Explanation / Answer

Question 10

The series of uniform payments that will recover an initial investment.

Initial investment implies P.

Uniform payments implies A.

So, we have to calculate A given the value of P.

Calculate A -

A = P(A/P, i, n)

Hence, the correct answer is the option (d).

Question 11

Present value of a geometrically increasing amount is calculated as follows -

P = A(P/A, g, i, n)

Hence, the correct answer is the option (d).

Question 12

Total liabilities = $240 million

Total shareholders' equity = $480 million

Calculate Total assets -

Total assets = Total liabilities + Total shareholders' equity

Total assets = $240 million + $480 million = $720 million

Total assets are $720 million.

Hence, the correct answer is the option (c).

Question 13

Total assets = $720 million

Total liabilities = $240 million

Calculate the debt ratio -

Debt ratio = (Total liabilities/Total assets) * 100

Debt ratio = ($240 million/$720 million) * 100

Debt ratio = 33.33%

The debt ratio is 33.33%.

Hence, the correct answer is the option (b).
