Answer:

we will find present value of cost over 25 years for both alternatives and would choose one which lowest PV of cost.

Vinyl siding

Cost today (start of year 1) = PV = $13,000

It will last for 25 years

Painting:

Start of year 1:

Cost Incurred today = $3,500

Cost of replacing the boards today (which will last for 25 years) = $2,500

Start of year 6:

Cost Incurred at start of year 6 = $3,500 * (1 + 5%) 5 Annual Inflation rate being 5%

PV of this cost = $3,500 * (1 + 5%) 5 / (1 + 10%) 5

Start of year 11:

Cost Incurred at start of year 11 = $3,500 * (1 + 5%) 10

PV of this cost = $3,500 * (1 + 5%) 10 / (1 + 10%) 10

Start of year 16:

Cost Incurred at start of year 16 = $3,500 * (1 + 5%) 15

PV of this cost = $3,500 * (1 + 5%) 15 / (1 + 10%) 15

Start of year 21:

Cost Incurred at start of year 21 = $3,500 * (1 + 5%) 20

PV of this cost = $3,500 * (1 + 5%) 20 / (1 + 10%) 20

Total PV of all costs = 3500 + 2500 + 3500 * (1 + 5%) 5 / (1 + 10%) 5 + 3500 * (1 + 5%) 10 / (1 + 10%) 10 + 3500 * (1 + 5%) 15 / (1 + 10%) 15 + 3500 * (1 + 5%) 20 / (1 + 10%) 20

= $14,093.94

As such PV of cost Vinyl siding is lower at $13,000 than the PV of cost at $14,093.94 in case of painting.

Thus, you would prefer to install the vinyl siding

= $16,000

The three months should be taken from October 1 To November 1 and November 1 to December 31

We simply applied the above formula so that the interest payable amount could come

olganol [36]

Answer: normal /upward sloping

Explanation:

The yield curve is a curve that shows the relationship that exist between interest rate and time to maturity. According to the expectation theory, it is stated that the yield curve will be upward sloping when there's increase in inflationary expectations.

The slope of the yield curve helps in giving a clue to know the direction of future interest rates. It should be noted that an upward sloping curve means that there is an expectation of higher interest rates in the future.

Therefore, when investors expect inflation to increase over the next 20 years and the maturity risk premium to increase over the next 5 years, the general yield curve will be upward sloping.

mylen [45]

Answer:

There is a 0.2419% for a foreman to earn either $1,100 or $900

Explanation:

We calculate the probability of a normal distribution of 0;1

(X-mean)/deviation = Z

(1,100 - 1,000)/100 = 100/100 = 1

900 - 1,00/100 = -100/100 = -1

Given the zame Z value, we have the same probability of a foreman to earn 1,100 or 900

As we are asked for the foreman salary, wewill calcualte the Z for non cumulative, just the probability of a foreman to earn 1,100 or 900 dollars.

We look into the normal distribution table for the value of z = -1 or 1

0.002419707  = 0.2419%

PSYCHO15rus [73]
