Is there a potential problem when governments continually borrow?

B) Yes, eventually their debts must be repaid with interest.

A classic example in history was the experience of the French government under the Bourbon dynasty, which ultimately gave way to the French Revolution.

The French monarchy was the envy of Europe, and the Palace of Versailles maintained the most glorious lifestyle you could imagine. The royals and aristocracy lived large – too large. The government had accumulated 4 billion <em>livres</em> worth of debt by 1789. 1 <em>livre</em> in their monetary terms then = approx. $4 in our monetary terms in the US today, so that’s a $16 billion national debt. 40% of the government’s budget was going to pay interest on debts. And it kept getting worse. In 1786, for example, government income was 357 million <em>livres </em>and expenses were 555 million. So that's about 200 million added to the national debt in just one year. The debts kept piling on, and it was reaching a point when lenders were starting to say no to any further loans. The government had reached a position where it could not go forward without levying even more oppressive tax burdens on the people, and the people weren’t willing to pay.

It should be mentioned that, along with the regular lavish costs of the royalty and upper class lifestyles (all paid by the lower classes), a big part of the government’s debt had come from wars. There was the 7 Years War fought in Europe (1756-63) – known as the French and Indian War over here in the colonies. Losing that conflict didn’t sit well with France. And so when the colonial Americans broke out in revolution against the British monarchy, France devoted enormous financial aid (as well as officer support) to the Americans. The cost to France for supporting America’s revolution added up to 1 billion<em> livres </em> (about 4 billion in today’s dollars). This is part of what put France’s debt problem over the edge. When bankers and lenders would no longer give further loans to the French government, the series of events that led to the French Revolution fell into place.

Assume that you would like to purchase 100 shares of preferred stock that pays an annual dividend of $6.00 per share. However, y
butalik [34]

Answer:

$267.1211

Explanation:

return on preference share per unit is $6  , thus at 12% annual rate of return. Initial value of preference shares will be $50 per unit ( $6 divided by 12%).

Total value of preference shares = $50 multiplied by 100 preference shares = $5000

Future value of preference shares = 5000 (1.12)^5  = $8,811.7084

to find the value of money to be deposited to be able to buy the preference shares at the end of 5 yrs.

we work back to get the present value using the mutual fund annual rate

$8811.7084 = pv (1.06)^60  the rate is compounded monthly. Hence we shall compound the return 60 times in 5 years

Bank account money = 8811.7084  divided by 32.9877 = $267.1211

The Young Woman's Club of Williams has been operating for seventy-five years as an organization that supports women who stay at
likoan [24]

Answer:

A) a liability.

Explanation:

Probably, the strong culture held by the Young Woman's Club of Williams (YWCW) will be perceived to have a very low tolerance for diversity by the newcomers. It will also prevent the organization from growing in number. That doesn't mean that it will lose affiliates, but the total number of affiliates will not grow according to the growth in Williams's total population.

Since its strong culture will prevent the YWCW from growing and adapting to community changes, it should be considered a liability.

maks197457 [2]
<span>Normally if one tecnician takes 475 seconds to assemble one air rule smartphone. Then it would take. 20 technicians X secs to do the same So It would take 20 tecnicians X secs = (20 * 475) / 1 = 9500 secs. I. e it takes 20 technicians 9500 secs to manufacture a smartphone. But airrules uses 20 technicians to manufacture the same phone in only 30 secs. So its efficiency would be: Number of secs it takes the 20 techician to manufacture the phone * efficiency = Normal of hours it would usually take 20 techician to manufacture the phone. So we have 30 * X = 9500 X = 9500/30 = 316.777. So they are 316.667 times as efficient.</span>

You have $100,000 to invest in a portfolio containing Stock X and Stock Y. Your goal is to create a portfolio that has an expect
____ [38]

Answer:

a. Amount to invest in Y

The amount that will be invested in Stock Y should be such that the expected return of the portfolio would equal 12.1%.

This would be determined by the weights of the stock.

Assume the weight to be invested in X is x.

Portfolio return = (weight of X * Return of X) + (weight of Y * Return of Y)

12.1% = (x * 10.28%) + ( (1 - x) * 7.52%)

0.121 = 0.1028x + 0.0752 - 0.0752x

0.121 - 0.0752 = 0.1028x - 0.0752x

0.0458 = 0.0276x

x = 0.0458 / 0.0276

= 1.6594

Weight in stock Y:

= 1 - 1.6594

= -0.6594

Amount to invest in Y:

= -0.6594 * 100,000

= -$65,940

b. Portfolio beta

It will be a weighted average of the betas of the two stocks:

= (Weight of stock X * Stock X Beta) + ( Weight of stock Y * Stock Y beta)

= (1.6594 * 1.20) + (-0.6594 * 0.80)

= 1.46
