Answer:

Check the following definitions

Explanation:

a. Maturity matching simply means that long term funds should be used to finance long term assets and short term funds should be used to finance short term assets.

That means, long terms funds will finance fixed assets and permanent working capital while short term funds will finance temporary working capital.

If permanent assets are financed with short term funds, then refinancing risk arises, i.e. borrower has to refinance the loan at its maturity date which is of a shorter period. On the other hand if long term funds are used to finance short term assets, then interest has to be paid for the longer period when funds are not even used.

b.

Aggressive approach :

Under the aggressive approach, the firm finances all temporary current assets and some of its permanent current assets with short-term sources of financing. This approach relies more heavily on short-term financing than the other approaches. This brings a little refinancing risk and decrease in profits as short term funds are costlier than long term funds.

Conservative approach:

Under the conservative approach, the firm finances long-term assets, all permanent current assets, and some temporary current assets with long-term sources of funds. This approach relies more heavily on long-term financing than the other approaches. This involves higher pay back period which involves more interest outflow.

c. Generally, all the approahes have their own advantages and disadvantages. The decision of chosing the approach depends on the circumstances of the entity as to requirement of funds, pay back period etc. But the maturity matching approach can be said to be better as it maintains balance between inflow and outflow of funds.

If you put $700 in a savings account with a 10% nominal rate of interest compounded monthly, what will the investment be worth i
aksik [14]
<span>To find the compound interest of an investment you have to use this formula, A = P(1 + r/n)^nt, where A is the total amount you have after the investment period, P is the amount you invest or the amount you put in, r is the rate of the of the compound interest in this case 10%, n is the amount of time the interest will be compounded for example, 4 months a year(quarterly) or 6 months a year(semi annually), and t is the amount of time you invest in years. So in this case you are going to substitute everything in the formula with their given value. So P = $700, r = 10%, n = 21 (because it is the number of months we invest for), and t = 2 years (because 21 months fit perfectly in 2 years, and t must always be in years). The resulting formula will be A = $700(1 + 0.1/21)^(21 x 2), which will give you an answer of $855 rounded to the nearest dollar.</span>
