Suppose that two factors have been identified for the U.S. economy: the growth rate of industrial production, IP, and the inflat

ion rate, IR. IP is expected to be 4%, and IR 2.0%. A stock with a beta of 2.5 on IP and 1.8 on IR currently is expected to provide a rate of return of 12%. If industrial production actually grows by 6%, while the inflation rate turns out to be 5.5%, what is your revised estimate of the expected rate of return on the stock

Answer:

23.3%

Explanation:

Expected return refers to the anticipated profit or loss of financial investment. Essentially, it's the value of the return that investors anticipate. We can find the expected return by using the formula given below

Δ IR = 5-5% - 2% = 3.5%

Δ IP = 6% - 4% = 2%

Formula

Expected return = Expectedreturn(previous year) + (betaIP x Δ IP) + (betaIR x Δ IR)

Expected return = 12% + (2.5 x 2%) + (1.8 x 3.5%)

Expected return = 23.3%

You are 30 years old today and are considering studying for an MBA. You just received your annual salary of $50,000 and expect i
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

Yes, you should take the MBA because the NPV of taking the MBA is positive.

Explanation:

the total economic costs of taking the MBA program include the lost wages + the costs of taking the MBA and any interest you could have earned by investing it on something else = ($50,000 x 1.03) + ($50,000 x 1.03²) + (2 x $30,000 x 1.08) = $51,500 + $53,045 + $64,800 = $169,345

the present value of your total economic costs:

$51,500/1.08 + $53,045/1.08² + $32,400/1.08 + $32,400/1.08² = $47,685.19 + $45,477.54 + $30,000 + $27,777.78 = $150,940.51

if you continued to work, your salary at year 3 would be $54,636.35 and it would continue to increase by 3% every year. The salary that you can earn with an MBA is $80,000 and it will grow by 4% per year. I used an excel spreadsheet to calculate future salaries and the differential amount between them. Then I calculated the PV at the beginning of year 3 of the differential income.

The PV of the differential income today = $560,281.31 /1.08³ = $444,769.38

the NPV of taking an MBA = $444,769.38 - $150,940.51 = $293,828.87

(Advanced analysis) Answer the question on the basis of the following information for a mixed open economy. The letters Y, Ca, I
son4ous [18]

Answer:

The correct option is c. raise G by $30 or reduce T by $40.

Explanation:

Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:

(Advanced analysis) Answer the question on the basis of the following information for a mixed open economy. The letters Y, Ca, Ig, Xn, G, and T stand for GDP, consumption, gross investment, net exports, government purchases, and net taxes respectively. Figures are in billions of dollars.

Ca = 25 + 0.75(Y - T)

Ig = Ig0 = 50

Xn = Xn0 = 10

G = G0 = 70

T = T0 = 30

Refer to the information. If government desired to raise the equilibrium GDP to $650, it could:

a. raise G by $45 or reduce T by $10.

b. raise G by $40 and reduce T by $30.

c. raise G by $30 or reduce T by $40.

d. raise both and T by $40.

e. reduce G by $30 and increase T by $40.

The explanation of the answer is now provided as follows:

Equilibrium GDP (Y) can be obtained as follows:

Y = C + G + I + Xn …………………….. (1)

Substituting all the values in the question into equation (1) and solve for Y, we have:

Y = 25 + 0.75(Y - 30) + 70 + 50 + 10

Y = 0.75Y - 22.50 + 155

Y – 0.75Y = 132.50

0.25Y = 132.50

Y = 132.50 / 0.25

Y = 530

Therefore, we have:

Y = Current equilibrium GDP = $530

Amount of increase in equilibrium GDP required = Desired equilibrium GDP – Current equilibrium GDP = 650 - 530 = 120

From the question, we have:

Ca = 25 + 0.75(Y - T) ………………. (2)

The 0.75 in equation (2) is the marginal propensity to consume (MPC). Therefore, we have:

MPC = 0.75

Expenditure multiplier = 1 / (1 - 0.75) = 4

Tax multiplier = - MPC / (1 – MPC) = -0.75 / (1 – 0.75) = -3

Amount of increase in G or government expenditure required = Amount of increase in equilibrium GDP required / Expenditure multiplier = 120 / 4 = $30

Amount of tax cut or decrease in T required = Amount of increase in equilibrium GDP required / Tax multiplier = 120 / (-3) = -$40

Therefore, correct option is c. raise G by $30 or reduce T by $40.
