Question1: A software company that installs systems for inventory control using RFID technology spent $500,000 per year for the past 5 years in developing its latest product. The company wants to recover its investment in 4 years beginning 2 years from now. If the company signed a contract that will pay $250,000, 2 years from now and amounts increasing by a uniform amount each year through year 6, how much must the increase be each year, if the company uses an interest rate of 11% per year? · Draw the cash flow diagram: Question2: An environmental testing company needs to purchase $40,000 worth of equipment 2 years from now. At an interest rate of 18% per year compounded semiannually. Find the present worth of the amount expected to be paid using the two methods (the Nominal interest rate, and the effective interest rate). • Nominal interest rate: - Effective interest rate:

Expert Solution

Cost per year from last 5 years = 500,000

Revenue in first year = 250,000

Interest rate = 11%

Year Cost Present value of cost Revenue Present value of revenue
1        500,000      450,450.45 -  
2        500,000      405,811.22 -  
3        500,000      365,595.69 -  
4        500,000      329,365.49 -  
5        500,000      296,725.66 -  
6 - - -  
7 - - -  
8 - -         250,000                          108,481.62
9 - - 250,000 + X 97,731.19 + 0.391X
10 - - 250,000 + 2X 88,046.12 + 0.704X
11 - - 250,000 + 3X 79,320.83 + 0.952X
    1,847,948.51   373,579.75 + 2.047X

Present value of cost and revenue must be same to recover investment,

1,847,948.51 = 373,579.75 + 2.047X

X = 720,258.31

Annual uniform increase must be 720,258.31
