Answer:

- 41.67%

Explanation:

For computing the rate of return first we have to compute the initial investment which is shown below:

= Number of shares × per share ×  initial margin percentage

= 300 shares × $60 per share × 60%

= $10,800

Now Loss on sale of common stock is

= (Selling price - purchase price) × number of shares  purchased

= ($45 - $60 ) × 300  shares

= - $4,500

So the rate of return will be:

= Loss ÷ Initial Investment

= - $4,500 ÷  $10,800

= - 41.67%

rewona [7]

Answer:

The maximum investment is $6,360.111

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

The placement of a new surface would reduce the annual maintenance cost to $500 per year for the first 3 years and to $1000 per year for the next 7 years. After 10 years the annual maintenance would again be $2500.

We need to find the net present value. The maximum initial investment will be the amount that makes the NPV cero.

NPV=∑[Cf/(1+i)^n]

Cf= cash flow

<u>For example:</u>

Year 1= 500/1.05= 476.19

Year 3= 500/1.05^3= 431.92

Year 5= 1,000/1.05^5= 783.53

NPV= 6,360.111

The maximum investment is $6,360.111

svp [43]

The agency's position is that Bob had already signed a contract, and that the contract included a placement fee due to the fact that Bob was able to find this job through the agency. On the other hand, the position that Bob would most likely argue is that he is a minor. As a minor, Bob is allowed to disaffirm his contract. Therefore, Bob is likely to win in this dispute.
