Metalfab Pump and Filter Inc. estimates that the cost of steel bodies for pressure valves will increase by $2 every 3 months. If the cost for the first quarter is expected to be $80, what is the present worth of the costs for a 4.000-year time period at an interest rate of 1.180% per quarter? (Round the final answer to three decimal places.) The present worth is $

How much money should you be willing to pay now for a guaranteed 6,000 pesos per year for 9 years starting next year, at a rate of return of 16% per year?
A person’s credit score is important in determining the interest rate they have to pay on a home mortgage. According to Consumer Credit Counseling Service, a homeowner with a $100,000 mortgage and a 580 credit score will pay $90,325 more in interest charges over the life of a 30-year loan than a homeowner with the same mortgage and a credit score of 720. How much higher would the interest rate per year have to be in order to account for this much difference in interest charges, if the $100,000 loan is repaid in a single lump sum payment at the end of 30 years?
An entrepreneurial electrical engineer has approached a large utility with a proposal that promises to reduce the utility’s power bill by at least 15% per year for the next 5 years through installation of patented surge protectors. The proposal states that the engineer will get $20,000 now and annual payments that are equivalent to 75% of the power savings achieved from the devices. Assuming the savings are the same every year at 15% and that the utility’s power bill is $1 million per year, what would be the equivalent uniform amount for years 1 to 5 of the payments to the engineer at an interest rate of 6% per year?
Calculate the equivalent future cost in year 10 for the following series of disbursements at an interest rate of 10% per year. Also, write a single-cell spreadsheet function that will determine the future worth. Year Disbursement, $ Year Disbursement, $ 0 5 4000 1 4000 6 5000 2 4000 7 5000 3 4000 8 5000 4 4000 9 5000
You found a report stating that the equivalent annual worth of chemical costs associated with a water treatment process were $125,000 per year for a 5-year period. The report stated that the cost in year 1 was $190,000 and the cost decreased by a uniform amount each year over that 5-year period. However, it did not say how much the decrease was each year. If the interest rate was 20% per year, the amount of the annual decrease, G, is closest to: (a) $27,358 (b) $31,136 (c) $33,093 (d) $39,622
The current cost of liability insurance for a consulting firm is $65,000 per year. If the cost is expected to increase by 4% each year, what will be the cost 5 years from now?
Hewlett-Packard has completed a study indicating that $50,000 in reduced maintenance this year (i.e., year zero) on one of its processing lines resulted from improved wireless monitoring technology.a. If Hewlett-Packard considers these types of savings worth 20% per year,find the equivalent value of this result after 5 years.b. If the $50,000 maintenance savings occurs now, find its equivalent value3 years earlier with interest at 20% per year.
Health informatics is making use of monitoring devices, microelectronic mechanical systems, and wireless integrated microsystems (WIMS). Monitoring of patients, alerting health professionals when a patient needs attention, and even automatically releasing drugs as needed, are becoming possible through engineering. If the cost savings in a local healthcare center is estimated to be $20,000,000 during the 7th year from now, what investment today would be justified for just that one year's savings if the time value of money is 12% per year?
Your grandfather made a save account with the interest of 10% per year, to that account worth a value of 100 dollars on your 25th birthday, how much your grandfather deposit on the day you were born?
Sonia’s house is worth $350,000. Homes have been appreciating at 5.7% per year for several years. If this trend continues, what will Sonia’s house be worth 15 years from now?
Suppose that the installation of Low-Loss thermal windows is expected to save $450 per year on your home heating bill. If you expect to occupy your home for 40 years and could earn 6% per year on other investments, how much can you for the pay now to have the new windows installed?
To make CDs look more attractive as an investment than they really are, some banks advertise that their rates are higher than their competitors' rates; however, the fine print says that the rate is based on simple interest. If you were to deposit $30,000 at 9% per year simple interest in a CD, what compound interest rate would yield the same amount of money in 3 years? The compound interest rate that would yield the same amount of money in 3 years is 1% per year.
