g For this question, ignore inflation. Suppose Jenny earns $60,000 per year working as a tax analyst. After ten years, she quits
arsen [322]

Answer:

If Jenny doesn’t earn any interest on her savings and wants to perfectly smooth consumption across her life, how much will she consume every year?

Jenny's total income during her life = income as tax analyst ($60,000 x 10) + income as PhD student ($12,000 x 5) + income as Art Director (35 x $95,000) = $3,985,000

she generated income during 50 years and expects to live 20 more, so in order to perfectly smooth consumption across her life, she must divide her total life income by 70 years = $3,985,000 / 70 years = $56,928.57 per year

What might prevent her from perfectly smoothing consumption?

First of all, besides inflation, you also earn interest on your savings. That is why 401k and other retirement accounts work so well (the magic of compound interest). Even if inflation and interests didn't exist, you cannot know exactly what you are going to earn in the future and for how many years. In this case, she earned $60,000 for 10 years, but then earned only $12,000 during 5 years. If she really wanted to smooth her consumption, she would have needed to get a loan because her savings during the first 10 years wouldn't be enough.

leonid [27]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "A": Beer prices will go down.

Explanation:

Usually, when two large companies merge they take most or almost all part of their market causing a monopoly. This implies the recently-merged company to set the price of the goods according to what they believe is suitable which does not necessarily match with the consumers' expectations. However, for the companies in the case to prove the government that the merger will benefit the economy, they must show that the price of the beer will go down which is the opposite of what is expected under other regular situations.

ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

The correct answer is option C.

Explanation:

The production possibility curve shows the maximum possible bundle of two goods that can be produced using all the available resources and state of technology.

Since the resources are scarce, when we produce more of one good, we need to sacrifice more and more of the other good.

If all the resources in the economy are fully employed then it is not possible to increase the production of one good without decreasing the production of the other.

The economy can thus produce either on the production possibility curve or below it but not above it.

You have been managing a $5 million portfolio that has a beta of 1.05 and a required rate of return of 9.775%. The current risk-
Lilit [14]

Answer:

9.62%

Explanation:

Re = Rf + (B x Rp)

Re = cost of equity = 9.775%

Rf = risk free rate = 4%

B = beta = 1.05

Rp = risk premium = ?

Rp = (Re - Rf) B = (9.775% - 4%)/1.05 = 5.5%

Re portfolio = Rf + {Rp x [(B₁ x $5/$5.5) + (B₂ x $0.5/$5.5)]}

Re portfolio = 4% + {5.5% x [(1.05 x $5/$5.5) + (0.75 x $0.5/$5.5)]}

Re portfolio = 4% + {5.5% x [0.9545 + 0.0682]}

Re portfolio = 4% + 5.6249% = 9.62%
