Finding the required interest rate: Your parents will retire in 18 years. They currently have $250,000, and they think they will
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

i= 8% annual compunded

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Your parents will retire in 18 years. They currently have $250,000, and they think they will need $1,000,000 at retirement.

We need to calculate the interest rate required to reach the $1 million goal in 18 years without any additional deposit.

FV= PV*(1+i)^n

Isolating i:

i= [(FV/PV)^(1/n)] - 1

i= [(1,00,000/250,000)^(1/18)] - 1= 0.08

i= 8% annual compunded

Answer:

Holding period return = 14.49%, Standard Deviation = 11.08 approx

Explanation:

Eco Scenario    Dividend     Stock Price  HPR    Prob     Expected HPR

Boom                         3                 60         26        0.33        8.58

Normal                       1.2               58        18.4       0.33       6.072

Recession                  0.75            49        (0.5)      0.33      <u> (0.165)</u>

              Expected HPR                                                       14.49%

<u>Calculation Of Standard Deviation</u>

                                      (A)                     (B)           (A) - (B)  

P_{1}          P_{0}       D_{1}       Given return   Exp return       d          p           p.d^{2}

60        50      3            26                     14.49         11.51       0.33      43.718

                                                                                         Total p.d^{2} =  122.91

wherein, d = deviation

               p = probability

               Standard Deviation = \sqrt{Total\ p.d^{2} }  = \sqrt{122.91} = 11.08

<u>Working Note</u>:

Holding period return = \frac{P_{1}\ -\ P_{0} \ +\ D_{1}  }{P_{0} }

Boom = \frac{60\ -\ 50 \ +\ 3  }{50 }   = 26%

Similarly, for normal = \frac{58\ -\ 50 \ +\ 1.2  }{50 }  = 18.4%

Recession = \frac{49\ -\ 50 \ +\ 0.75  }{50}  = (0.5)%

nignag [31]

McDonald’s requires $750,000 in cash or liquid assets, a $45,000 initial fee, plus a monthly service fee based on the restaurant’s sales performance and rent.

Explanation:

According to McDonald's, total project expenditures, including construction costs and upgrades, vary from $1 million to $2.2 million. The number is determined by the restaurant geography and scale and the preference of kitchen equipment, branding, design style and landscaping.

McDonald's charges a franchisee premium of $45,000 and a monthly service rate equivalent to 4% of gross sales. Franchisees also have to pay rent, a proportion of the monthly sales to the client.

The International Union of Service Employees estimates that franchisees pay an average of 10.7% of revenue in rental costs.

The startup costs for McDonald's franchisee are like those of KFC, Wendy and Taco Bell.
