Suppose that your business has an opportunity to buy a machine that produces widgets. The machine can produce 13,500 widgets per year that you can sell for a profit of $1.60 per widget. With proper maintenance, the machine can run indefinitely. You decide that your minimum annual rate of return for any investment is 12 percent. What is the maximum price you would be willing to pay for the machine? Instructions: Round your answer to the nearest dollar. Maximum price =

Yogajothi is thinking of investing in a rental house. The total cost to purchase the house, including legal fees and taxes, is $240,000. All but $30,000 of this amount will be mortgaged. He will pay $1700 per month in mortgage payments. At the end of two years, he will sell the house and at that time expects to clear $50,000 after paying off the remaining mortgage principal (in other words, he will pay off all his debts for the house and still have $50,000 left). Rents will earn him $2500 per month for the first year and $2900 per month for the second year. The house is in fairly good condition now, so he doesn't expect to have any maintenance costs for the first six months. For the seventh month, Yogajothi has budgeted $500. This figure will be increased by $50 per month thereafter (e.g., the expected month 7 expense will be $500, month 8, $550, month 9, $600, etc.). If interest is 6 percent compounded monthly, what is the present worth of this investment? Given that Yogajothi's…
Clorox is thinking about introudcing a new brand of cleaning products. Marketing and developing the new products will cost 585 million dollars. In one year, the new products will generate a cash flow of 32 million dollars. In two years, the new products will generate a cash flow of 59 million dollars. In three years, the new products will generate a cash flow of 83 million dollars. After that, cash flows are expected to grow by 2% forever. If the cost of capital is 11%, what is the NPV of this project (in millions)? (Enter your answer in millions. i.e. 5.5 million, not 5,500,000 )

You own a 10-acre blueberry farm. You could farm the land yourself or rent it out for $7,000 per year. Another option is to sell the land this year at its current market price of $80,000. The price of the land next year will be $78,000. If you sell it, your group has an investment opportunity from which you expect to make a return of 6 percent per year. What is the opportunity cost to you of using the land to grow blueberries for a year? O a. $2,000 O b. $4,800 OC. $5,000 d. $9,800

"A corporation is trying to decide whether to buy the patent for a product designed by another company. The decision to buy will mean an investment of $9.6 million, and the demand for the product is not known. If demand is light, the company expects a return of $2 million each year for the first three years and no return in the fourth year. If demand is moderate, the return will be $2.73 million each year for four years, and high demand means a return of $5.4 million each year for four years. It is estimated the probability of a high demand is 0.47, and the probability of a light demand is 0.21. The firm's interest rate is 15.7%.Calculate the expected present worth of the patent. Express your answer in millions of dollars. For example, if the answer is $12.3 million, enter 12.3. (All figures represent after-tax values.)"
