Answer and explanation:
In Joan's case, a general partnership will provide her control over her business that will be shared with the older gentleman who owns a jewelry store. Profits would be distributed evenly regardless of the contribution of each partner in the business. However, the older gentleman has offered Joan the chance of purchasing his share later on which would provide her the total control of the business and the patent of her creation.
The other option Joan has available is purchasing a franchise. This will allow Joan to avoid the initial costs of introducing her products to the market and the risks of not having enough consumers since her brand name is new. Though she will lose access to the patent of her creation and periodically Joan will need to pay NewJewelry a fee for using its name.
Therefore, <em>as Joan prefers to have control over her designs, it would be more convenient for her to choose the general partnership.</em>
Answer:
yield to maturity = 9.78%
Explanation:
yield to maturity = {coupon + [(face value - market value) / n]} / [(face value + market value) / n]]
YTM = {$50 + [($1,000 - $913) / 2]} / [(($1,000 + $913) / 2]] = $93.50 / $956.50 = 0.09775 = 9.78%
The yield to maturity represents the total rate of return that an investor should receive if he/she holds a bond until it matures.
Answer:
The correct answer is FALSE.
- First it's not sound investment advice to put all his savings into an investment because as the narrative rightly points out, he may have other needs.
- Second, high growth stock are also
- high risk
- they only pay in the long term only if the company is successful because dividends are re-invested which is one of the reasons the companies grow quickly.
Although they are high risk, they also have great advantages such as:
- High growth rate: this means if all goes well David will enjoy a good return on his investment;
- It's also a way to protect his money from erosion by inflation
What can David do?
Subject to the advise of a professional investment professional
- David needs to take into consideration his immediate needs, set aside some funds to take care of that.
- Invest the balance into a mix of high growth rate stock which are high yielding but risky and low growth rate but secure investment like government bonds.
- Start a small business by the side or get a job in the interim as he continues with his new life.
Cheers!
