Suppose that an investor is considering three alternative strategies: conservative, neutral, or aggressive. If economic conditio

ns get better, then the strategies will return, respectively, 6%, 12%, and 20%. If economic conditions get worse, then the strategies will return, respectively, 4%, 2%, and -8%.

Answer:

The answer is: Following the expected value criterion the investor should choose indistinctively between the conservative or neutral alternatives.

Explanation:

The formula we use to calculate the expected return value of the different alternatives is:

            ERV = ∑ (expected return x probability of occurrence)

The conservative alternative has an expected return value of of 4.5%

ERV Conservative = (6% x 25%) + (4% x 75%) = 4.5%

The neutral alternative also has an expected return value of of 4.5%

ERV Neutral = (12% x 25%) + (4% x 75%) = 4.5%

The aggressive alternative has an expected return value of of -1%

ERV Aggressive = (20% x 25%) + (-8% x 75%) = -1%

<span>The marginal product of labor eventually slopes downward due to the law of diminishing marginal productivity. The law of diminishing marginal productivity is a principle within economics. This principle states even if you increase input in one area and keep the others the same, output does increase, there will be limited effect and eventually balance back out resulting in no effect on the output. </span>

BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

e. 71 dollars

Peter was willing  to but the wine for $45

In a year, there is an increase of $15 = $45 + $15 = $60

The interest rate of 10% of $60 = $6

Total = $66 ~ $70

Therefore, the amount he is willing to pay for the win if he buys it as investment would be 71 dollars.

Find the accumulated value of $2,480 at the end of twelve years if the nominal interest rate was 2% convertible monthly for the
dusya [7]
In order to properly tackle this problem, we must understand the relationship between the nominal annual rate and real (effective) annual rate. 

To do this:
  -First you take the nominal rate, divide by the number of times it's compounded (converted) per year.
   -Then, add one to that number, and raise that number to the power of how many times you compound per year.

Here is the method in practice:
First 3 Years: 
Nominal rate= 2% ÷ 12 times/yr = 0.001667
Effective rate = 1.001667 ^12 = 1.020184

Next 2 Years (Discounting)
3% ÷ 2/yr = .015
1.015 ^ 2 = 1.061364

Next 4 years (Interest)
.042 ÷ .5 (once every 2 years) = .084
1.084 ^ (1/2) = 1.041153

The last 3 years are already expressed as an effective rate, so we don't need to convert them. The annual rate is:
1.058

I kept the 1 in the numbers (1.058 instead of 5.8% for example) so that it's easier to find the final number

Take every relevant number and raise it to the power of the number of years it's compounded for. For discounting, raise it to a negative power.
First 3 years: 1.020184 ^ 3 = 1.061784
Next 2 years: 1.030225 ^ -2 = .942184
Next 4 years: 1.041163 ^ 4 = 1.175056
Last 3 years: 1.058 ^ -3 = .84439

Multiply these numbers (include all decimals when you do this calculation)
1.062 * .942 * 1.175 * .844 = .992598

This is our final multiplier to find the effect on our principal:
.992598 * 2,480 = 2461.64

Answer is 2461.64

Answer:

Qualified Business Income Deduction is $9,800

Tax liability = $4,564

Explanation:

Qualified business income is calculated by subtracting an individual's ordinary deduction from a qualified business or trade from the individual's ordinary income.

Net income = $61,000

Standard deduction = $12,000

Modified taxable income;

$61,000 - $12,000 = $49,000

QBI Deduction (Sec 199A) is the lesser of:

[0.2 × 49,000 < 0.2 × 61,000]

$9,800 < $12,200

Therefore Qualified Business Income Deduction is $9,800

Taxable income = $(49,000 - 9800) =$39,200
