After a retiring from a successful business​ career, you would like to make a donation to your university. This donation will go

into the​ school’s endowment pool and the returns generated from the donation will support the salary of a new professor in the business school on a perpetual basis. The university expects to earn returns of​ 5.5% on its endowment pool. You may assume that any distributions to support the salary will be made annually.
Part A) You can make a donation today (t=0) in the amount of $2,500,000. The first cash flow distribution from your donation to cover the professor's salary will take place in one year (at t=1). Which of the following is closest to the annual salary payment that can be made as a result of your donation?

A. $2,500,000
B. $454,545
C. $100,000
D. $137,500

Part B) After further discussions, the university determines that the employment agreement with the new professor will call for annual salary increases of 2%. Given this new requirement, and assuming the first salary distribution will still occur one year from today, what is the starting salary (at t=1) that can be supported with your $2,500,000 donation?

A. $50,000
B. $187,500
C. $140,250
D. $87,500

Answer:

Part A) D. $137,500

Part B) C. $140,250

Explanation:

Part A) The computation of annual salary payment is shown below:-

Annual salary = Donation made × Interest rate

= $2,500,000 × 5.5%

= $137,500

So, for computing the annual salary we simply multiply the donation made with interest rate.

Part B) The computation of starting salary is shown below:-

Starting salary = Annual salary + Increased annual salary

= $137,500 + 2%

= $140,250

Therefore for computing the starting salary we simply added the annual salary with increased annual salary.

Marsha’s Pet Store employs six employees. Their duties are to sell pets, replenish the stock, keep the pets’ cages clean, feed t
Gemiola [76]

Answer: True.

Explanation:

People sometimes have a tendency of doing only what they are told to do or only what they are paid for. This is why most people who progress in a company do so on the basis of having done work that was not in their description, but would have helped the company progress.

It would appear that Marsha's 6 employees are all of the caliber of employees who just do what they are told and nothing more.

For this reason therefore, she would include a stipulation changing the scheme to include careful performance of the other duties before any sales commission can be earned. This way they'll start to do those other things since they are now paid to do so.

charle [14.2K]
The answer is 40%, in which the following are given: the Variable expense is equal to 20 dollars per unit and Sales is equal to 50 dollars per unit. Use the formula Variable Expense Ratio = Variable Expenses / Sales to get the answer.

In a simple, closed economy (no government or foreign sector), disposable income increases from $2,000 to $3,000. If consumption
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

The marginal propensity to save is 0.4

Explanation:

The marginal propensity to save is 1 - marginal propensity to consume.

The marginal propensity to consume is the proportion of an increase in income that the consumers will spend from this increased income and the marginal propensity to save is the proportion of the increase in income that will be saved.

The marginal propensity to consume (MPC) = Change in consumption / change in income

The MPC = (2100 - 1500) / (3000 - 2000)  =  0.6

Thus, the marginal propensity to save is 1 - 0.6 = 0.4

Consider a bank balance​ sheet, with​ "Assets" on the left and​ "Liabilities" on the right side. Identify where the following it
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

C. ​I: assets;​ II: liabilities.

Explanation:

Assets are the physical and intangible properties of business or individual. They are resources used in generating revenues or profits for a business. Assets add value or increase the capital of a company.  Examples of assets include cash, inventory, investments, office equipment, and plant and machinery.

Liabilities are debts or obligations that a firm or individual owe to other entities or individuals. Liabilities decrease the net value of a company. Examples of liabilities include Bank debt, money owed to suppliers (accounts payable), Wages owed,  and Mortgage debt.

Cash belonging to a bank but held in another bank account is, therefore, an asset, while money borrowed is a debt, hence a liability.
