Tongda is a private enterprise in Shenyang. In its early days, it outsourced its accounting to Jinhua. Now, Tongda has gradually expanded its scale and hired a college graduate Wang Ping as its accountant. Wang Ping has not been formally trained as an accountant and lacks of experience. He asks us for help regarding the following: (1) On January 1, 2002, Tongda intends to lease a universal machine from Shenyang Trust and Investment Corporation. The lease agreement states an annual payment of RMB 5,600 made at the end of each year till December 31, 2007. Usually, Shenyang Trust and Investment Corporation charges an all-in-one rate of 5% for such arrangements. But when Red Star Machine Tool Works learns this, it proposes to sell the same machine at RMB 28,000.
Wang Ping doesn’t know which option is better. (2) Tongda intends to set up a Scholarship Fund at Northeastern University on August 2002 . Starting from August 2003, every year the fund will award RMB10,000 to 1 special prize winner, RMB 5,000 each to 2 first prize winners , RMVB3,000 each to 3 second prize winners, and RMB 1,000 each to 4 third prize winners. The current annual interest rate of bank deposits is 4% , and Tongda predicts no change in the interest rates in short term. Wang Ping does not know how much to deposit with the bank. In addition, Wang Ping has a monthly income of about 3,000 yuan, and his living expenses are about 1,500 yuan a month. Wang Ping plans to buy a flat. His parents offer to pay the down payment for him, so he will only need to repay bank loan in monthly installments. He wants to know he can afford a flat of about how much money.

I need a biography of the 1994 Nobel prize winner in economics. (John Nash) Statistically, it would seem improbable that any mathematician or scientist, at the age of 66, would be able through continued research efforts, to add much to his or her previous achievements.

Chapter 7 Example
Assume that you recently went to work for Allied Components Company, a supplier of auto repair parts used in the after-market with products from Daimler Chrysler, Ford, and other auto makers. Your boss, the chief financial officer (CFO), has just handed you the estimated cash flows for two proposed projects. Project L involves adding a new item to the firm’s ignition system line; it would take some time to build up the market for this product, so the cash inflows would increase over time. Project S involves an add-on to an existing line, and its cash flows would decrease over time. Both projects have 3-year lives, because Allied is planning to introduce entirely new models after 3 years.
