Answer:
a. False
Explanation:
A "primary transaction" refers to the selling of <em>new stocks and bonds</em> for the first time towards the public. A great example of this is the "Initial Public Offering" <em>(IPO)</em> which allows "public share issuance."
On the other hand, a "secondary transaction" refers to the<em> trading of investors among themselves.</em> There is no involvement of the issuing companies here. So, this means that if an investor uses the services of a broker to buy and sell stocks that are currently being traded in the stock market,<u> the transaction</u><u> doesn't directly involve the issuing compan</u><u>y.</u> This kind of transaction is then called "secondary."
So, this explains the answer.
Answer:
The answer is B. contributes to U.S. GDP, but not U.S. GNP
Explanation:
Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is the market value of all final goods and services produced within the economy of a country within a period of time.
Gross National Product(GNP) is the market value of all final goods and services produced by a citizen of a country irrespective of whether they are in the country or outside the country within a period of time.
The BMW plant in Spartanburg which produces $10million worth of vehicles is in USA but the company in owned by Germans. Since it is produced within the economy of USA, it will count for USA's GDP but it won't count for USA's GNP because it is not owned by USA citizen rather, it will count for Germany's GNP because it is owned by Germans.
Answer: c. $81,202
Explanation:
The inflow will be annual and constant which makes it an annuity. Given the discount rate of 12% and a useful life of 8 years, the present value interest discount factor based on the table is = 4.968.
Option 1 present value
= 48,410 * 4.968
= $240,500.88
Option 2 present value
= 50,427 * 4.968
= $250,521.34
Option 3 present value
= 81,202 * 4.968
= $403,412
Option 3 is the closest option with the difference being down to rounding errors. The annual inflow would have to be $81,202 to make the investment in the equipment financially attractive.
Answer:
0.4868%
$615.47
Explanation:
Given that
a. EAR = 6%
Thus,
Equivalent monthly rate = (1 + r)^n - 1
Where r = EAR
Therefore
= (1 + 0.06)^1/12 - 1
= 1.0048675 - 1
= 0.0048675 × 100
= 0.4868%
b. Given that
Monthly rate = 0.4868%
Future value = 100,000
Time = 10 years
Recall that
FV annuity formula = C × (1/r) × ([1 + r ]^n - 1)
Where
C = payment
Therefore
100000 = C (1/0.004868) × ([1 + 0.004868]^120 - 1)
C = 100,000/(1/0.004868) × ([1 + 0.004868]^120 - 1)
C = $615.47 per month
