Answer:
IRR= 21.86%
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Initial investment (PV)= $10,000
Cash flows (PMT)= $4,000 per year
Number or years (n)= 4
<u>It is extremely difficult to calculate the IRR using the formula. We will use the financial calculator.</u>
Function: CMPD
n= 4
I%= SOLVE = 21.86%
PV= 10,000
PMT= -4,000
IRR= 21.86%
Answer:
A)The student beneficiary will use the money to pay for high school expenses.
Explanation:
A Coverdell Education Savings Account can be used for elementary, secondary, or higher education expenses (college). The money can be used to pay for public, private, or religious schools. On the other hand, 529 plans can only be used to pay for higher education expenses (college).
The maximum contribution to a Coverdell Education Savings Account is $2,000 per year per child and the contribution is not tax deductible. But when the distributions are taken to pay for the child's qualified education expenses, then they are not taxed.
Answer: $1,824
Explanation:
According to the IRS, Net Investment Income tax is the lesser figure of either,
i. The net investment income or,
ii. Modified adjusted gross income less the threshold of $200,000 of the person.
The lesser figure is then multiplied by 3.8% to find the tax.
Alain Mire's net Investment Income is $48,000.
His Modified adjusted gross income less the threshold of $200,000 is,
= 309,000 - 200,000
= $109,000
The lesser figure is his Net Investment Income so Additional Tax is,
= 48,000 * 3.8%
= $1,824
Answer:
Stock Y is overvalued and Stock Z is undervalued.
Explanation:
The stock is fairly valued when the required rate of return on the stock is equal to its expected return. If the expected return on the stock is more than the required rate of return, the stock is undervalued and vice versa.
The required rate of return on the stock is calculated under the CAPM approach suing the following formula.
r = rRF + Beta * rpM
Where,
- rRf is the risk free rate
- rpM is the risk premium on market
r of Stock Y = 0.052 + 1.3 * 0.077 = 0.1521 or 15.21%
The required rate of return of Stock Y (15.21%) is more than its expected rate (14.9%) which means the stock is overvalued.
r of Stock Z = 0.052 + 0.95 * 0.077 = 0.12515 or 12.515%
The required rate of return of Stock Z (12.515%) is less than its expected rate (12.8%) which means the stock is undervalued.

Explanation:
A key condition that makes a firm achieve competitive advantage or a favourable business position is it's costs and product design.
If a firm can lower it's cost in a foreign market while also maintaining quality just as it is has done in it's domestic market then it stands a better chance of success.
For example, if a firm in the clothing line industry decides to expand its operations to a foreign market eg Africa.
A key factor in determining its success is its ability to lower its cost in the foreign market as compared to competitors, while also achieving the same quality standards of products.
