Answer:

A. $3

B. $257.142

C. $2.25

Explanation:

A. In 1925, the CPI was 18 and the price of a movie ticket was $0.30.

The current CPI is 180.

The price today will be

= \frac{Price}{CPI}\ \times\ Current\ CPI

= \frac{0.3}{18}\ \times\ 180

= $3

B. In 1930, the CPI was 14 and a cook earned $20 a week.

The current CPI is 180.

The price today will be

= \frac{Price}{CPI}\ \times\ Current\ CPI

= \frac{20}{14}\ \times\ 180

= $257.142

C.  In 1940, the CPI was 16 and a gallon of gas cost $0.20.

The current CPI is 180.

The price today will be

= \frac{Price}{CPI}\ \times\ Current\ CPI

= \frac{0.2}{16}\ \times\ 180

= $2.25

Suppose you have $1,500 and plan to purchase a 5-year certificate of deposit (CD) that pays 3.5% interest, compounded annually.
ryzh [129]

Answer:

$ 1,781.53  

Explanation:

The future value of the 5-year CD can be determined by using the future value formula stated below:

FV=PV*(1+r)^n

FV is the future value which is expected future amount after 5 years

PV is the initial amount used in purchasing the CD i.e $1500

r is the rate of return on the CD on an annual basis which is 3.5%

n is the number of years the investment would last which is 5 years

FV=$1500*(1+3.5%)^5

FV=$1500*1.187686306

FV=$ 1,781.53

Papessa [141]

Answer

a) Gordon's Constant Growth model : P0 = D1 / (r-g)

r = 3% =0.03 , g= -7% = -0.07 , D0 = $5.1

D1 = D0*(1+g)

D1 = 5.1*(1-0.07)

D1 = $4.743

P0 = 4.743/(0.03- (-0.07))

P0 = 4.743/0.10

P0 = $47.43

So, Stock M should sell at a price of $47.43 today

b) Price 8 years from now

==> P8 = D9/(r-g)

P8 = D0*(1+g)^9/(r-g)

P8 = 5.1* (1-0.07)^9 / (0.03- (-0.07))

P8 = 5.1*0.52041108298  / (0.03- (-0.07))

P8 = 2.65410

P8 = $26.54

c) Investor may want to buy the stock today for the Dividends. If the dividends paid are high enough, the present value of the dividends is also high and may more than compensate the fall in stock price. This type of stocks work and give cash flows like a project where the initial cashflows are higher and later cashflows are less because of market factors.
