A company is considering switching from a cash only policy to a net 30 credit policy. The price per unit is $800 and the variable cost per unit is $600. The company currently sells 1,000 units per month. Under the proposed policy the company expects to sell 1,500 units per month. The required monthly return is 4%. If you were using NPV analysis to decide whether the company should switch to the net 30 credit policy, what amount would you use for the present value of the future incremental cash flows? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round the final answer to 2 decimal places. Omit any commas and the $ sign in your response. For example, an answer of $1,000.50 should be entered as 1000.50.) Numeric Response

You are an avid 34 year old coffee drinker, and never miss a day without your $4.00 Starbucks caffe latte. However, you also understand the importance of the time value of money and saving for retirement early, so you set a New Year's Resolution to abstain from your coffee-drinking ways this year. At the end of the year, you will place all of your coffee savings in a retirement account. How much will this savings amount to when you retire in 30 years at the age of 65, if invested at a 7.5% annual interest rate (rounded to the nearest dollar)? Assume that the cost of the cup of coffee remains unchanged throughout the year.
Liam O’Kelly is 20 years old and is thinking about buying a term life insurance policy with his wife as the beneficiary. The quoted annual premium for Liam is $8.48 per thousand dollars of insurance coverage. Because Liam wants a $100,000 policy (which is 2.5 times his annual salary), the annual premium would be $848, with the first payment due immediately (i.e., at age 21). A friend of Liam’s suggests that the $848 annual premium should be deposited in a good mutual fund rather than in the insurance policy. “If the mutual fund earns 10% per year, you can become a millionaire by the time you retire at age 65,” the friend advises. Solve, a. Is the friend’s statement really true? b. Discuss the trade-off that Liam is making if he decides to invest his money in a mutual fund.
When you take your job, you decide to start saving for your retirement. You put $5,000/yr into the co’s plan, which averages 8% interest/yr.

At age 38, you start saving for retirement. If your investment plan pays an APR of 7% and you want to have $0.9 million when you retire in 27 years, how much should you deposit monthly?

Assume that your father is now 50 years old and plans to retire after 10 years from now. He is expected to live for another 25 years after retirement. He wants a fixed retirement income of Rs. 5,00,000 per annum. His retirement income will begin the day he retires, 10 years from today, and then he will get 24 additional payments annually. Your father has current savings of Rs. 10,00,000 and he expects to earn a return on his savings @ 10% p.a., annually compounding. How much (to the nearest of rupee) must your father save during each of next 10 years to meet his retirement goal?
Problem #3: A bond with face value of $5,000 pays quarterly interest of 1.5% each period. Twenty six (26) interest payments remain before the bond matures. How much would you be willing to pay for this bond today if the next interest payment is due now and you want to earn 8% compounded quarterly on your money? Note: Coupon Rate is 1.5% per quarter. Interest rate is 2% per quarter.
[Use Excel] You are planning to buy a new car before you move to a new place for a job after graduation. You are given two options. The first one is the Toyota Prius which has an initial cost of $25,000 with miles per gallon (MPG) of 50. The second option is a regular sedan car with an initial cost of $18,000 and an MPG of 25. If the gasoline price is $ 4.50/gallon, the annual effective interest rate is 8%, beyond which annual mileage of the car you will choose Prius over the regular car. The car is supposed to stay for 10 years. [Round the final answer to an integer by round(answer,0) command]
A study by the New York Federal Reserve Bank concludes that an engineering bachelor’s degree generates approximately a 15% return on investment over the course of a decade. Suppose the typical engineering student spends $15,000 per year for four years on his/her education. What extra annual return (in dollars) does the typical student realize during the 10 years following graduation? State your assumptions.
Suppose you started a savings account and put $70 in the bank and left it there for 1 year. Also assume you put no other money in that account. If the annual interest rate is R = 0.05 (5%), then at the end of the year you would have how much in your account at the end of the year? Group of answer choices A) $73.50 B) $70.50 C) none of the other options. D) $75 E) $72.80
Should Jim sell his Minivan? Jim's 1998 minivan is quite functional, but it only averages 20 miles per gallon (mpg). He has found a somewhat newer vehicle (roughly the same functionality) that averages 26 mpg. He can sell his current minivan for $2800 and purchase the newer vehicle for $4,000. Assume a cost of gasoline $4.00 per gallon. How many miles per year must Jim drive if he wants to recover his investment in three years? Assume an interest rate of 6%, zero salvage value for either vehicle after three years, and identical maintenance cost.
Cindy and Steven are recently married and are both chefs. They have recently graduated from culinary school and are making a starting salary of $15.00 as a sous-chef. They both work 10 hour days, six days a week. Because they are chefs at a mid- level restaurant they live in the downtown core where it is located. The rent on their one bedroom apartment is $1125/month. This includes all utilities. However, they pay an additional $75 for cable and internet. Their joint cell phone bill is $60.00 and they opt not to have a landline to save money. Because they live downtown they have also chosen not to buy a car and spend about $200 a month on public transportation. They eat most meals for free at the restaurant where they work so their grocer bill is only about $200 a month. Do Cindy and Steven earn enough money to cover their expenses
1. You have been tasked with overhauling the widget assembly line in your company's factory. The overhaul will involve an initial cost of $230,000 and will have a total lifespan of 13 years. Beginning in year 3, when the overhaul is completed, you expect a decrease in operating costs of $38,000 annually. This will last for 9 years, ending in year 11. For the final 2 years (though year 13), the savings will be only $11,000 per year. What is the NPV of this cash flow at a corporate cost of money of 4%?
