If the minimum attractive rate of return is 7%, which alternative should be chosen assuming identical replacement (like kind exchange) A B
First Cost $5000 $9200
Uniform Annual Benefit $1750 $1850
Useful life ,in years 4 8

The alternative that should be chosen assuming identical replacement is:

Alternative B.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Alternatives:

                                                A            B

First Cost                           $5,000     $9,200

Uniform Annual Benefit     $1,750      $1,850

Useful life, in years                4              8

Rate of return                       7%            7%

Annuity factor                   3.387          5.971

Present value of annuity $5,927.25 $11,046.35

Net cash flow                 $927.25     $1,846.35

b) Alternative B yields a higher return than Alternative A.  Since the two alternatives are based on the same rate of return, Alternative B will bring in a higher annual benefit, even when discounted to the present value.

net worth is the difference between what you own and what you have. if you exceed your liabilities you have a positive net worth. if your liabilities are greater than your assets you have a negative net worth. its a snapshot of your financial situation. if you calculate your net worth you will see the end result of everything you've earned and spent as of now. net worth statements and all you asked of can you determine where you are, how to get where you want to be, if your spending   to much. honestly it can tell you a lot of things. i can go on, but you can paint the picture from here.
