Respuesta :

Answer:

contract s not acceptable

Explanation:

Given data:

worth of CCTV coverage contract = $ 80,000

Coverage Cost   = $ 74,000

Interest rate = 8.5%

Present value of the CCTV coverage is PV

[tex]PV = \frac{$ 80,000}{1.0850} = $ 73,732.72[/tex]

As we can see from above calculation that present value of receivable amount is less than  current cost, hence the contract is not acceptable
