The rate of return that Japan life realize on this investment is 48.087%.

<h3>What does the term "rate of returns" mean?</h3>

The percentage change in an investment's value is represented by the annual rate of return. For instance, if you estimate a 10% annual rate of return, you're anticipating that your investment's value would rise by 10% annually The result is multiplied by 100 to be reported as a percentage. The IRR evaluates the long-term performance of a project, capital expenditure, or investment.

Given:

To find rate of return in Yen,

Convert the initial and the ending value to Yen.

The initial cost is:

$10,000,000 × 80 = 800,000,000

The ending value in Yen is

10,770,000 × 110 = 1,184,700,000

Thus the rate of return in Yen,

rate of return =( 1,184,700,000 - 800,000,000) / 800,000,000

rate of return = 384700000/ 800,000,000 = 48.087%

Roy Gross is considering an investment that pays 7.60 percent. How much will he have to invest today so that the investment will
Reptile [31]

Answer:

He has to invest $16,803.32 so that the investment will be worth $27,000 in six years with a 7.6% interest rate.

Explanation:

Year 6: 27,000

Year 5: 27,000 - (27,000 x 7.6 / 100) = 27,000 - 2,052 = $24,948

Year 4: 24,948 - (24,948 x 7.6 / 100) = 24,948 - 1,896.05 = $23,051.95

Year 3: 23,051.95 - (23,051.95 x 7.6 / 100) = 23,051.95 - 1,751.95 = $21,300

Year 2: 21,300 - (21,300 x 7.6 / 100) = 21,300 - 1,618.80 = $19,681.20

Year 1: 19,681.20 - (19,681.20 x 7.6 / 100) = 19,681.20 - 1,495.77 = $18,185.42

Year 0: 18,185.42 - (18,185.42 x 7.6 / 100) = 18,185.42 - 1,382.10 = $16,803.32

Where is unemployment such that employment is below the full-employment level plotted on a production possibilities frontier?'?
Ksivusya [100]
Such employment would fall outside the  production possibilities curve as the values plotted on that curve would be the minimum unemployment levels. The usual figure to use is % unemployment so  most likely the differing levels shown would be for unemployment ie 10% above the curve and say 5 % on the curve.

West Corp. issued 14-year bonds 2 years ago at a coupon rate of 9.8 percent. The bonds make semiannual payments. If these bonds
aalyn [17]

Answer:

The answer is 9.38%

Explanation:

This is a semiannual paying coupon. And it means West Corp pays interest twice a year.

N(Number of periods) = 24 periods ( [14years - 2 years ago] x 2)

I/Y(Yield to maturity) = ?

PV(present value or market price) = $1,030 ( 103% x $1,000)

PMT( coupon payment) = $49 ( [9.8 percent÷ 2] x $1,000)

FV( Future value or par value) = $1,000.

We are using a Financial calculator for this.

N= 24; PV = 1.030; PMT = 49; FV= $1,000; CPT I/Y= 4.69

Therefore, the Yield-to-maturity of the bond for annual is 9.38% (4.69% x 2)

sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

b. she could not meet a rapid rise in demand.

Explanation:

Marketing penetration strategy is an approach where a business deliberately sets a low price to a product it's introducing to the market.  The objective of setting the low price is to entice customers to buy the product, thereby creating demand for it. The penetration strategy discourages other firms from entering the market. Marketers using this strategy seeks to establish a sizeable market share for a product within a short period.

Marie cannot apply the market penetration strategy because of her limited production capacity.  This approach increases the demand for a product in a short time. Marie will not be able to cope with an increase in demand at the moment.
