1.
P=50/(1+10%)+100/(1+10%)^2+150/(1+10%)^3+200/(1+10%)^4=$377.399
Option C i.e. $377 is correct.
2.
P=30/(1+15%)^0+20/(1+15%)^1+20/(1+15%)^2+30/(1+15%)^3=82.2397
Option B i.e. $83 is correct.
3.
Periodic Cash inflows=C=$50
Number of periods=n=5
PV of cash inflows=Co+ C/r*(1-1/(1+r)^n)=50+50/12%*(1-1/(1+12%)^5)=230.2388
PV of cash outflows=Q/(1+12%)^1
So, Q/1.12=230.2388
Q=257.8675
Option C i.e. $258 is correct
4.
P=50/(1+10%)^4+120/(1+10^)^5+50/(1+10%)^6+120/(1+10%)^7+50/(1+10%)^8+120/(1+10%)^9=$272.68
Correct option is $275
5.
(P/G,I,n)=((1+i)^n-(i*n)-1)/(i^2*(1+i)^n)=((1+6%)^7-(6%*7)-1)/(6%^2*(1+6%)^7)= 15.44969
PV of cash inflows=100*15.44969=1544.969
PV of cash outflows=P/(1+6%)^1
P/(1+6%)^1=1544.969
P=1544.969*1.06=1637.667
Option A i.e. $1640 is correct.
6.
The interest rate is 10 %
PV of costs=-30000/(1+10%)^0-5000/(1+10%)^5=-33104.61
Option C i.e. $33100 is correct
7.
PV of ...
