Explanation: In simple words, cost of capital refers to the amount of return that the investor are expecting for tasking the risk of investing in the company. In other words, it is the amount the company has to offer in return to the investors for attaining the capital from the market.

Rick deposited $3,100 into an account 13 years ago for an emergency fund. Today, that account is worth $5,280. What annual rate
trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

4.18%

Explanation:

The formula for used for this calculation is given as

Future value = Present( Initial) value  (1 + r)ⁿ

Where n = number of years of the investment = 13 years

Future value  (Amount of the investment after 13 years)= $5,280

Present ( Initial) value (Amount of the investment before 13 years) =  $3,100

r = rate of return

The formula for r is derived as:

r = (Future value/ Present (initial) value)¹/ⁿ- 1

r = ($5,280/$3,100)¹/¹³ - 1

r = 1.0418139573 - 1

r = 0.0418139573

r is always in percentage format

r = 0.0418139573 × 100

r= 4.18139573%

Approximately, the rate of return annually for 13 years  = 4.18%

5                   12.36%              ((5-1)/(40-1)*0.1024)+((40-5)/(40-1)*0.126)

10                   12.06%             ((10-1)/(40-1)*0.1024)+((40-10)/(40-1)*0.126)

20                    11.45%               ((20-1)/(40-1)*0.1024)+((40-20)/(40-1)*0.126)

The formula for the return on assets is calculated by dividing the net income by the total average assets. The profit margin and total asset sales can also be represented as a consequence of this ratio. For the calculation of the total asset return, either formula may be used.

quester [9]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "A": both the value of a good to society and the cost to society of making the good.

Explanation:

Price is the monetary value of a good or service that consumers are willing to pay and producers are willing to accept. <em>For companies, it represents the production costs of the good plus the unitary revenue they expect to obtain. For consumers, it is the value they provide to the good offered according to the type of need the good is destined to fulfill.</em>

If all resources were perfectly adaptable for alternative uses, the production possibilities curve would:
Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "C": be a straight line.

Explanation:

The Production Possibility Frontier (<em>PPF</em>) aims to determine what the maximum production would be using finite factors. Typically, the higher production of a good implies lowering the production of another. The PPF is represented by a graph with a vertical "X" axis and a horizontal "Y" axis for easiness in understanding.

Thus, if the factors for production were perfectly adaptable, the PPF curve will display a straight line in a graph.

If the company were to issue an annual zero-coupon bond with a maturity of 2 years and par value of $1,000, what would be the ar
Contact [7]

Answer:

Note: <em>The complete question is attached as picture below</em>

1a. The one year spot rate can be calculated using the one year zero bond.

PV * (1 + S1) = FV

1 + S1 = 1000 / 900

S1 = 1.1111 - 1

S1 = 0.1111  

S1 = 11.11%

1b. PV of the 2 year bond = $950

Annual coupon = 1000 * 5% = $50

950 = 50 / (1 + S1) + (50 + 1000) / (1 + S2)^2

950 = 50 / 1.1111 + 1,050 / (1 + S2)^2

1,050/ (1 + S2)^2 = 950 - 45 = 905

(1 + S2)^2 = 1050 / 905

1 + S2 = 1.160221/2

S2 = 7.714%

1c. Price of the 2 year zero bond = 1,000 / (1 + 0.07714)^2

Price of the 2 year zero bond = 1,000 / 1.1602

Price of the 2 year zero bond = 861.9203586

Price of the 2 year zero bond = $861.92
