You are considering two equally risky annuities, each of which pays $5,000 per year for 10 years. Investment ORD is an ordinary

liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

A rational investor would be willing to pay more for DUE than for ORD, so their market prices should differ.

Explanation:

If both annuities pay the same amount ($5,000 per year), then the present value of the annuity due will always be higher than the present value of the ordinary annuity. Therefore, an investor will always be willing to pay more (at equal risk) for the annuity due than the ordinary annuity.

E.g. let say that both annuities carry a 10% interest rate.

The present value of the annuity due is:

PV = $5,000 + [$5,000 x 5.7590 (PV annuity factor, 10%, 9 periods)] = $33,795

The present value of the ordinary annuity is:

PV = $5,000 x 6.1446 (PV annuity factor, 10%, 10 periods) = $30,723

The logic behind this is that $1 today is worth more than $1 tomorrow, and the annuity due's first payment is today, while the ordinary annuity's first payment is in 1 year.

scoundrel [369]

Answer:

An example of a cost that is likely to have a direct relationship with products being manufactured is:

direct cost of raw materials.

Explanation:

Other direct costs that affect the cost of the products directly are direct labor costs and direct overhead costs. They are traceable to the products being manufactured. This is why they are called direct costs. They can be attributed to the unit of production. The opposite is the indirect costs of raw materials, labor, and overheads. These costs cannot be traced to units of the product being produced.
