Due to the high crime rate in the city center, the state council in partnership with the police has installed CCTV in several “hotspot” areas. The installation of the CCTV cost USD1000000. The cost of CCTV maintenance in the first year is USD500,000, USD700000 in the second year, USD950000 in the third year, USD990000 in the fourth year and costs are realized at the end of each year. On the other hand, the installation of CCTV will help to reduce crime in that area and is predicted to bring about a benefit of USD2000000 for the first and second year and a benefit of USD 3000000 for the third and fourth year. At the end of the fourth year, the CCTV will be replaced by a new one and it can be resold as second hand for USD200000. Assume the discount rate of 3% is used. Calculate the present value of net benefits assuming that 40% of the benefits are realized at the beginning of the year and the balance at the end of the year.
At the beginning of Year 1 Timmy purchased a 200-acre farm in Oldham County, Texas. He immediately proceeded to begin growing crops for sale. He irrigates his crops using water from the Ogallala formation.
At the time of purchase, Timmy was advised by a qualified hydrologist that there were approximately 200,000,000 cubic meters of recoverable Ogallala water under his farm. On the basis of this report Timmy, on your advice, allocated $6 million of his $20 million purchase price to the water.
At the very beginning of Year 2 the hydrologist came back and estimated that as of that time there remained 194,000,000 cubic meters of recoverable water under Timmy’s farm. Calculate and explain Timmy’s Year 1 cost depletion deduction.

Jennifer and Rex both receive a dividend from their 401(k) retirement plan every 6 months. The earning rates for this year have been 5% per year, compounded quarterly for Jennifer, and 4.85% per year, compounded monthly for Rex. Rex felt good about this because he knew the monthly compounding on his plan would make his APY higher than Jennifer’s APY. (a) Is Rex correct? Explain your answer. (b) What is the effective rate for each plan on the basis of the payment period?

Assume your goal is to have $2 million available when you stop the annual desposits and that the fund is able to return 10% per year every year. (a) Determine if you will reach your goal for either of the following two deposit scenarios: (1) $12,000 each and every year; (2) $8000 at the end of next year for 15 years, followed by $15,000 deposits in each of years 16 through 30. (b) Determine the exact number of years necessary to accumulate the $2 million if $12,000 is deposited each year until the goal is achieved. (c) For a little more of a challenge, use only the FV function to determine the number of years necessary to attain the $2 million goal for the second deposit scenario, assuming the $15,000 is deposited annually until the goal is achieved.arrow_forwarde2arrow_forward
