Solutions

Expert Solution

Question 1:

The Amount the company receives at the end of the lease period is calculated by the formula:

Amount = Principal x (1+r)ⁿ

Explanation:

Amount = Amount we receive after n number of years

Principal = Amount deposited today

r= Compound interest rate

n= number of years deposit is made.

Therefore amount to be received by company after 11 years = $12290(1+0.05)¹¹ = $12290 x 1.71034 = $21020.

So the company will receive $21020 after 11 years.

Question 2: Whenever we compare two financial numbers we should consider time value of money. Immediate bonus of $71500 and deferred bonus of $91000 cannot be compared as it is. We need to consider time value of money and calculate the present value of deferred bonus and then compare.

The formula for calculating present value of an amount is Amount/(1+r)ⁿ

Explanation:

Amount = Future amount receivable

r = Interest Rate

n = number of years of deferrment

Therefore the present value of deferred bonus is $91000/(1+0.04)¹⁰ = $91000/(1.04)¹⁰ = $91000/1.48024 = $61,477

Since the present value of deferred bonus is less than the amount of immediate bonus Walters are recommended to accept immediate bonus form of settlement.
