You are planning your retirement in 10 years. You currently have $169,000 in a bond account and $609,000 in a stock account. You

Over [174]

Answer:

$187,584.20

Explanation:

Firstly, we need to calculate the total future value (FV) of the bond account and stock account after 10 year from now (when you come to retirement age):

FV_bond at retirement = 169,000 x (1 + 7.25%)^10 + 7,100 x (1 + 7.25%)^9 + 7,100 x (1 + 7.25%)^8 + … 7,100 x (1 + 7.25%)^0 = 426,230.93

FV_stock at retirement = 609,000 x (1 + 10.75%)^10 = 1,690,653.63

Total FV of your investment portfolio = 2,116,884.57

Because you plan to use up all the funds in your account after 21 equal amount withdrawals after retirement, total present value (at the time you retire not now) of these withdrawals (discounted at 6.5%) have to be equal to the value of your invesment 10 years from now, or:

2,116,884.57 = C/(1+6.5%) + C/(1+6.5%)^2 + … + C/(1+6.5%)^21, with C is the amount you plan to withdraw each year.

Solve the equation we get C = 187,584.20

Note: The equation can be solved easily using Excel or BAII Plus.

$39,000 TOTAL NON CURRENT LIABILITIES

$108,000 TOTAL LIABILITIES

$145,000 Paid in Capital

$22,400 Retained Earnings

$167,400 TOTAL EQUITY

$275,400 TOTAL EQUITY + LIABILITIES

Explanation:

To complete the Total Current Assets is necessary to find the Short Term Investments, which is possible to know because the current ratio must be 1,6.

With this information it's possible to know that the total current Asssets are $110,400, and the Short Term Investments are $6,500.

To complete the Balance Sheet we need to know the total Retained Earnings that equilibrate the Accounting equation, that is $22,400.

In which of the following areas would it cost the least amount of money to build a barn?

Nana76 [90]

The areas which will cost the least amount of money to build a barn would be: Plains
Plains have the perfect amount of woods, water, and grass that will support the existence of a barn. Most barn animals cannot live in beach or mountains, so those options could be eliminated.
We need to spend more money to create space in forest if we want to build a barn there, so it could be eliminated too.
