Answer:

3 percent

Explanation:

A real interest rate is an interest rate which doesn't have impact of inflation and depicts the real cost of funds to the borrower and the real yield to the lender or an investor.

Inflation = (126-120)/120 = 5%

Real Interest Rate = Nominal Interest Rate - Inflation

                               = 8% - 5%= 3%

If the domestic interest rate in a small open economy with perfect capital mobility is higher than the world interest rate, then
Karolina [17]

Answer: capital inflow

Explanation:

Capital flows is the movement of money for investment purpose, trade or business production, and it includes the flow of capital in corporations in the form of investment capital and capital spending on research development and operations.

On a larger scale, the government directs capital flows from tax into operations and programs and through trade with other countries and currencies. When the domestic interest rate in an open economy which is small with perfect capital mobility is greater than the world interest rate, the domestic interest rate would be driven back to the world interest level by the capital inflow.

British government 3.3% perpetuities pay £3.3 interest at the end of each year forever. Another bond, 1.8% perpetuities, pays £1
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Perpetuity is a time value of money concept where cashflows occur indefinitely; the recurring payments go on forever.

The formula for finding the present value of these perpetually recurring cashflows is as follows;

PV = CF/ r

whereby,

CF = Cashflow = £3.3

r = rate = 3.3% or 0.033 as a decimal

so PV = 3.3 / 0.033

PV = £100.00

If the rate is 1.80% or 0.018 and recurring CF is £1.80, then PV would be;

PV = 1.80 / 0.018

PV = £100.00

astra-53 [7]

Answer:

The net present value of the machine if the required rate of return is​ 13.5% is $447,292

Explanation:

Year      Cash Flows        PV Factor at 13.5%             Net Present Value

0            ($1,875,000)                  1                                   ($1,875,000)

1               $650,000               0.881057269                   $572,687.22

2              $650,000                0.776261911                     $504,570.24

3               $650,000               0.683931199                    $444,555.28

4               $650,000               0.602582554                  $391,678.66

5               $650,000               0.530909739                  $345,091.33

5               $120,000                0.530909739                   $63,709.17

Net Present Value                                                             $447,292

therefore, The net present value of the machine if the required rate of return is​ 13.5% is $447,292
