Answer ; (a) Profit = 7,197.59

(b) Break-even rate = 15.10%

Explanation:

Question 1 :

Ahmed should opt for big bonus on signing day of the contract and smaller payments in future. Because as per time value of money concept money received tomorrow is lesser than the same money received today this means you can buy lesser things from same amount of money compared to things bought today. So as per this concept if Ahmed receives big bonus on signing contract and smaller payment in future will have greater value compared to other option i.e. small amount now and bigger payments in future.

Where as Aljazeera would like to have small amount now and bigger payments in future by opting this option club would end up paying lesser money in today's time. Than means present value of this option would be lesser than the another option which is paying big bonus today and smaller future payments.

Question 2:

Present value of generator = FV / (1+r)^n

= 165,000 / (1 + 0.13)^4

= 165,000 / 1.6305

= 101,197.59

Profit = 101,197.59 - 94,000 = 7,197.59

The firm will make profit of 7,197.59 if they sell this generator.

Break-even rate can be calculated by using the following excel formula:

=RATE(nper,pmt,pv,fv)

=RATE(4,0,-94000,165000)

= 15.10%

Break-even rate = 15.10%
