Answer:

b, c and a

Explanation:

Ability to pay principle refers to an economic principle that states that the amount of tax an individual pays should be <u>dependent on the level of burden the tax will create relative to the wealth</u> of the individual.

Based on the above definition, the first category will be:

1. Local property taxes support elementary and secondary schools. <em>This tax will definitely generate the biggest tax burden of the 3 cases in the scenario.</em>

2. An airport trust fund collects a tax on each plane ticket sold and uses the money to improve airports and the air traffic control system. <em>Obviously this tax will be of a higher burden than paying national park entrance fees but will not be as heavy as local property taxes</em>

3. Visitors to many national parks pay an entrance fee. <em>Park entrance fees will be of the lightest burden of the three cases in the scenario.</em>

Nitella [24]

Answer:

All of them.

Explanation:

For considering the annuity formula we can determinate all the proposed factor:

C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\

C represent II the amount of each cash flow

r = represent the discopunt rate

while time or "n" represent the numebr of cashflow we have to calcualte the present value.

The timing refer wether the payment are made at the beginning or end of the period.

When made at the beginning it is an annuity-due

and the (1+r) factor multiplies the previous formula to represent the addtional period of capitalization each cashflow has or the one period less to discount for each cashflwo in cases of prresent value.

Consider a portfolio of stocks X, Y, Z whose returns in various economic conditions are set forth below.
jeka57 [31]

Answer:

The expected return is 10.95%

Explanation:

CALCULATE THE EXPECTED RETURN OF X

State _____Probability __X_____Expected return

Boom ____ 0.25 ______22%  ___5.50%

Normal ___ 0.60 ______15%  ___ 9.00%

Recession _0.15 _______5% ___ <u>0.75%  </u>

Total ______________________<u>15.25%</u>

CALCULATE THE EXPECTED RETURN OF Y

State _____Probability __Y_____Expected return

Boom ____ 0.25 ______10%  ___ 2.50%

Normal ___ 0.60 ______9%  ____5.40%

Recession _0.15 _______8% ___ <u>1.20%  </u>

Total ______________________<u>9.10%</u>

Now calculate the weighted average return based on investment in each portfolio

Expected return = ( Expected return of Assets X x Weight of Asset X ) + ( Expected return of Assets Y x Weight of Asset Y )  

Expected return = ( 15.25% x $3000/$10000 ) + ( 9.10% x $7000/$10000 )  

Expected return = 4.575% + 6.370%

Expected return = 10.945%

Expected return = 10.95%

You manage a risky portfolio with an expected rate of return of 18% and a standard deviation of 30%. The T-bill rate is 6%. Your
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Expected return of the portfolio is weighted average of the return of the components.

E(R) = w1 * R1 + w2 * R2

E(R) = 65% * 18% + 35% * 6%

E(R) = 11.70% + 2.10%

Expected Return, E(R) = 13.80%

Standard deviation of portfolio is mathematically represented as:

\sigma =\sqrt{w_1^2\sigma _1^2+w_2^2\sigma _2^2+2w_1w_2p_{1,2}\sigma_1\sigma_2}

where

w1 = the proportion of the portfolio invested in Asset 1

w2 = the proportion of the portfolio invested in Asset 2

σ1 = Asset 1 standard deviation of return

σ2 = Asset 2 standard deviation of return

For risk free money market fund, standard deviation = 0 and its correlation with risky portfolio = 0

\sigma  =\sqrt{ (0.65 * 0.30)^2 + (0.35 * 0)^2 + (2 * 0.65 * 0.30*0.35 *0*0)} \\\\= \sqrt{0.038025 +0+0} \\\\ = 0.195

Standard deviation = 19.50%
