Answer:

Travel websites such as Expedia (EXPE), Kayak, and Travelocity have eliminated the need for human travel agents.

Tax software such as TurboTax has eliminated tens of thousands of jobs for tax accountants.

Newspapers have seen their circulation numbers decline steadily, replaced by online media and blogs. Increasingly, computer software is actually writing news stories, especially local news and sporting event results.

Language translation is becoming more and more accurate, reducing the need for human translators. The same goes for dictation and proof-reading.

Secretaries, phone operators, and executive assistants are being replaced by enterprise software, automated telephone systems, and mobile apps.

A stock paying $5 in annual dividends currently sells for $80 and has an expected return of 14%. What might investors expect to
Drupady [299]

Answer:

$86.20

Explanation:

Total return from stock = Current price * expected return

Total return from stock = 80*14%

Total return from stock = $11.20

Dividend already realized = $5

Capital gain = $11.20 - $5

Capital gain = $6.20

End of one year price = Beginning price + capital gain

End of one year price = $80 + $6.20

End of one year price = $86.20

Therefore, at the end of one year price is $86.20

The price of gold is currently $1,400 per ounce. The forward price for delivery in one year is$1,500. An arbitrageur can borrow
Rashid [163]

Answer:

The arbitrageur should borrow money at 4% per annum since it is cheaper than paying the forward price for delivery

Explanation:

Current price of gold=$1,400 per ounce

Forward price=$1,500

The arbitrageur can either pay the forward price or borrow $1400 and pay the interest of 4% in a year. Consider option 1 paying the forward price of 1500

Option 1

Since there are no additional costs, the total cost for buying the gold=forward price=$1,500

Option 2

If the arbitrageur borrows the 1400 to pay for the gold now, then pay the interest in 1 year;

The total cost=Amount borrowed+interest accrued in 1 year

Total cost=1400+(4%×1400)

1400+((4/100)×1400)

1400+56=$1456

Since there are no additional costs, option 2=$1456

If we compare option 1 to option 2, we notice that option 2 is slightly cheaper than option 1 by $44

(Option 1-Option 2)=(1500-1456)=$44

The arbitrageur should borrow money at 4% per annum since it is cheaper than paying the forward price for delivery
