PrefAce

introductionContemporary Business Mathematics with Canadian Applications is intended for use in introductory mathematics of finance courses in post-secondary business manage-ment, marketing, accounting, and fi ance programs. It also provides a review of basic mathematics.

The primary objective of the text is to increase the students knowledge and skill in the solution of practical fi ancial and operational problems encountered in operating a business.

orgAnizAtionContemporary Business Mathematics with Canadian Applications is a teaching text using problem-identifi ation and problem-solving approaches. The systematic and sequential development of the material is illustrated by examples that show a step-by-step approach to solving the problem. The detailed solutions are presented in a visually clear and colourful layout that allows learners to monitor their own progress in the classroom or in independent study.

Each topic in each chapter is followed by practice exercises containing numerous drill questions and application problems. At the end of each chapter, Review Exercises, Self-Test, and a Case Study integrate the material presented.

The fi st four chapters and Appendix I (Further Review of Basic Algebra) are intended for students with little or no background in algebra and provide an opportunity to review arithmetic and algebraic processes.

The text is based on Canadian practice, and reflects current trends using avail-able technologyspecifi ally the availability of preprogrammed fi ancial calculators. Students using this book should have access to calculators having a power function and a natural logarithm function. The use of such calculators eliminates the constraints associated with manually calculating results using formulas.

In solving problems involving multiple steps, often values are determined that will be used in further computations. Such values should not be rounded and all available digits should be retained in the calculator. Using the memory functions of the calcula-tor enables the student to retain such non-rounded values.

w hen using the memory the student needs to be aware that the number of digits retained in the registers of the calculator is greater than the number of digits displayed. Depending on whether the memory or the displayed digits are used, slight differences may occur.

Students are encouraged to use preprogrammed fi ancial calculators. The use of these preprogrammed calculators facilitates the solving of most fi ancial problems and is demonstrated extensively in Chapters 9 to 16.

New To This ediTioNThe Tenth Edition of Hummelbrunner/Halliday/Coombs, Contemporary Business Mathematics with Canadian Applications, includes updates based on changes in cur-rent practices in Canadian fi ance and business and the needs of students and instruc-tors using this book.

Th s edition continues to clarify the consistent approach to rounding rules. The Students Reference Guide to Rounding and Special Notation (pages xxxxiii) gives a clear explanation of the rounding conventions used throughout the text. Additional Pointers and Pitfalls boxes are placed in key areas to remind students about the rounding conventions and exceptions in practice.

The text and solutions manual have been thoroughly technically checked for accu-racy and consistency with the rounding approach.

Tables, charts, and further diagrams have been added to enable the learner to visual-ize the problems and the solutions.

Numerous new examples and exercises have been added. Chapter 5 has been signifi antly revised with emphasis on the relationships between

parts of CVP. Break-even charts are integrated with theory by introducing them after explanations of revenue and cost behaviour.

Chapter 6 has been signifi antly revised with standardized formulas and wording, illustrated by visual approaches to solving the problems.

Canadian references have been emphasized in Business Math News Boxes and website references.

Interest rates refl ct current investment and borrowing rates.

Many examples and exercises have been updated, rewritten, and expanded. To enhance the building-block approach, exercises are ordered to link the topics and the solved examples. Help references have been expanded to link selected exercises to solved examples.

Specifi ally, in Chapter 1 (Review of Arithmetic), prices, salaries, and wages have been updated. Revised rates and calculations for GST/PST/HST have been included to incorporate new legislation for 2012 and property tax terminology and valuations have been updated.

In Chapter 2 (Review of Algebra), the chapter-opening vignette emphasizes why business students need algebra, and new exercises have been added to utilize formulas for simple and compound interest. Calculator solutions have been introduced for sev-eral examples and formulas have been simplifi d.

In Chapter 3 (Ratio, Proportion, and Percent), a consistent approach for calculat-ing proportions has been introduced, and formulas throughout the chapter have been updated for consistency. Drill questions have been replaced by more word problems, and alternative solutions have been included. Currency conversion rates, prices, CPI numbers, and personal income taxes have been updated.

In Chapter 4 (Linear Systems), the comparison/substitution method for solving the point of intersection of two linear systems has been emphasized. A new Business Math News Box ties more closely to the chapter-opening vignette and introduces a manufacturing capacity example.

The order of Chapter 5 and Chapter 6 has been switched in the Tenth Edition to improve the fl w of content from Linear Systems (Chapter 4) to Cost-Volume-Profit Analysis and Break-Even (Chapter 5). Th s chapter has been changed signifi antly, beginning with an updated title to refl ct break-even as an application of the profit function, not the focus of the chapter. The opening vignette now includes an exam-ple that connects with the Business Math News Box presented later in the chapter. The

p r e f a c exii


p r E f a c E xiii

number of formulas has been reduced, and solutions to examples use a simplifi d approach for calculating break-even.

Chapter 6 (Trade Discounts, Cash Discounts, Markup, and Markdown) has changed signifi antly. For consistency and clarity, terminology and explanations have been simplifi d and formulas have been standardized. New Pointers and Pitfalls boxes provide tools to help students rearrange formulas, determine the number of days in a discount period, and calculate markup. A sample invoice demonstrates payment terms and cash discounts. EOG and ROG examples that appeared in the Eighth Edition of the text have been added back in this edition.

In Chapter 7 (Simple Interest), the chapter-opening vignette ties in with the chapters Business Math News Box. Dates and interest rates have been updated and new exercises have been added, with exercises referenced to examples. Additional comments for choosing focal dates have been added, with a section included show-ing an example of the use of Excel functions.

In Chapter 8 (Simple Interest Applications), the use of grace periods has been updated, with exercises omitting its use. Comments on credit ratings, credit scores, home equity lines of credit, and new exercises using credit cards have been added. Treasury bill interest rates have been updated to refl ct current rates. A new Business Math News Box addresses the question, How do you learn about money?

In Chapter 9 (Compound InterestFuture Value and Present Value), visual explanations have been expanded. The introduction to Future Value, and explana-tion of the periodic rate of interest, have been simplifi d. The relationship between n and m has been clarifi d, with a new formula added to explain the calculation of n. The calculation of a partial year to a rounded number has been eliminated, keep-ing the year as a fraction. A new section showing Excels FV and PV calculations is included, with visual examples. New figures have been added. The number of review and self-test exercises has been reduced to eliminate duplication. Formulas have been simplifi d with the elimination of references to S and P.

In Chapter 10 (Compound InterestFurther Topics), formula variations have been identifi d, explained, and illustrated. A Pointers and Pitfalls box has been added to address formula rearrangement. Several examples have been rearranged to show the simpler examples fi st. New sections have been added to illustrate the use of Excel functions. New exercises and new charts are included. The issue of debt repayment is addressed in a new Business Math News Box.

In Chapter 11 (Ordinary Simple Annuities) and in Chapter 12 (Ordinary General Annuities), new business application exercises and examples with dia-grams have been included. New Pointers and Pitfalls boxes have been added to remind students about clearing calculator inputs, using inversion techniques when calculating, understanding the term payment, and the calculators positive/nega-tive sign convention. The explanation regarding the purpose of method for present value calculations has been expanded. A new Business Math News Box refers to a popular and successful Canadian entrepreneur.

In Chapter 13 (Annuities Due, Deferred Annuities, and Perpetuities), expla-nations, diagrams, and calculations for annuities due are simplifi d. The order of some examples has been changed to provide a more logical and intuitive learning sequence. New examples with diagrams have been added, including reference to investments in preferred shares. A new Pointers and Pitfalls box reminds the reader how to calculate periodic interest rates on the calculator.

In Chapter 14 (Amortization of Loans, Including Residential Mortgages), a new section with a diagram develops the skills to fi d the interest, principal, and


p r E f a c Exiv

balance for a period, and bridges between fi ding the payment and constructing the amortization schedule. The introduction to residential mortgages has been updated to refl ct current legislation on mortgage insurance. Examples and exercises have been reordered and clarifi d to enhance building-block learning.

In Chapter 15 (Bond Valuation and Sinking Funds), explanation of basic concepts has been expanded to answer the why? questions. The order has been changed, with a focus on calculation of bond price under different conditions. An introductory section has been added for concept comprehension. Calculating the purchase price of a bond has been separated into two sections based on whether or not the market rate equals or does not equal the bond rate. A new Business Math News Box describes and discusses Canada Savings Bonds.

In Chapter 16 (Investment Decision Applications), explanations begin the sec-tion on Net Present Value, followed by introductory, then more advanced, applications. Repetitive calculator instructions have been eliminated. Computing the Rate of Return by manual methods has been condensed and new visuals have been added.

comPreHenSive cASe StudieSComprehensive case studies for each part of the book have been created. The ques-tions within each case study have been separated by chapter or group of chapters to facilitate the use of these case studies by those institutions that include only some of the topics in their course syllabus. w ith the questions separated and identifi d by chapter, these institutions can use part of the case study in their courses.

Using the Texas Instruments BA II PlUs to solve Compound Interest ProblemsFollow the steps below to compute the future value of a sum of money using the for-mula FV = PV(1 + i)n and a Texas Instruments BA II Plu S calculator. Compare your result with that in Example 9.2A.

pre-calculation phase (initial Setup)

s T E P 1 The P/Y register, and behind it, the C/Y register, must be set to match the calculators performance to the text presentation. The P/Y register is used to represent the number of regular payments per year. If the text of the question does not discuss regular pay-ments per year, this should be set to equal the C/Y in the calculator. The C/Y register is used to represent the number of compounding periods per year; that is, the com-pounding frequency. The description of the compounding frequency is usually con-tained within the phrase that describes the nominal interest rate. An example would be 8% p.a. compounded quarterly. This means that the nominal, or annual, interest rate of 8% is compounded four times each year at 8%/4, or 2%, each period. The com-pounding frequency of 4 is entered into the C/Y register within the calculator.

Notes: 1. The periodic rate of interest, (i ) is entered as a percent and not as a decimal equivalent (as it is when using the algebraic method to solve compound interest problems). For example, 8% is entered as 8 not .08. With some calculators, the rate of interest is the periodic rate. In the case of the BA II Plus, the rate of interest entered is the nominal rate per year I/Y .

2. The periodic annuity payment function key PMT is used only for annuity calculations, which are introduced in Chapter 11.

are given in Appendix II for the Sharp EL-738C and the Hewlett-Packard 10bII+ financial calculators.

Each part opens with an introduction to the upcoming chapters and a discussion of the rounding conventions that are relevant to these chapters.

A set of Learning Objectives is listed at the beginning of each chapter. The correspond-ing Learning Objectives are also indicated for each Review Exercise, allowing students to see which aspects of the chapter they have mastered.

Each chapter opens with a description of a situation familiar to students to emphasize the practical applications of the material to follow.

A Business Math News Box is presented in every chapter. This element consists of short excerpts based on material appearing in newspa-pers, magazines, or websites, followed by a set of questions. These boxes demonstrate how wide-spread business math applications are in the real world.

The Pointers and Pitfalls boxes emphasize good practices, highlight ways to avoid com-mon errors, show how to use a fi ancial calcula-tor effici tly, or give hints for tackling business math situations to reduce math anxiety.

Numerous Examples with worked-out Solutions are provided throughout the book, offering easy-to-follow, step-by-step instructions.

Programmed solutions using the Texas Instruments BA II PLUS calculator are offered for most examples in Chapters 9 to 16. Since this calcu-lator display can be pre-set, it is suggested that the learner set the display to show six decimal places to match the mathematical calculations in the body of the text.

ali owes money on a loan and is wondering how much this loan is costing him in interest. if the debt is paid back over a long period of time, how much interest will he have to pay? Can he reduce the amount of interest? most Canadians hold debt and, with currently low interest rates, pay relatively low amounts of interest. if interest rates were to rise, how much more interest would he have to pay? if he made the same payment, how much longer will it take to repay his debt? How much debt is too much? many people reduce their debt by making earlier or extra payments. the key to manag-ing debt is knowledge of how much is owed, what interest rate is charged, and how long it takes to repay the debt.

I n t r o d u c t I o nAn annuity is a series of payments, usually of equal size, made at periodic time inter-vals. The term annuity applies to all periodic payment plans, the most frequent of which require annual, semi-annual, quarterly, or monthly payments. Practical applica-tions of annuities are widely encountered in the fi ances of both businesses and indi-viduals. Various types of annuities are identifi d based on the term of an annuity, the date of payment, and the length of the conversion period. In this chapter, we will deal with ordinary simple annuities, and calculate the future value, present value, payment amount, number of periods, and the interest rate.

11.1 intrOdUCtiOn tO AnnUitieSA. basic concepts

An annuity is a series of equal payments, made at periodic intervals. The length of time between the successive payments is called the payment interval or payment period. The length of time from the beginning of the fi st payment interval to the end of the last payment interval is called the term of an annuity. The amount of each of the regu-lar payments is called the periodic payment, or periodic rent.

When performing annuity calculations, the timing of payments must be consid-ered. Depending on the frequency and regularity of payments, different formulas will be used in annuity calculations. When a payment is made only once, it is treated as either the present value, PV, or the future value, FV, of a calculation. When there are a series of payments, it must be determined if the payments are equal amounts and are paid at the same time within each payment interval of the term. If the payment is equal and periodic, it is treated as the periodic payment, PMT, of an annuity calculation. The types of annuities are described in Section B below.

b. types of annuities 1. Simple and general annuities Annuities are classified by the length of the conversion period relative to the

payment period (Section 9.1). With a simple annuity, the conversion peri-od is the same length as the payment interval. An example is when there are monthly payments on a loan for which the interest is compounded monthly. Since the interest compounding period (C/Y: compounding periods per year) is equal to the payment period (P/Y: payment periods per year), this is a simple annuity.

With a general annuity, the conversion period and the payment interval are not equal. An example would be a residential mortgage for which interest is compounded semi-annually but payments may be made monthly, semi-monthly, bi-weekly, or weekly. The conversion period, C/Y, does not equal the payment period, P/Y.

2. Ordinary annuities and annuities due Annuities are classified by the date of payment. In an ordinary annuity,

payments are made at the end of each payment period. In an annuity due, pay-ments are made at the beginning of each payment period. Loan payments, mort-gage payments, and interest payments on bonds are all examples of ordinary

5.2 COnTrIBUTIOn MArgIn AnD COnTrIBUTIOn rATEA. Contribution margin

As an alternative to using the break-even relationship TOTAL REVENUE 5 TOTAL COST, we can use the concepts of contribution margin and contribution rate to deter-mine break-even volume and sales.

For Erics birdhouse project, each additional birdhouse sold increases the revenue by $30. However, at the same time, costs increase by the variable cost (materials and supplies) of $10 per birdhouse. As a result, the profit increases by the difference, which is 30 2 10 5 $20. Th s difference of $20, which is the selling price of a unit less the vari-able cost per unit, is the contribution margin per unit.

CONTRIBUTION MARGIN

PER UNIT=

SELLING PRICE

PER UNIT

VARIABLE COST

PER UNIT

or, CM PER UNIT = SP VC Formula 5.2

When the contribution margin per unit is multiplied by the number of units, the result is the total contribution margin.

TOTAL CONTRIBUTION

MARGIN= aSELLING PRICE

PER UNIT

VARIABLE COST

PER UNITb VOLUME

or, TOTAL CM = (SP VC) X Formula 5.3

Using the contribution margin format, Formula 5.1 can be rewritten as

(SP VC) X FC = PFT

Formula 5.1B

For Erics birdhouse business, if Eric sells zero units, revenue is $0 and variable cost is $0. Total cost then equals fi ed cost, which is $400. His profit is 2$400 (a loss); that is, his loss equals the fi ed cost.

If Eric sells one birdhouse, revenue increases by $30; total cost increases by $10 to $410; profit 5 30 2 410 5 2$380 (a loss). The sale of one unit decreases the loss by $20; that is, the contribution margin of $20 has absorbed $20 in fi ed cost.

If Eric sells 10 birdhouses, total revenue 5 10($30) 5 $300; variable costs 5 10($10) 5 $100 and total costs 5 400 1 100 5 $500; the loss 5 300 2 500 5 2$200. The reduction in loss is $200. Th s reduction in loss represents the contribution margin for 10 units, which has absorbed $200 in fi ed costs.

The break-even volume is reached when the accumulated contribution margin of a number of units covers the fi ed costs. We use Formula 5.4 to compute the break-even volume in units.

BREAK@EVEN VOLUME (in units) =FIXED COST

UNIT CONTRIBUTION MARGIN Formula 5.4

In Erics case, since the fi ed cost is $400 and the contribution margin per unit is $20, the break-even volume is 20 units.

BREAK@EVEN VOLUME (in units) =$400

$20= 20 units

To prove that 20 units is the break-even point, multiply the number by the contribution margin, $20, to equal the fi ed costs, $400.

StudentS reference guide to rounding And SPeciAl notAtionS

Developed by Jean-Paul Olivier, based on the textbook authored by Kelly Halliday and Suzanne Coombs

Universal Principle of Rounding: w hen performing a sequence of operations, never round any interim solution until the fi al answer is achieved. Only apply rounding principles to the fi al answer. Interim solutions should only be rounded where com-mon practice would require rounding.

Note: Due to space limitations, the textbook only shows the fi st 6 decimals (rounded) of any number. Starting in Chapter 11, because the calculator display may not have suffici t space for all 6 decimals, as many decimals as possible will be shown. However, the Universal Principle of Rounding still applies.

Section 1.2

1. For repeating decimals, use the notation of placing a period above the repeating sequence. E.g. 13 = 0.333333 . . . = 0.3

#

2. For terminating decimals, if they terminate within the fi st 6 decimal places, then carry all the decimals in your fi al answer.

3. For non-terminating decimals, round to 6 decimals unless specifi d or logically sound to do so otherwise. If the fi al digits would be zeros, the zeros are generally not displayed.

4. Calculations involving money are rounded to 2 decimals as their fi al answer. Interim solutions may be rounded to 2 decimals if the situation dictates (for example, if you withdraw money from an account). If the calculation does not involve cents, it is optional to display the decimals.

Section 1.4

1. Hourly rate calculations for salaried employees require that all the decimals should be carried until the fi al answer is achieved. If the solution is to express the hourly rate or overtime rate itself, then rounding to 2 decimals is appropriate.

2. Overtime hourly wage rate calculations should carry all decimals of the overtime rate until the fi al answer is achieved.

Section 3.3

1. Calculations involving percentages will only involve 4 decimal positions since there are only 6 decimals in decimal format.

Section 3.7

1. Larger sums of money usually are involved in currency exchanges. Therefore, the two decimal rule for money is insuffici t. To produce a more accurate result, currency exchange rates need to carry at least four decimals.

2. It needs to be recognized that not all currencies utilize the same decimals when expressing amounts.

(a) Final currency amounts for the Canadian Dollar, U.S. Dollar, British Pound, Euro, and Swiss Franc should be rounded to the standard two decimal places.

(b) Final currency amounts for the Japanese Yen should be rounded to the near-est integer, as there are no decimal amounts in their currency.

3. Price per litre of gasoline is generally expressed to three decimal points (129.9/L = $1.299/L)

Part 1


s t u d E n t s r E f E r E n c E g u i d E t o r o u n d i n g a n d s p E c i a l n o t a t i o n s xxi

Section 3.8

1. As indexes are similar to percentages, an index will only have 4 decimals.

Section 5.1

1. w hen calculating break-even units, remember that the solution is the mini-mum number of units that must be sold. As such, any decimals must be rounded upwards to the next integer, regardless of the actual value of the decimal. For example, 38.05 units means 39 units must be sold to at least break even.

Section 7.2d

1. t is always an integer. It is important to note in this calculation that in most instances the interest (I) earned or charged to the account has been rounded to two decimals. Th s will cause the calculation of t to be slightly imprecise. Therefore, when calculating t it is possible that decimals close to an integer (such as 128.998 days or 130.012 days) may show up. These decimals should be rounded to the nearest integer to correct for the rounded interest amount.

Section 9.2d

1. In determining when it is appropriate to round, it is important to recognize that if the money remains inside an account (deposit or loan), all of the decimals need to carry forward into the next calculation. For example, if a bank deposit of $2000 earns 6% p.a. compounded monthly for 4 years, and then earns 7% p.a. com-pounded quarterly for three more years, then the money remained in the account the whole time. w e can solve this in one step as follows:

FV = 2000.00(1.005)48 (1.0175)12 = $3129.06Or two steps as follows:

FV = 2000.00(1.005)48 = $2540.978322FV = 2540.978322(1.0175)12 = $3129.06

Note that the fi st step is an interim calculation, for which we must carry forward all the decimals to the next step where the solution can then be rounded.

(a) If money is withdrawn/transferred from the account at any time, then only 2 decimals can be carried forward to any further steps (since a currency pay-out can only involve 2 decimals).

Section 9.4c

1. In promissory notes, the FV solution in the fi st step must be rounded to 2 deci-mals before discounting as this is the amount of the debt that will be repaid on the maturity date.

Section 9.5b

1. w hen calculating equivalent values for more than one payment, each payment is a separate transaction (one could make each payment separate from any other payment) and therefore any equivalent value is rounded to two decimals before summing multiple payments.

Section 10.1

1. w hen determining the n for non-annuity calculations (lump-sum amounts), gen-erally the solution would not be rounded off since n can be fractional in nature (we can get 4.5632 quarters).

(a) However, when n is discussed, the n may be simplifi d to 2 decimals so that it is easier to communicate. For example, if n = 5.998123 years this would mean

Part 2

Part 3


s t u d E n t s r E f E r E n c E g u i d E t o r o u n d i n g a n d s p E c i a l n o t a t i o n s

a term of slightly under 6 years. However, when discussed it may be spoken simply as a term of 6.00 years. Alternatively if n = 17.559876 months this would mean a little more than half way through the 17th month. However, when discussed it may be spoken as a term of approximately 17.56 months.

(b) An exception to this rule is when the n gets converted into days. As interest generally is not accrued more than daily, a fraction of a day is not possible. The fraction shows up most likely due to rounding in the numbers being utilized in the calculation. Since we do not know how these numbers were rounded, it is appropriate for our purposes to round n to the nearest integer.

Section 11.5A

1. w hen determining the n for annuity calculations, remember that n represents the number of payments. Therefore, n must be a whole number and should always be rounded upwards. w hether a partial or full payment is made, it is still a pay-ment. For example, if n = 21.34 payments, this would indicate 21 full payments and a smaller last payment (which is still a payment). Therefore, 22 payments are required.

(a) In most cases, the payment (PMT) has been rounded to two decimals. Th s may cause insignifi ant decimals to show up in the calculations. As a result, an exception to this rule would be when n is extremely close to a whole num-ber. Th s would mean that no signifi ant digits show up in the fi st two deci-mals. For example, if n = 23.001, it can be reasonably concluded that n is 23 payments since the 0.001 is probably a result of the rounded payment.

Section 13.1e

1. w hen working with the n for an annuity due, n represents the number of pay-ments and must be a whole number. Therefore, n will always round upward. However, it is important to distinguish whether the question is asking about the term of the annuity due or when the last payment of the annuity due occurs.

(a) If the term is being asked, n can be used to figu e out the timeline. For exam-ple, a yearly apartment rental agreement would have n = 12 monthly pay-ments, thus the term ends 12 months from now.

(b) If the last payment is being asked, n - 1 can be used to figu e out the timeline. In the same example, the last rental payment would occur at the beginning of the 12th month. The last payment would be 12 - 1 = 11 months from now.

Section 14.1

1. The payment must be rounded to the two decimal standard for currency. 2. w hen constructing an amortization schedule, it is important to recognize that

all numbers in the schedule need to be rounded to two decimals (since it is cur-rency). However, since the money remains in the account at all times, all decimals are in fact being carried forward throughout. As such, calculated numbers may sometimes be off y a penny due to the rounding of the payment or the interest.

Section 15.1

1. w hen determining the purchase price for a bond, it is important to carry all the decimals until the calculation is complete. w hen completing the calculation by formula, the present value of the bonds face value and interest payments along with any accrued interest must be calculated. For simplicity reasons, the text shows each of these values rounded to two decimals and then summed to get the purchase price. Remember though that all decimals are being carried forward until the fi al answer.

Section 15.5

1. A sinking fund schedule has the same characteristics as an amortization schedule and may also experience a penny difference due to the rounding of the payment or the interest.

Section 16.1

1. When making choices between various alternatives, it is suffici t to calculate answers rounded to the nearest dollar. There are two rationales for this. First, in most cases future cash fl ws are not entirely certain (they are estimates) and therefore may be slightly inaccurate themselves. Second, as cents have little value, most decisions would not be based on cents difference; rather decisions would be based on dollars difference.

Section 16.2

1. In choosing whether to accept or reject a contract using the net present value method, remember that future cash fl ws are estimates. Therefore, when an NPV is calculated that is within $500 of $0, it can be said that the result does not pro-vide a clear signal to accept or reject. Although the desired rate of return has barely been met (or not), this may be a result of the estimated cash fl ws. In this case, a closer examination of the estimates to determine their accuracy may be required before any decision could be made.

Section 16.3

1. Performance indexes are generally rounded to one decimal in percentage format. 2. Th s unknown rate of return (d) is generally rounded to 2 decimals in percentage

format. 3. A rate of return is generally rounded to one decimal in percentage format.
