Answer:

Zola's gross income is worked out under community property state;

Explanation:

community property state

Dividends ($1200/2)                               $600

Interest on certificate of deposit  ($900/2)     $450

Salary               ($80,000/2)                          $40,000

Gross income                                         $41,050

Under community law system, all the property is deemed to be community property and is held jointly by the spouses unless the property is acquired before marriage or inheritance or gift.

For federal tax purposes, each spouse is taxed one and half of the property belonging to community. Therefore Zola is taxed 50% for the incomes of her spouse as well including the interest on certificate of deposit.

Answer:

4.25%

Explanation:

We need to calculate the net present value of the cash flows to determine the  IRR.

NPV = PV of Cash inflows - PV of Cash outflows

As the cash inflow and outflow are fixed for specific period of time so, we will use the annuity formula to calculate the NPV.

NPV = [ $5,000 x ( 1 - ( 1 + 18% )^-5) /18% ] - [ ( $4,000 x ( 1 - ( 1 + 18% )^-12) /18%) x ( 1 + 18%)^-6 ]

NPV = $15,636 - $7,102 = $8,534

We need NPV on a higher rate of 10%

NPV = [ $5,000 x ( 1 - ( 1 + 10% )^-5) /10% ] - [ ( $4,000 x ( 1 - ( 1 + 10% )^-12) /10%) x ( 1 + 10%)^-6 ]

NPV = $18,954 - $15,385 = $3,569

IRR = Lower rate + [ Lower rate NPV / (Lower rate NPV - Higher rate NPV) ] (higher rate - lower rate)

IRR = 10% + [ 3,569 / ($3,569 - $8,534) ] (18% - 10%)

IRR = 4.25%

PQR Corporation has a Beta of 1.5. The risk-free rate is 6%, and the market risk premium is 9%. What is the required rate of ret
shusha [124]

Answer:

1. Using CAPM, the required return is;

Required return = risk free rate + beta * market risk premium

= 6% + 1.5 * 9%

= 19.5%

2. First find the portfolio beta which is a weighted average of the individual betas;

= (60% * 2.4) + (40% * 0.9)

= 1.8

Now use CAPM

= risk free rate + beta * (Market return - risk free rate)

= 4% + 1.8 * (13% - 4%)

= 20.2%

3.Geometric average can be calculated by;

=( ((1 + r1) * (1 + r2) * (1 + r3)) ^1/n) - 1

= (((1 + 6%) * (1 + 10%) * (1 - 6%)) ^ 1/3) - 1

= ‭(1.09604‬^1/3) - 1

= 3.1%

Suppose you inherited $275,000 and invested it at 8.25% per year. How much could you withdraw at the end of each of the next 20
navik [9.2K]

Answer:

withdraw amount  = 28532.45

so correct option is  a. $28,532

Explanation:

given data

present amount  = $275,000 bonus

interest rate = 8.25% per year  = 0.0825

time period = 20 year

solution

first we get here Cumulative discount factor that is

Cumulative discount factor = \frac{(1-(1+r)^{-t}}{r}   .........................1

here r is rate and t is time period

put here value and we will get

Cumulative discount factor = \frac{(1-(1+0.0825)^{-20}}{0.0825}    

solve it we get

Cumulative discount factor =  9.638148

and now we get  so here withdraw amount at the end of each of the next 20 years that is

withdraw amount = Present amount ÷ cumulative discount factor   ............2

put here value

withdraw amount = \frac{275000}{9.638148}    

solve it we get

withdraw amount  = 28532.45

so correct option is  a. $28,532

Ilya [14]

Answer:

C. Intention to buy

Explanation:

Attitude simply represents behaviour which is learned that makes an individual respond either in a favourable or unfavourable way to a particular object. It could be a good, service, product among others. Attitude is important in determining consumer behaviour and it greatly affects marketing

The Tricomponent Attitude Model is one of four categories of attitude models usually considered in marketing. The model consists of 3 parts or components as follows

a. The cognitive component- deals with the perceptions and knowledge of consumers about services, products or brands

b. Affective component- this general measures or assesses the disposition of a consumer to a product and it measures as favourable or unfavourable
