"Customer Z is a single 26-year-old man who earns $125,000 annually. He informs you that he is getting married and that his new

The couple wishes to buy a house in 5 years that will be substantially more expensive than the condominium in which they currently reside.

Answer:

In order to reduce taxable income and at the same time meet the customer's need for a large cash down payment, you should advice him to invest in stocks. The stock market generally yields high returns and since the customer is young, he can afford the risk. Also, and probably most important, capital stock gains are taxed at a much lower rate than interest income (vs investing in bonds).

Alecsey [184]

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

To determine whether the project should be accepted or not, we need to calculate the net present value. <u>If the NPV is positive, the project should be accepted.</u>

<u>To calculate the NPV, we will use the following formula:</u>

NPV= -Io + ∑[Cf/(1+i)^n]

Cf1= 9,800/1.0975= 8,929.38

Cf2= 16,400/1.0975^2= 13,615.54

Cf3= 21,700/1.0975^3= 16,415.20

Total= $38,960.12

NPV= -38,700 + 38,960.12

NPV= 260.12

<u>The project is profitable. </u>

Banks work to earn a profit by selling financial services Group of answer choices True or false?
insens350 [35]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Financial services are the activities rendered by any financial institution such as the banks to their customers. Most of the services are done at a fee that makes the main source of revenue for banks. The revenue is spent to pay the overall expenses of the bank. If the expenses are lower than the revenue, a bank makes profit. If expenses exceed revenue, a bank makes loss which is not mostly the case. Therefore, it is true to say that banks work to earn a profit by selling financial services.

Toby’s current marginal utility from consuming peanuts is 100 utils per ounce and his marginal utility from consuming cashews is
statuscvo [17]

Answer:

a. Toby is not maximizing his utility

b. Toby should reduce his spending on cashew and increase his spending on peanuts.

Explanation:

a. Is Toby maximizing his total utility from the kinds of nuts? If so, explain how you know.

Toby will maximize his utility when we have:

MUp/Pp = MUc/Pc

Where;

MUp/Pp = Marginal utility of peanut divided by price of peanut = 100/10 = 10

MUc/Pc = Marginal utility of cashew divided by price of cash = 200/25 = 8

From the above, Toby is not maximizing his utility. I am able to know this because MUp/Pp > MUc/Pc (i.e. 10 > 8). An Toby will only maximize his utility when MUp/Pp = MUc/Pc.

b. If not, how should he rearrange his spending?

Since MUp/Pp > MUc/Pc (i.e. 10 > 8), Toby should reduce his spending on cashew in order to increase MUc and increase his spending on peanuts reduce MUp until MUp/Pp = MUc/Pc.
