Anthony and Michelle Constantino just got married and received ​$29,000 in cash gifts for their wedding. How much will they have
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

Future value will be larger with smaller compounding period; $373.4 more would be earned with shorter compounding period.

Explanation:

Given:

Amount to be invested = 29,000÷2 = $14,500

Duration if amount invested = 25 years

Rate = 4% or 0.04 compounded annually

Value of investment at the end of 25 years = 14,500\times(1+0.04)^{25}

                                                                         = $38,654.63

Future value if compounded annually is $38,654.63

Future value if semi-compounded annually:

Duration = 25×2 = 50 periods

Rate = 0.04÷2 = 0.02

Value of investment at the end of = 14,500\times(1+0.02)^{50}

                                                                         = $39,028.03

Future value if semi-compounded annually is $39,028.03

As such, future value is larger if compounding period was 6 months.

They would have earned $373.40 more that is (39,028.03 - 38,654.63), with shorter period.

Ivenika [448]

<u>Full question:</u>

On June 15, Harper purchased equipment for $100,000 from Imperial Corp. for use in its manufacturing process. Harper paid for the equipment with funds borrowed from Eastern Bank. Harper gave Eastern a security agreement and financing statement covering Harper’s existing and after-acquired equipment. On June 21, Harper was petitioned involuntarily into bankruptcy under Chapter 7 of the Federal Bankruptcy Code. A bankruptcy trustee was appointed. On June 23, Eastern filed the financing statement. Which of the parties will have a superior security interest in the equipment?

A. The trustee in bankruptcy, because the filing of the financing statement after the commencement of the bankruptcy case would be deemed a preferential transfer.

B. The trustee in bankruptcy, because the trustee became a lien creditor before Eastern perfected its security interest.

C. Eastern, because it had a perfected purchase money security interest without having to file a financing statement.

D. Eastern, because it perfected its security interest within the permissible time limits.

<u>Answer:</u>

Eastern parties will have a superior security interest in the equipment because it perfected its security interest within the permissible time limits.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Eastern has a higher security interest because Eastern amended its security interest inside the allowable time deadlines. A perfected security interest in any security interest in an asset that cannot be demanded by any other party.  

Below the Uniform Commercial Code (U.C.C.), to perfect a security interest, a lender has 10 days from the date of the sale of material to perfect the security interest by filing a financing statement.  Possessing registered in the 10-day limit, Eastern has a strong perfected security interest in the material and after-acquired things even though the bankruptcy was recorded two days ahead.

prohojiy [21]

Answer:

Dividend yield=10.3%

Explanation:

Mv=Do(1+g)/(Ke-g)

MV=?

Do=2.27

g=2.1%

Ke=14.56%

Mv=2.27(1+2.1%)/(14.56%-2.1%)

MV=2.75/(12.46%)

MV=$22.1

Dividend yield=dividend per share/share price per share

Dividend yield=2.27/22.1

Dividend yield=10.3%
