Answer:

money invest is $3750

amount of loan owned to broker = $1350

when selling price is $40 rate of return = - 29.33%

when selling price is $50  rate of return = - 2.67%

when selling price is $60  rate of return = 24%

Explanation:

given data

No of share = 100

initial selling = $50

borrow = 25%

initial margin purchase = 25%

interest rate = 8%

to find out

How much money invest and How much borrow from broker and rate of return at end of 1 year at (i) $40, (ii) $50, (iii) $60

solution

we know total investment is here

total investment = No of share × initial selling per share

total investment = 100 × 50

total investment = $5000

so

borrow fund is = 0.25 × 5000 = $1250

and Equity invest = total investment - borrow fund

equity invest = 5000 - 1250 = $3750

and

amount of loan own to broker at the end of year is

amount of loan = borrow fund × ( 1 + rate )

amount of loan = 1250 ( 1 + 0.08)

amount of loan owned to broker = $1350

and

selling price here after 1 year is $40

so rate of return is = \frac{(no of share * selling price) -loan amount - equity invested}{equity invested}     ........................1

rate of return is = \frac{(100 * 40) - 1350 - 3750}{3750}

rate of return = - 29.33%

and

selling price here after 1 year is $50

put here value

rate of return is = \frac{(100 * 50) - 1350 - 3750}{3750}

rate of return = - 2.67%

and

selling price here after 1 year is $60 so from equation 1

put the value

rate of return is = \frac{(100 * 60) - 1350 - 3750}{3750}

rate of return = 24%

slava [35]

Answer:

Truman has a higher inventory turnover ratio and Stapleton has a higher gross profit ratio ( D )

Explanation:

Truman sell a large number of common household items ( assuming 100 unit )

while Stapleton sells a small number of expensive items ( assuming 20 units )

lets assume : Truman sells at $5 per unit and Stapleton sells at $50 per unit

with the above assumptions

Truman gross profit ratio = $5 * 100 units = $500

Stapleton gross profit ratio = $50 * 20 units = $1000

from the above assumptions you can deduce that the gross profit made by Stapleton is higher although he sells a smaller amount of goods while Truman has a higher Turnover because of its higher number of sold units

Other things being equal, an increase in the number of sellers of a good will _____ for that good.
Ahat [919]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "C": decrease equilibrium price and increase equilibrium quantity .

Explanation:

An increase in the number of sellers in a market of a certain good implies the quantity demanded for that good will increase, thus the equilibrium quantity will be higher. According to the demand law, if the quantity demanded goes up, the price is likely to decrease, so, the equilibrium price will be lower.

Thus, <em>the increase in sellers will raise the equilibrium quantity decreasing the equilibrium price.</em>

dusya [7]

Answer:

The correct option is (C)

Explanation:

One of the best traits of a good sales person is his ability to connect with people and seek important information related to their needs and attitude towards different products. They strike conversation informally with people to gain their confidence and build rapport.

Here, Brandi is confused as she feels it was not appropriate of her supervisor to talk to a prospect's secretary. However, she did not know that her supervisor chatted with the secretary in a friendly manner as secretaries spend most of their time with the boss and is well aware of his requirements. So, supervisor will be able to seek important information from her about the prospect that would help him convert it to sales.

Wittaler [7]

Answer:

$22,897.74

Explanation:

Given:

Loan amount (P) = $22,000

rate (R) = 8% = 8/100=0.08/365 = 0.000219178082

Number of days(n) = 6 month = (6 x 365)/12 = 182.5

Total Amount = ?

A = P(1+ I)^n\\A = 22,000(1+0.000219178082)^{182.5}\\=22,000(1.000219178082)^{182.5}\\=22,000(1.04080658)\\= 22,897.744

Therefore, he have to pay $22,897.74 to the bank.

You want to be able to withdraw the specified amount periodically from a payout annuity with the given terms. Find how much the
SpyIntel [72]

The question is incomplete. The complete question is :

You want to be able to withdraw the specified amount periodically from a payout annuity with the given terms. Find how much the account needs to hold to make this possible. Round your answer to the nearest dollar.

Regular withdrawal    $ 2200

Interest rate                        2%

Frequency                   Monthly

Time                                20 years

Solution :

Given :

Monthly withdrawal = $ 2200

Interest rate = 2%

Frequency = monthly

Time = 20 years

        = 20 x 12 = 240 months

Formula used :

$w=\frac{[PZ^{r-1}(Z-1)]}{[Z^Y-1]}$         with Z = 1 + r

where, w = monthly withdrawal

P = principal amount

r = monthly interest rate

Y = Number of months

So, w = 2200

     r = 2% = 0.02

     Z = 1 + r

        = 1 + 0.02 = 1.02

Y = 240

Therefore,

$2200=\frac{P(1.02)^{240-1}(1.02-1)}{(1.02)^{240-1}(1.02-1)}$

$P=\frac{2200(115.888-1)}{113.6164(0.02)}$

   = 111,231829

   ≈ 111,232 (rounding off)

Thus, the account balance = $ 111,232
