Answer:

Ans. the rate of return of this invesment is 3.5278% annual.

Explanation:

Hi, what we need to do here is to find the future value of all six payments, beginning when the child turns 12, which will end when he turns 17. One year later (when the child turns 18) he will receive $25,000 per year, for the next 4 years. This is the equation that we need to use (and solve for "r").

\frac{A_{1}((1+r)^{6}-1)  }{r} =\frac{A_{2}((1+r)^{4}-1)  }{r(1+r)^{4} }

Where:

A1=$14,000

A2=$25,000

So, everything should look like this

\frac{14,000((1+r)^{6}-1)  }{r} =\frac{25,000((1+r)^{4}-1)  }{r(1+r)^{4} }

As you can see, this would take forever to solve, so what we have to do is to use MS Excel, we have to use the "Goal Seek" function. Please check the MS Excel spread sheet attached to this answer.

Please use this function with the following parameters.

Set Cell: G7

To Value: 0

By changing cell: G2

Ans. 3.5278%

Best of luck.

The publisher of an economics textbook finds that, when the book's price is lowered from $70 to $60, sales rise from 10,000 to 1
ankoles [38]

Answer:

Price elasticity of demand = 2.6

Explanation:

Given:

Old price (P0) = $70

New price (P1) = $60

Old sales (Q0) = 10,000 units

New sales (Q1) = 15,000 units

Computation of Price elasticity of demand(e):

Midpoint method

e=\frac{\frac{Q1-Q0}{\frac{Q1+Q0}{2} } }{\frac{P1-P0}{\frac{P1+P0}{2} } }

By putting the value:

e=\frac{\frac{10,000-15,000}{\frac{10,000+15,000}{2} } }{\frac{60-70}{\frac{60+70}{2} } }\\e=\frac{\frac{-5,000}{\frac{25,000}{2} } }{\frac{-10}{\frac{130}{2} } }\\

e=\frac{\frac{-5,000}{12,500} }{\frac{-10}{65} }

e =  2.6

stepladder [879]

Answer:

C) banks falsely reporting the interest rates they offered in the interbank market.

Explanation:

The LIBOR rate is used all over the world to set banking interest rates. it reflects the cost of interbank loans. The LIBOR was used as a benchmark to charge interest rates to clients around the world, e.g. LIBOR + 2%.

The scandal involved many major banks, e.g. Deutsche Bank, Barclays, UBS, Rabobank, HSBC, Bank of America, Citigroup, JPMorgan Chase, the Bank of Tokyo Mitsubishi, Credit Suisse, Lloyds, WestLB, Royal Bank of Scotland, and a long list of etc.

What the banks did was artificially manipulate the LIBOR rate by increasing or decreasing it to show artificial profits from trading activities. When the manipulation was discovered, it had been going on for at least 7 years, and some believe it started earlier.
