Answer:
Ans. The annuity that will be equivalent to the publisher´s advance would be $26.40 per year, for 9 years at 7% interest rate.
Explanation:
Hi, first, let´s bring that $500 to be paid in 9 years to present value, we need to use the following formula.

Where: r is our discount rate (7%) and n the periods from now when she will receive that $500 amount. This should look like this.

Ok, so the equivalent amount of money today of those $500 in nine years is $271.97, but the author wants $100 today so the remaining amount has to be used to find the equal annual payments to be made in order to be equivalent to re remaining balance ($171.97). We now need to use the following equation.

And we solve for "A" like this




Therefore, the equivalent amount of money of $500 in 9 years is $100 today and $26.40 every year, at the end of the year, for nine years.
Best of luck.
Answer:
The correct asnwer is $-214 billion.
Explanation:
A surplus occurs when an account exceeds the credit after having paid all its debts and obligations.
As the example says, assuming that China’s net debt forgiveness was zero in 2012, then the net balance of China's financial account balance would be -214 billion.
This means that China would be facing a deficit.
A defit means that more money comes out of our company's account than it enters.
Which causes China to have a<u> negative balance account.</u>
Answer:
- Stock is overpriced/ overvalued.
- Sell if you own it.
- Don't buy if you don't.
Explanation:
Use CAPM to find the required return on the stock:
Required return = Risk free rate + beta * ( Market return - risk free rate)
= 2.5% + 1.3 * (7% - 2.5%)
= 8.35%
Price based on Constant Dividend Growth Model (CDGM):
Price = Next dividend / (Required return - growth rate)
Next dividend = 1.40 * ( 1 + 4%)
= $1.456
Price = 1.456 / (8.35% - 4%)
= $33.47
<em>Stock is selling for $35. It is overvalued. Don't buy the stock. Sell if you have the stock. </em>
