Answer:

Explanation:

People engage in investments  in order to reap benefits in the future by sacrificing current consumption of the available money.

An investor refers to the person making  an investment. He/she always maximize the return based on  risk-taking capabilities. Investors are been categorized into risk takers based on their risk taking capabilities, these categories are: Risk averse and risk natural.

Those people who invest in safe investment options and reap low returns by taking least or no risk are known as risk averse investors. Therefore, risk investors, prefers securities like treasury bill for investment.

High liquidity, least risky, steady returns and short term maturity are the main treasury bill that attract  risk averse investors.

Porter Inc's stock has an expected return of 12.50%, a beta of 1.25, and is in equilibrium. If the risk-free rate is 2.00%, what
Jlenok [28]

Answer:

c. 8.40%

Explanation:

Use CAPM formula to solve this question;

CAPM r = risk free + beta(Market risk premium)

expected return ;r = 12.50% or 0.125 as a decimal

0.125 = 0.02 + 1.25 (MRP)

subtract 0.02 from both sides;

0.125 - 0.02 = 1.25MRP

0.105 = 1.25MRP

Divide both sides by 1.25 to solve for MRP

0.105/1.25 = MRP

0.084 = MRP

Market risk premium (MRP) is therefore 8.40%

By 2030, what will Elon Musk's, net worth will be?
Nostrana [21]
Well currently, as of December 2021, his total net worth is totaled to around $266 billion. I believe, in my opinion, he will become a trillionaire within the next 10-20 years, that is unless Elon’s Tesla operation in China eventually bankrupts him. But considering his current net worth, and if he continues with SpaceX and other futuristic projects offering huge investments, 2030 could get him to around $500 billion.

zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

1. $80,855.50

2. 16.89%

Explanation:

The computations are shown below:

1. The computation of the Net present value is shown below  

= Present value of all yearly cash inflows after applying discount factor + salvage value - initial investment  

where,  

The Initial investment is $5,150,000

All yearly cash flows would be

= Net operating income + depreciation expense

= $870,000 + $765,000

=  $1,635,000

The yearly cash flows would be

= Annual cash flows × PVIFA for 5 years at 17%  

= $1,635,000 × 3.1993

= $5,230,855.50

Refer to the PVIFA table

Now put these values to the above formula  

So, the value would equal to

= $5,230,855.50 - $5,150,000

= $80,855.50

b. The formula to compute the simple rate of return is shown below:

= Annual net operating income ÷ Initial investment

= $870,000 ÷ $5,150,000

= 16.89%
