Answer:

NPV = negative 37,599

Explanation:

To determine the NPV of the new sewing machine, we subtract the investment from the present value of anticipated cash inflows.

Initial investment = Cost of machine + Training expenses - Salvage value

Initial investment = 2,450,000 + 85,000 - 250,000

Initial investment = 2,285,000

Year                                      DF(9%)   Present Value

1  Cash inflow     390,000  x 0.917      $357,798

2 Cash inflow     400,000  x 0.842    $336,672

3 Cash inflow     411,000   x  0.772     $317,367

4 Cash inflow     426,000  x 0.708     $301,789

5 Cash inflow     334,100  x 0.650     $217,077       (434,100 - 100,000)

6 Cash inflow     435,000  x 0.596    $259,376

7 Cash inflow     436,000 x 0.547     $238,507

7 Salvage value 400,000 x 0.547     $218,814  

     

Present Value of cash inflow             $2,247,401

Initial investment                                $2,285,000

NPV ($2,247,401 - $2,285,000)          (37,599)    

Conclusion: Hillsong should refrain from acquiring the new machine since the NPV is negative.      

Response:

The correct choice is letter "E": Conviction.

Rationale:

The stages of buyer readiness illustrate the process that marketing identifies consumers undergo while making a purchase influenced by advertisements. These stages include: Awareness, Knowledge, Liking, Preference, Conviction, Purchase. In the stage of conviction, marketing is aimed at persuading customers of the product's appropriateness for them. The advertisement seeks to instill confidence in consumers regarding their purchasing decision. Consequently, motivating women to purchase rings for themselves fits within this stage.

Answer:

a) YTM = 9.8%

b) realized compound yield = 9.9%

Explanation:

a) PMT is 80

par value FV = 1000

coupon rate = 8%

current price PV = 953.1

years to maturity n = 3

Yield to maturity (YTM) is calculated as = = 9.8%

b) r2 = 10% = 100%+10% = 1.1

r3 = 12% = 100%+12% = 1.12

To find the realized compound yield, we first need the future value (FV) of the principal and reinvested coupons.

FV = ($80 * 1.10 * 1.12) + ($80 * 1.12) + $1080 = $1268.16

Let a be the rate at which the future value equals $1268.16.

953.1(1+y)³ = $1268.16

(1+y)³ = 1.33

1+y = 1.099

y = 0.099 = 9.9%

Response:

119.04

Clarification:

To start with,
Let x signify the balance in the first savings account.
Let y signify the balance in the second savings account.

The combined total in the accounts is $9,000, leading to the equation:
x + y = 9000                      (1)

Zack withdrew 10% from account x and 60% from account y, totaling $2,175.
Thus,
0.1x + 0.6y = 2175
or
x + 6y = 21750                  (2)

To find y, subtract equation (1) from (2):
x + 6y - (x + y) = 21750 - 9000
5y = 12750
y = 2550
Next, from (1), compute:
x = 9000 - 2550 = 6450

Consequently, the balance in the first account is
0.9*x = 0.9*6450 = $5,805, while the balance remaining in the second account is
0.4*y = 0.4*2550 = $1,020.

Final answer:
The balance in the first account is $5,805 and the balance in the second account is $1,020.
