Answer:

$2,096,924.50

Explanation:

Present value of an investment and cash inflows is measured at present time means year 0. Gradient is also valued at present time.

$760,000 each year at 9% for next 3 years is annuity payment and its Present value can be calculated as follow

PV of Annuity = P + P x ( 1 - ( 1 + r )^-(n-1) / r

Where

P = $760,000

r = 9%

n = 3 years

Placing values in the formula

PV of Annuity = $760,000 + $760,000 x ( 1 - ( 1 + 9% )^-(3-1) / 9%

PV of Annuity = $760,000 + $760,000 x 1.759111  

PV of Annuity = $760,000 + $1,336,924.50  

PV of Annuity = $2,096,924.50

Vanessa bought a house for $268,500. She has a 30 year mortgage with a fixed rate of 6.25%. Vanessaâs monthly payments are $1,59
Musya8 [376]

Answer:

Ans. A) $9,314.45

Explanation:

Hi, first we have to bring to present value the monthly payments to be made for 30 years (360 months). In order for this to be useful, we have to convert this annua compounded monthly rate (6.25%) to an effective rate, that is 6.25% / 12 = 0.5208%. Now, when we find this present value, we are going to substract it from the price of the house and that is the value of the down payment. But let´s just go ahead and do it together.

We have to use this formula to bring to present value the $1,595.85 monthly payments, for 30 years (360 months) at a rate of 6.25% (0.5208% monthly).

PresentValue=\frac{A((1+r)^{n}-1) }{r(1+r)^{n} }

It should look like this

PresentValue=\frac{1,595.85((1+ 0.005208 )^{360}-1) }{0.005208(1+0.005208)^{360} }

Present Value=259,185.55

Now, let´s go ahead and find the down payment.

DownPayment=Price-PresentValue

DownPayment=268,500-259,185.55= 9,314.45

So, the answer is a). $9,314.45

Best of luck.

Alik [6]

Answer:

Current Yield = 0.05882 or 5.882% rounded off to 5.88%

Explanation:

A current yield refers to the annual return that a security provides based on the interest or dividend payments it makes expressed as a percentage of it current price. Thus, the current yield on preferred stock can be calculated as follow,

Current Yield - Preferred stock = Dividend per year / Current price

Dividend per year =  100 * 0.06 = $6 per year

Current Yield = 6 / 102

Current Yield = 0.05882 or 5.882% rounded off to 5.88%
