Answer:
Present value (PV) = $1,000
Interest rate (r) =8% = 0.08
Number of years (n) = 18 months = 1.5 years
No of compounding periods in a year = 4
Future value (FV) = ?
FV = PV(1 + r/m)nm
FV = $1,000(1 + 0.08/4)1.5x4
FV = $1,000(1 + 0.02)6
FV = $1,000 x 1.1262
FV = $1,126
Explanation:
The amount to be received in 18 months is $1,126. This is obtained by compounding the present value at 8% compounded quarterly for 18 months. The formula to be applied is the formula for future value of a lump sum(single investment).
Answer:
Be more specific with your skill-set for the job.
Explanation:
Most of the people like to describe briefly their skills, but they do it with no details. I mean, to get attention from the owner of the company, or the manager, you need to say, since the beginning, why are you the right person for the job, because everybody says they are good for it.
In addition to it, you should explain your experience for the job and your achievements as a professional in the field.
Answer and explanation:
The influence a company may have over another when one of them has a number of shares that belongs to the other is determined by the percentage of ownership that the number of shares represent. If its lower than 20%, it is said the company has <em>no influence</em> over the other. From 20% to 50% one company has <em>significant influence</em> over the other. Finally, with more than 50% of the outstanding shares in possession, one company has <em>control </em>over the other.
In that case, CBS Corp. has no influence over Westwood One, Inc. since it owns only 18% of the outstanding shares.
They function as consumers and producers because while they work, they are creating goods/ providing services that contribute to the economy. When they get paid, they become consumers who buy goods/pay for services.
Answer: a. 11.5%
Explanation:
Fad followers are those investors who follow a trend when it emerges and as such their betas will be less than that of informed traders because the informed traders would have acted first.
Using the Capital Asset Pricing Model to calculate expected return.
Er = Rf + b( Rm - Rf)
Er = Expected return
Rf = Risk Free Rate
b = Beta
Rm = Market Return.
The Expected Return for the Informed Investors is,
= 4% + 1.4 ( 10% - 4%)
= 4% + 1.4 ( 6%)
= 12.4%
With the Fad followed expected to have a lower beta and therefore a lower expected return than the Informed Investors, the only suitable option is the 11.5%.
