I don’t know how to handle this Business question and need guidance.
Important General Instructions for Reporting Numerical Answers:
– Do not round intermediate calculations.
– Report numerical answers to 2 decimal places.
– Unless otherwise instructed, solve problems in the given units. IE: if given units are in $K, complete your computations in these units and, as applicable, report your answer in these units (without writing “$” or “K”).
– Do not report any numerical answer as a percent. IE: for example, write
0.324 instead of 32.4%.
– Report negative numbers with a leading minus sign, like this (for example):
-23.451
Not like this: (23.451).
– Note that Canvas removes trailing insignificant figures. If you type, for example, 41.350, Canvas will remove the last decimal place and record your answer as 41.35 This is fine because 41.35 = 41.350.
– Assume time is measured in years unless otherwise stated.

Q11:
Medical Lessors, Inc (MLI) buys an x-ray machine for $200K. On the same day (EOY 0), the firm leases the machine to Radiology, Inc. (RI) for six years, via a six-year, uniform-payment, annuity-due contract with 10% interest. Payments are made annually.

A. yes
B. No
Q12:
Medical Lessors, Inc (MLI) buys an x-ray machine for $200K. On the same day (EOY 0), the firm leases the machine to Radiology, Inc. (RI) for six years, via a six-year, uniform-payment, annuity-due contract with 10% interest. Payments are made annually. What is the amount of the uniform payment?

Q17:
A project has these cash flows
PVtot 1,000
CF1 500 at T = 1 year
CF2 600 at T = 3 years
Write an algebraic equation to use as a start-point for finding the r of this project.
A. 1,000 = (500 + 600) / (1+r)^3
B. 0 = 1,000 + (500 + 600) / (1+r)^3
C. 1,000 = (500 + 600) / (1+r)^2
D. 1,000 = 500/(1+r) + 600/(1+r)^2
E. 1,000 = 500/(1+r) + 600/(1+r)^3
