem 5QP
Solution:
The number of periods is as follows:
Particulars | Years | Interest Rate | Future value | |
Investment A | $625 | 10.64 | 7% | $1,284 |
Investment B | $810 | 14.81 | 12% | $4,341 |
Investment C | $16,500 | 20.35 | 17% | $402,662 |
Investment D | $21,500 | 25.01 | 8% | $147,350 |
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Investment A has a present value of $625, future value of $1,284, and an interest rate of 7%. Investment B has a present value of $810, future value of $4,341, and an interest rate of 12%
Investment C has a present value of $16,500, future value of $402,662, and an interest rate of 17%. Investment D has a present value of $21,500, future value of $147,350, and an interest rate of 8%.
Formula:
Derive the formula to calculate the number of periods from the present value equation as follows:
The formula to calculate the number of periods:
Where,
“t” refers to the number of years or periods of investment,
“ln” refers to the log value,
“FV” refers to the future value,
“PV” refers to the present value,
“r” refers to the simple rate of interest.
Compute the number of periods for Investment A:
Hence, the number of periods of Investment A is 10.64 years.
Compute the number of periods for Investment B:
Hence, the number of periods of Investment B is 14.81 years.
Compute the number of periods for Investment C:
Hence, the number of periods of Investment C is 20.35 years.
Compute the number of periods for Investment D:
Hence, the number of periods of Investment D is 25.01 years.

- Concord Pix currently uses a six-year-old molding machine to manufacture silver picture frames. The company paid $95,000 for the machine, which was state of the art at the time of purchase. Although the machine will likely last another ten years, it will need a $12,000 overhaul in four years. More important, it does not provide enough capacity to meet customer demand. The company currently produces and sells 9,000 frames per year, generating a total contribution margin of $92,500. Martson Molders currently sells a molding machine that will allow Concord Pix to increase production and sales to 12,000 frames per year. The machine, which has a ten-year life, sells for $135,000 and would cost $10,000 per year to operate. Concord Pix's current machine costs only $8,000 per year to operate. If Concord Pix purchases the new machine, the old machine could be sold at its book value of $5,000. The new machine is expected to have a salvage value of $19,900 at the end of its ten-year life.
