Answer:

(C) 18,844.47

Explanation:

You need to use the  Inflation-Adjusted Return formula:

InflationAdjustedReturn=\frac{1+return}{1+inflationrate}-1

So, basically you need to calculate it year by year. You can use excel, or an online calculator. I will attached you a link where you can find a good one. But this would be the process

InflationAdjusted ReturnYear1=\frac{1+return}{1+inflationrate}-1=\frac{1+50000}{1+0.05}-1=47,619

InflationAdjusted ReturnYear2=\frac{1+returnyear1}{1+inflationrate}-1=\frac{1+47,619}{1+0.05}-1=45,351

InflationAdjusted ReturnYear3=\frac{1+returnyear2}{1+inflationrate}-1=\frac{1+45,351}{1+0.05}-1=43,192

And so on...

InflationAdjusted ReturnYear20=\frac{1+returnyear19}{1+inflationrate}-1=\frac{1+19,787}{1+0.05}-1=18,844

Keep in mind that I did not write all decimals. You need to consider them if you want an exact answer

Answer:

There is a violation of Uniform State Law because the agent has made an offer to sell an unregistered non-exempt security in that State

The Uniform State Securities Law is also called blue sky law, and they are put in place at the State level to prevent fraud and to enforce security regulation.

This law was set up to handle investments that do not occur at the federal level. These are out of the purview of the SEC so states handle them.

In the given scenario the agent is trying to make a non exempt security exempt by buying it from the client.

This is an attempt to sell the securities to investors through fraudulent means and it is a violation of Uniform State Law

Steve owns a bike store, his total costs are $1.2 million per year. Last year, Steve sold 1,200 bikes. Steve's average total cost was $1,000 per bike.

To solve: take the total costs of $1.2 million and divide it by the number of bikes sold, $1,200
Average total cost = 1,200,000/1,200
Average total cost = $1,000
