a.The UPS battery can be fairly valued as |
the total Present Value of the probable annuity of savings in back-up power costs over the next 3 years-- at 8% discount rate |
ie.((1200*80%)+(0*20%))*2.57710= (P/A,i=8%,n=3 ) |
2474.02 |
b.Normal economic earnings |
will be the present value as above |
ie. 2472.02 |
Abnormal economic earnings |
will be the difference between the PV of the income predicted before & after the introduction of the new system |
PV of Income after the introduction of the new system: |
ie.(((1200*80%)+(0*20%))/1.08^1)+(((1200*85%)+(0*15%))/1.08^2)+(((1200*85%)+(0*15%))/1.08^3) |
2573.08 |
So, |
Abnormal economic earnings= |
2573.08-2472.02= |
101.06 |
For the year 2015, both normal & abnormal earnings are the same |
ie.((1200*80%)+(0*20%))*0.92593= (P/F,i=8%,n=1 ) |
888.89 |
