Answer:
2121.566 will be saved
Explanation:
Extra cost=8%
Saving per year=15%
Extra Cost of home=250000*0.08=$20000
Let the energy saving required per year to justify the home=x
Extra cost paid = P.v of energy saving
20000=x*Annuity factor(10%@30 years)
20000=x*9.427
X=2121.566
The answer is A.
There is risk involved in owning a stock, and many unknown variables. The value of the stock could plummet, putting your principal investment at risk. There is no guarantee of return on investment, and even well-established companies have had to cut dividends during difficult times.
In the case of bonds, you are guaranteed by the bond issuer that your principal and the agreed-upon interest will be paid at a defined time. Excluding the event of bankruptcy (and still likely in this case), you are virtually guaranteed that the entity will pay you according to the agreed-upon terms. For this reason, bonds are considered a much lower risk investment.
Why then, do many people choose to invest at least part of their portfolio in stocks? Stocks generally have a much high expected return, and many people consider this increased return worth the increased risk that with it.
