Explanation:
Dollar-cost averaging is based on the belief that prices of stock fluctuate around a normal level. Without this notion, it will not be possible to determine what can be seen as high or low now compared to the future.
The benefits of Dollar Cost Averaging attracts investors to employ. These benefits include:
1. It contributes on a regular basis to portfolios of investment.
2. The problem of market timing is eliminated especially for investors do not have time to track the market regularly or who lack the understanding of the market.
3. The cost basis to consumers on stocks whose values decline are is reduced.
4. It is easy to set up and not expensive especially for investors with no huge amount of money to invest. Like the example in the question, it easier for a salary earner to invest $500 monthly than investing $5,000 in a day.
Despite these advantages, dollar-cost averaging has its own disadvantages, and these include:
1. It has been found out in different studies that investor that can time the market correctly and invest a lump sum amount receive a higher return in the long run than what dollar-cost averaging can fetch.
2. The transaction costs paid by the investors significantly increased because of more number of different transactions when brokerage fee is high.

Answer:
A. NPV for A= $61,658.06
NPV for B = $25,006.15
B. 1.36
1.17
Project A
Explanation:
Net present value is the present value of after tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.
NPV can be calcuated using a financial calculator
for project A :
Cash flow in
Year 0 = $(172,325)
Year 1 41,000
Year 2 47,000
Year 3 85,295
Year 4 86,400
Year 5 56,000
I = 10%
NPV = $61,658.06
for project B
year 0 = $ (145,960)
Cash flow in
Year 1 27,000
Year 2 52,000
Year 3 50,000
Year 4 71,000
Year 5 28,000
I = 10%
NPV = $25,006.15
profitability index = 1 + NPV / Initial investment
for project A, PI = $61,658.06 / 172,325 = 1.36
For project B, PI = $25,006.15 / 145,960 = 1.17
The project with the greater NPV and PI should be chosen. this is project A.
To find the NPV using a financial calculator:
1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
2. after inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
3. Press compute
Answer:
Miller's retained earnings on December 31, 2016 is $9,000,000.
Explanation:
Miller's retained earnings on 31 December 2016 = retained earnings on January 1, 2016 + net income - declared dividends
= $8,000,000 + $1,500,000 - $500,000
= $ 9,000,000
Therefore, Miller's retained earnings on December 31, 2016 is $9,000,000.
