Answer:

A) 964,286

B) 14

C) 750,000

Explanation:

The portfolios expected return = (0.5 x $70,000) + (0.5 x $200,000) = $35,000 + $100,000 = $135,000

If the risk free investment yields 6% per year, and you require a risk premium of 8%, then the total interest rate that the portfolio yields must be 6% + 8% = 14%

you will be willing to pay: $135,000 / 14% = $964,286 for the portfolio

if the risk premium increase by 4%, then the price of the portfolio will decrease to: $135,000 / 18% = $750,000

Determine the capitalized cost of a permanent roadside historical marker that has a first cost of $75,000 and a maintenance cost
densk [106]

Answer:

The capitalized cost is $ 84,667.20

Explanation:

First of all please note that the cost of $ 75,000 is already the present cost.

The cost of $3200 which occurs every 3 years can be converted into a value using factor A/F for one life cycle.

The capitalized cost then can be calculated as follows :

CC = $ 75,000 + $ 3200(A/F, 10%, 3 years)/interest

CC = $ 75,000 + $ 3,200(0.3021)/0.1

CC = $ 75,000 + $ 9,667.2

CC = $ 84,667.20
