Answer:

7.43%

Explanation:

Where the debt is publicly traded , the cost of debt is equal to the yield to maturity

Approximate yield to maturity = [coupon +(face value - market price )/ number of years to maturity ]/ [{face value + market price]/2]*100

Face value - 2000

Market price - 1905

years to maturity= 30 years

Coupon =( 6.9%*2000)/ 2 = 69

Workings

[69 + (2000-1905)/30] / [(2000+1905]/2 *100)

([69+3.17]/[(3905]/2*100)

(72.17/1952) * 100 = 3.70

Annual yield = 3.7*2= 7.4%

7.4 % being an approximate yield value , the closest option is 7.43%

Suppose you invest $2500 each year in a savings account that earns 12% per year. How much will be in the account in 10 years?
iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

Final Value= $43,871.84

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Suppose you invest $2500 each year in a savings account that earns 12% per year.

Number of years= 10

To calculate the final value we need to use the following formula:

FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i

A= annual deposit= 2,500

i= 0.12

n=10

FV= {2,500*[(1.12^10)-1]}/0.12= $43,871.84

You are planning to save for retirement over the next 30 years. To do this, you will invest $750 per month in a stock account an
Nikolay [14]

Answer:

Ans. Assuming that the withdrawal period is 300 months (25 years), you can withdraw every month $15,547.96

Explanation:

Hi, first, we have to take to future value (30 years in the future) the invested capital (both the stock account and the bond account). From there, we will consider the sum of both future values as the present value of the annuity that you are about to receive for the next 25 years (300 months). But before we do all that, we need to convert the return rates (compounded monthly) into effective monthly rates, for that we just go ahead and divide each one by 12, as follows

r(Stock) = 0.105/12= 0.00875

r(Bond)= 0.061/12 = 0.00508

r(Combined Account)= 0.069/12=0.00575

Now we are ready, first, let´s find the future value of the stock account.

FV(stock)=\frac{750((1+0.00875)^{360}-1) }{0.00875} =1,887,300.74}

Now, let´s find out how much will it be in 30 years, investing $325 per month, at the end of the month, at 0.508% effective monthly.

FV(Bond)=\frac{325((1+0.00508)^{360}-1) }{0.00508} =332,526.95

And then we add them up and we get:

FV(stock)+FV(bond)=1,887,300.74+332,526.95=2,219,827.69

Ok, now let´s find the annuity (monthly withdraw) taking into account that we are going to make 300 withdraws at a rate of 0.575% effective monthly,

[tex]2,219,827.69=A(142.7729593)

\frac{2,219,827.69}{142.7729593} =A

A=15,547.96\frac{A((1+0.00575)^{300}-1) }{0.00575(1+0.00575)^{300} }[/tex]

Best of luck.

olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

Confirmation bias

Explanation:

Confirmation bias occurs from the direct influence of desire on beliefs. When people would like a certain idea or concept to be true, they end up believing it to be true. They are motivated by wishful thinking. This error leads the individual to stop gathering information when the evidence gathered so far confirms the views or prejudices one would like to be true. Once we have formed a view, we embrace information that confirms that view while ignoring, or rejecting, information that casts doubt on it. Confirmation bias suggests that we don’t perceive circumstances objectively.  A confirmation bias is a type of cognitive bias that involves favoring information that confirms your previously existing beliefs or biases.

For example, imagine that a person holds a belief that left-handed people are more creative than right-handed people. Whenever this person encounters a person that is both left-handed and creative, they place greater importance on this "evidence" that supports what they already believe. This individual might even seek "proof" that further backs up this belief while discounting examples that don't support the idea.

A monopolist that practices perfect price discrimination has the same deadweight loss triangle as the single-price monopolist.
beks73 [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is the option B: False.

Explanation:

To begin with, the price discrimination strategy refers to a technique used by the companies in order to charge different prices to the different consumers regarding the fact of how much would they be able to pay for the product. When it comes to monopolies, a perfect price discrimination strategy would try as best as possible to capture the majority of the zone known as the <em>"consumer surplus"</em>. And that is why that a company with a perfect price discrimination would face a small deadweight loss area due to the fact that with that strategy of price the monopolist will absorve as much as possible of that area becuase the triangle is half consumer surplus and half producer surplus.
