For each of the following, state whether you expect the distribution to be symmetric, right skewed, or left skewed. Also specify

whether the mean or median would best represent a typical observation in the data, and whether the variability of observations would be best represented using the standard deviation or IQR. Explain your reasoning. Housing prices in a country where 25% of the houses cost below $350,000, 50% of the houses cost below $450,000, 75% of the houses cost below $1,000,000 and there are a meaningful number of houses that cost more than $6,000,000.

Answer:

I have solved part a) because question contains only part a) however it has 3 more parts as well but that are not mentioned in the question. Part a) is explained below.

Explanation:

a) The distribution should be right skewed as most of the numbers lies at that side while using the median to correctly represent an observation in the distribution.

To represent the variability of the observations, interquartile range could be used. Since, there is a good number of expensive houses and this would increase the mean and standard deviation. So, it is better to use interquartile range to represent it, i.e. upper quartile for expensive houses, and lower quartile for less expensive houses and middle quartile for mid-range priced houses.

ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

an Adjustable-rate Loan (sometimes called an ARM).

Explanation:

A variable-rate mortgage, adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM), or tracker mortgage is a home mortgage with the rate of interest on the bond changed regularly depending on a measure that represents the financing expense to the applicant on the financial markets.

The loan can be given at the regular variable rate / base rate of the lender. There may be a direct and legally defined link to the underlying index, but where the lender does not provide any specific link to the underlying market or index the rate may be changed at the discretion of the lender.

You deposit $1,100 at the end of each year into an account paying 9.1 percent interest.
vlabodo [156]

Answer:

a.

The money that we will have in account is $51156.41

b.

The money that we will have in account is $318808.31

Explanation:

a.

The deposits made in the account represent an annuity pattern as the deposits made are of a constant amount, are made after equal interval of time and are for a defined time period. Thus, to calculate the value of money that we will have after 19 years, we will use the formula for the future value of annuity.

The formula for the future value of annuity is attached.

FV = 1100 * [ (1+0.091)^19 - 1 / 0.091 ]

FV = $51156.41178

b.

The same formula for the future value of annuity will be used and we will change n from 19 to 38.

FV = 1100 * [ (1+0.091)^38 - 1 / 0.091 ]

FV = $318808.3149

Can you think of some other capital budgeting situations in which negative cash flows during or at the end of the project's life
guapka [62]

Answer:

Multiple IRRs:

Said another way, Multiple IRRs occur when a project has more than one <em>internal rate of return.</em> The problem arises where a project has non-normal cash flow (non-conventional cash flow pattern).

Internal rate of return (IRR) is one of the most commonly used capital budgeting tools. Investors make decisions by comparing the IRR of the project under consideration with the <em>hurdle rate</em>. If the IRR is greater than the hurdle rate, the project is accepted, otherwise it is rejected. When there are more than two IRRs, it is not exactly clear which IRR to compare with the hurdle rate.

Hurdle rate is the minimum required rate of return which businesses use as a benchmark to decide whether to invest in a project or not.

<em>So a typical situation which can generate negative cashflows which can in turn lead to multiple IRRs towards the end of the project is where the conditions of investment become adverse towards the end of the project.</em>

Imagine that toward the end of the lifecycle of a project, a forecasted increase external costs such as Interest Rate, influenced by government policies translates to an erosion of the bottom line generated by the business in that year.

Period                                             0          1       3  3 4 5

Unconventional cash flows ($)-19,000 16,000 16,000 6,000 6,000 -52,000

The series is non-conventional cash-flow pattern, which has two sign changes. This is the range in which the net present value of the non-conventional cash flow series is positive. The multiple IRR problem poses a series problem to analysts because the decision is not obvious.  

Cheers!
