Answer:

a. $36,000

Explanation:

Since the total payment is $7,000 which is reduced to $3,000 because of child

The $4,000 reflects the payment of the child. This $4,000 is come from

= $7,000 - $3,000

= $4,000

So, only $3,000 for 12 months would be allowed as a deduction from gross income

So, the total amount for deduction would be

= $3,000 × 12 months

= $36,000

geniusboy [140]

Answer:

the balloon payment after 300 months is $1,205,266.38

Explanation:

In order to pay the loan completely after 300 months, your monthly payment should be $1,948.75. Since you can only pay $800 per month, the loan's balance after 300 payments will be $1,205,266.38. This is irrational since you will end up owing 4 times the initial amount. You will never even be close to paying even the interest expense, so the principal increases every month.

Wally is employed as an executive with Pay More Incorporated. To entice Wally to work for Pay More, the corporation loaned him $
yuradex [85]

Answer:

Wally and Pay More Incorporated

The loan resulted in any income to Wally of $3,960 ($4,320 - $360), which would have been a cost he would have incurred had he borrowed the loan at the prevailing federal interest rate.

On the other hand, it resulted in a lost revenue (expense) of $3,960 ($4,320 - $360) which Pay More Incorporated could have earned if it had loaned it at the prevailing federal interest rate.  This expense is a compensation expense.

Explanation:

Pay More's Loan to Wally = $36,000

Interest rate = 1%

Prevailing interest = $4,320

Interest paid = $360

Difference between prevailing interest and interest paid by Wally = $3,960 ($4,320 - $360).

MArishka [77]

Answer:

at 13% --> $1,000

at 17%  -->$806.54

at 10%  --> $1,194.85

When the rates do not match people will only accept the bond if their desired market return can be acheive. Because, the coupon payment are fixed the only way to do so is by changing the price ofthe bond.

So bond with coupon rate above market are trade at a price higher than face value while, below market traded at lower price.

Explanation:

The market value of a bond is the present value of the future coupon payment and maturity given the current market rate

When the market rate matches the coupon rate then the bond is at par and sales at face value.

C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\

C 130.000

time 11

rate 0.17

130 \times \frac{1-(1+0.17)^{-11} }{0.17} = PV\\

PV $628.7337

\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV  

Maturity   1,000.00

time   11.00

rate  0.17

\frac{1000}{(1 + 0.17)^{11} } = PV  

PV   177.81

PV c $628.7337

PV m  $177.8097

Total $806.5435

C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\

C 130.000

time 11

rate 0.1

130 \times \frac{1-(1+0.1)^{-11} }{0.1} = PV\\

PV $844.3579

\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV  

Maturity   1,000.00

time   11.00

rate  0.1

\frac{1000}{(1 + 0.1)^{11} } = PV  

PV   350.49

PV c $844.3579

PV m  $350.4939

Total $1,194.8518

Portfolio Returns i. stock has mean of 8% and stdev of 20%; ii bond has mean of 6% and stdev of 15%; iii correlation b/w stock a
ale4655 [162]

Answer:

Portfolio Mean = 7.2%

Portfolio Stdev = 0.1169615 or 11.69615% rounded off to 11.70%

Explanation:

The mean return of a portfolio consisting of two securities can be calculated by multiplying the weight of each security in the portfolio by the mean return of that security and adding the products for each security. The formula for two asset or security portfolio return (mean) can be written as follows,

Portfolio Mean = wA * rA  +  wB  *  rB

Where,

  • w represents the weight of each security
  • r represents the mean return of each security

Portfolio Mean = 60% * 8%  +  40% * 6%

Portfolio Mean = 7.2%

The standard deviation is a measure of the total risk. The standard deviation of a portfolio consisting of two securities can be calculated using the attached formula.

Portfolio Stdev = √(0.6)² (0.2)² + (0.4)² (0.15)² + 2(0.6) (0.4) (-0.3) (0.2) (0.15)

Portfolio Stdev = 0.1169615 or 11.69615% rounded off to 11.70%
