Answer:
Option (C) is correct.
Explanation:
Given that,
Cash amount loaned = $36,000
Rate of interest on note = 5%
Time period: From September 1, Year 1 to December 31, Year 1 = 4 months
Amount of Interest revenue:
= Cash amount loaned × Interest rate × Time period
= $36,000 × 0.05 × (4/12)
= $36,000 × 0.05 × (1/3)
= $599.9 or $600
There is no cash flow from operating activity in respect of loan given to another company and interest revenue accrued on loan amount.
Answer:
a. If the interest rate was 8%, how much would you have been prepared to bid for the prize?
this is an ordinary annuity:
annual payment = $9,420,713 / 20 = $471,035.65
number of periods = 19 periods
interest rate = 8%
therefore, the present value annuity factor = 9.6036
the present value of the annuity = $471,035.65 x 9.6036 = $4,523,637.97 ≈ $4,523,638

Answer:
“Should” or “should not” depend on the cost rate of the option and the risk appetite of investors.
Explanation:
An option is a contract that allows investors to buy or sell instruments such as security, Exchanged Traded Fund or an index at a pre-determined price over a certain period of time.
If the option will cost the investor an additional $10,000 and it is the cost for an option of $10 million investment, then it cost only 0.1% additionally, but it can secure the position of this investment; then the investor should buy this option.
Vice versa, if the additional $10,000 is much more than expected profit, and even lower but significantly drop down the total profit of an investment; and the investor always wish to have a high profit regardless high risk; then he shouldn’t buy this option.
Answer:
(D) He should include a timeframe.
Explanation:
A concrete mapping of his goal in a timeframe is all Mohammed needs to make his goal SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, and Timely).
Since Mohammed is someone who has a strong educational and professional background regarding his goal, then the goal automatically becomes realistic and achievable. On the other hand, it is also specific, since he clearly states his desired position (he emphasizes the job of marketing department manager instead of simply stating he wants a promotion).
Since his goal is a discrete (not continuous) event, the Measurable characteristic is somewhat irrelevant.
All that is left for him to do is to state by which point in time he wants to achieve that goal (e.g. in five years' time).
