For beginning real-estate investors what are some advantages of REITs rather than direct purchase of property?

1 answer:

3 0

REITs keep you liquid and may be more cost efficient. Entering in a REIT also costs lower, and an individual can invest in a fund for less than 1,000 USD. It's kind of like buying into a stock too, in a sense that you can sell your REIT shares at your leisure.

On one hand, direct real estate investment gives you more power over your finances as there is no fund manager - you are the one in charge and you decide who can rent and live in your property. Some say that investment returns are also bigger should you go for direct real estate. However, it should be noted that you're putting in a bigger amount (roughly upwards 100,000 USD - which few people may be ready to shell out) just to get started on direct property investment versus about USD 1,000 into REIT.

At the end of the day, it's up to the investor to decide what sort of risk you're comfortable with.

Ganezh [65]

Answer:

Instructions are listed below

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

The son will enter college 10 years from now. An annual amount of $40,000 in constant dollars will be required to support the son's college expenses for four years.

The future general inflation rate is estimated to be 6% per year, and the market interest rate on the savings account will average 8% compounded annually

A) We need to find the present value for each 40,000-year expense.

Formula= FV/(1+i)^n

1: PV= 40,000/(1.06)^10= 22,335.80

2: PV= 40,000/(1.06)^11= 21,071.50

3: PV= 19,878.77

4: PV= 18,753.56

B) Total final value= 160,000

PV= 160,000/1.06^10= $89,343.16

C) We need to use the following formula:

FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i

A= annual deposit

Isolating A:

A= (FV*i)/{[(1+i)^n]-1}

A= (160,000*0.06)/[(1.06^10)-1]= $12,138

Consider a market where: Consumer surplus is 250 Producer surplus is 125. If both consumer surplus and producer surplus are ma

mario62 [17]

Answer:

A. Deadweight loss = 125 units.

B. Deadweight loss = 25 units.

Explanation:

In a free market and completely efficient economy, the consumer surplus equals the producer surplus. Both benefits of free trade. When consumers o producers have a minor surplus, necessarily implies a loss on eficiency, usually caused by government regulations like taxes or price ceilings.

The amount of welfare lost is measure by the difference between consumer and producer surplus.

In the first case:

|Consumer surplus - producer surplus| = 25 units

|250- 125| = 125 units

And in the second case:

|180- 155| = 25 units

__________This import tax was meant to replace the earlier "Tariff of Abominations", but it was widely disliked by southern merc

mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

Tariff of 1832

Explanation:

The Tariff of 1832 was enacted to replace the 1828 import tariffs commonly known as Tariffs of Abomination. Most southern states did not like it, but its greatest opposition came from South Carolina since its economy depended greatly in foreign trade. Back then America's largest export was cotton produced by southern states.

Due to South Carolina's extreme opposition, it was replaced by the Compromise Tariff of 1833. This last tariff would gradually decrease the tax rates until they fell back to 1816 levels, which was approximately 20%.

The Nullification Crisis refers to a legal process carried out in South Carolina that determined that federal taxes, specifically import tariffs were unconstitutional and shouldn't apply to them. The problem is that the Supreme Court decides what is unconstitutional or not, not a state court.

What responsibility, if any, does fishpeople have to the local fishing industry?

Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

IN UK

Explanation:

Contents

Rules for access to waters after the UK leaves the EU

Quota allocations and fishing opportunities

North-East Atlantic Fisheries Commission (NEAFC) Convention Area

Regional fisheries management organisations (RFMOs)

Access to ports

EU and non-EU (third country) vessels landing into UK ports

Import and export of fishery products

Exporting UK-caught fish and fishery products to the EU

Importing EU-caught fish and fishery products to the UK

Labelling and marketing of fishery and aquaculture products

European Maritime and Fisheries Fund

Eels and eel products

Rules for access to waters after the UK leaves the EU

When the UK leaves the EU, the government will control and manage access to fish in UK waters. It will be responsible for managing the UK’s:

territorial waters (out to 12 nautical miles)

Exclusive Economic Zone (out to 200 nautical miles or the median line with other states)

The UK government will make sure that fisheries control and enforcement continue.

UK waters

There will be no change to your rights and responsibilities if you have a UK-registered vessel fishing in UK waters. You must continue to comply with the law and the conditions of your licence, including the economic link criteria.

Non-UK-registered vessels will no longer have automatic access to UK waters. This will be subject to any existing agreements covering territorial waters.

EU and non-EU (third country) waters

There will be no automatic access for UK-registered vessels to fish in EU or non-EU (third country) waters. This will be subject to any existing agreements covering territorial waters.

Quota allocations and fishing opportunities

If you’re a UK quota holder, the UK fisheries administrations will tell you what your allocation will be. They aim to do this in October 2019.

The government will also confirm arrangements for:

non-quota shellfish (scallops, edible crabs and spider crabs)

demersal species under the Western Waters effort regime (demersal species live mainly on or near the sea floor)

There will be no automatic access for:

the UK Fisheries Administrations to exchange fishing opportunities with EU member states

EU member states to exchange fishing opportunities with the UK

North-East Atlantic Fisheries Commission (NEAFC) Convention Area

You can prepare for the UK joining the NEAFC. For UK-registered vessels to continue fishing in the convention area, and landing into the EU, you must hold a current UK domestic licence. You’ll need this before you can apply for an international licence from the relevant fisheries authority.

Please contact your local fisheries authority office if you want further guidance on fishing internationally. You’ll also need to register with the NEAFC’s electronic Port State Control system and complete the Port State Control 1 forms.

Regional fisheries management organisations (RFMOs)

The UK will join all relevant RFMOs as quickly as possible - it will no longer be a member of RFMOs through EU membership. The joining process may take up to 6 months.

During this time, UK vessels may not be able to fish in international waters covered by RFMOs. The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) will keep fishermen informed of progress and what the outcome of a decision will mean in practice.

Access to ports

If you have a UK-registered vessel, you’ll no longer have an automatic right to land fish in any EU port. You’ll be allowed access to EU designated ports for:

port services

landings

transhipment

the use of market facilities (where vessels meet EU requirements on illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing)

You must notify the relevant Fisheries Monitoring Centre of your intention to arrive into a designated port. You must notify vessel and catch-related information

A cost incurred in the past that is not relevant to any current decision is classified as a(n): incremental cost. opportunity co

melamori03 [73]

Answer:

sunk cost.

Explanation:

Sunk cost can be defined as a cost or an amount of money that has been spent on something in the past and as such cannot be recovered. Thus, because a sunk cost has been incurred by an individual or organization it can't be recovered and as such it is irrelevant in the decision-making process such as investments, projects etc.

Basically, sunk costs are referred to as fixed costs.

Sunk costs are the opposite of relevant costs because they can't be changed or recovered, as they've been spent or contracted in the past already. Hence, relevant cost are relevant for decision-making purposes but not sunk costs.

Hence, a cost incurred in the past that is not relevant to any current decision is classified as a sunk cost.

For example, ABC investors decide to acquire land and develop residential houses at a location X. This decision is informed on the fact that the government had recently enacted a policy that led to an increase in demand for residential properties in that location. 6 months into construction of the residential houses, the government reviews and rescinds the policy. This leads to a sharp decline in property values in location X. ABC investors had already incurred 10 million dollars in the project. The 10 million dollars is considered sunk cost.
