Answer:

Option D is the correct answer

Explanation:

Investors are typically expected to part with their funds today in expectation for a future amount,hence the funds so invested are invested for speculative reasons.

Owners are given the option of future payments at redemption of the investments while some investments can be divested before maturity.

Future payments are naturally risky because investment is like two sides of a coin, it either has a positive or negative outcome such loss of the entire invested sum.

Not all investments pay positive rate of interest, the US bank deposit interest was negative during the global meltdown in 2009.

algol [13]

Answer:

This proposal will not work.

Explanation:

All taxes work the same way, it doesn't matter if they are payroll taxes or taxes on goods or services. In this case, labor is the service provided by the employees (suppliers) and the employer is the consumer. A tax increase will reduce the demand for labor, and therefore the equilibrium price of labor (wage) will also decrease. If wages decreases, then workers are not going to be better off, on the contrary they will be worse off. This tax increase will lower both the wage and the employment level.

A famous quarterback just signed a contract for $16 mil, providing $3.6 million a year for 4 years. A less famous receiver signe

Damm [24]

Answer:

The PV of the famous quarterback is $11,662,991.56, while the PV of less famous receiver is $12,719,159.63.

Explanation:

Present value (PV) refers to the valuation date value of a stream of income expected to be received in the future.

The PV for each of the two contracts can calculated by using the interest rate of 9%% (i.e. 0.12) as the discounting factor (r) to calculate the PV for each year. The discounting formula to use is (1+r)^n where n represents each relevant year. The calculations are done as follows:

1. For a famous quarterback

Step 1. Calculation of the PV for year

Year 1 PV = $3,600,000 ÷ (1.09)^1 = $3,302,752.29

Year 2 PV = $3,600,000 ÷ (1.09)^2 = $3,030,047.98

Year 3 PV = $3,600,000 ÷ (1.09)^3 = $2,779,860.53

Year 4 PV = $3,600,000 ÷ (1.09)^4 = $2,550,330.76

Step 2. Calculation of the total PV

This is obtained by adding the PVs of year 1 - 4 calculated above, and this is equal to $11,662,991.56.

2. For a less famous receiver

Step 1. Calculation of the PV for year

Year 1 PV = $3,000,000 ÷ (1.09)^1 = $2,752,293.58

Year 2 PV = $3,000,000 ÷ (1.09)^2 = $2,525,039.98

Year 3 PV = $3,000,000 ÷ (1.09)^3 = $2,316,550.44

Year 4 PV = $3,000,000 ÷ (1.09)^4 = $2,125,275.63

Step 2. Calculation of the total PV

This is obtained by adding the PVs of year 1 - 4 calculated above, and this is equal to $9,719,159.63.

In addition, the $3,000,000 is to receive now is added to the $9,719,159.63 as follows:

PV of less famous receiver = $9,719,159.63 + $3,000,000

= $12,719,159.63

Conclusion

Therefore, the PV of the famous quarterback is $11,662,991.56, while the PV of less famous receiver is $12,719,159.63.
