The wages are quite a bit higher than industry standard. It's about 33% which is 8% higher.
        
             
        
        
        
Using the 20/10 rule: you should never borrow more than 20% of your annual net income and monthly payments shouldn't be more than 10% of your monthly net income.
In this situation, we know the yearly net income is $75,000.
First we want to multiply 20% by $75,000  = $15,000 
$15,000 is 20% of your yearly net income.
This would be the most you'd want to borrow given the information provided. 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Value at 18= $4,909
Interest rate= 3%
To calculate the final value, we need to use the following formula:
FV= PV*(1+i)^n
A) Number of years= 7
FV= 4,909*(1.03^7)= $6,307.45
B) Number of years= 47
FV= 4,909*(1.03^47)= $19,694.39
C) Finally, we need to determine the original investment. We need to isolate the present value from the formula:
PV= FV/(1+i)^n
PV= 4,909/(1.03^18)
PV= $2,883.52
 
        
             
        
        
        
Bonds will be the least risky since there is no risk involved at all. Bonds give out guaranteed payments and A rated bonds will be even more secure.
The next would be property. Since property is a physical asset, the risk involved is relatively lower than stocks. 
The next would be retirement plans which would typically have bonds and stocks.
The most risky would be speculative stocks.
The order from least risky to most risky would be:
1. A rated bonds
2. Property
3. Retirement plans
4. Speculative stocks
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
Ans.  He must save during each of the following 10 years, at the end of each year $32,452.
Explanation:
Hi, in order to find the amount of money that he should have in ten years so he can receive an annual payment of $65,156 for 25 more years (24 payments), we need to bring to present value all 24 payments to year 10. Let me show you the formula.

Where:
A= $65,156
n= 24
r= 0.08
Therefore the present value in year 10 is:

So that is our present value in year 10, or to put it in other words, our future value (if we look at it from year 0). Now we need to find the annuity (amount to save) that with account for $686,012, plus that $100,000 that he already has saved.
Every should look like this.

And we solve this equation for "A".


Best of luck.
