Overpumping of groundwater will result in __ of an aquifer, which will lead to land _.

1 answer:

This will lead to the compaction of the aquifer. In addition, the land will start to evince subsidence: that is, it will begin to cave in or fall away. This is because the land above the aquifer has nothing underneath to support it, now that the water that was previously in the aquifer has been brought to the surface.

UPS, a delivery services company, has a beta of 1.4, and Wal-Mart has a beta of 0.9. The risk-free rate of interest is 4% and th

Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

10.9%

Explanation:

to calculate the expected return of the portfolio, we first need to calculate the portfolio's beta:

the portfolio beta = (beta UPS stock x weight UPS stock) + (beta Walmart stock x weight Walmart) = (1.4 x 50%) + (0.9 x 50%) = 0.7 + 0.45 = 1.15

portfolio's expected return = risk free rate + (portfolio beta x market risk premium) = 4% + (1.15 x 6%) = 4% + 6.9% = 10.9%

You are planning your retirement in 10 years. You currently have $169,000 in a bond account and $609,000 in a stock account. You

Over [174]

Answer:

$187,584.20

Explanation:

Firstly, we need to calculate the total future value (FV) of the bond account and stock account after 10 year from now (when you come to retirement age):

FV_bond at retirement = 169,000 x (1 + 7.25%)^10 + 7,100 x (1 + 7.25%)^9 + 7,100 x (1 + 7.25%)^8 + … 7,100 x (1 + 7.25%)^0 = 426,230.93

FV_stock at retirement = 609,000 x (1 + 10.75%)^10 = 1,690,653.63

Total FV of your investment portfolio = 2,116,884.57

Because you plan to use up all the funds in your account after 21 equal amount withdrawals after retirement, total present value (at the time you retire not now) of these withdrawals (discounted at 6.5%) have to be equal to the value of your invesment 10 years from now, or:

2,116,884.57 = C/(1+6.5%) + C/(1+6.5%)^2 + … + C/(1+6.5%)^21, with C is the amount you plan to withdraw each year.

Solve the equation we get C = 187,584.20

Note: The equation can be solved easily using Excel or BAII Plus.
