Answer:

The correct answer is option A.

Explanation:

Recession in an economy means that the economic activities are reduced. During recession aggregate demand gets reduced.

Consider a mutual fund with $203 million in assets at the start of the year and with 10 million shares outstanding. The fund inv
balu736 [363]

Answer:

8.66%

Explanation:

The computation of the rate of return for the investor in the fund is as follows:

= (Net assets at the end  + dividend per share  - nav at the beginning of the year) ÷ (nav at the beginning of the year)

where,

Net assets at the end is

= $203 million + $203 million × 7% - ($217.21 million × 0.75%)

= $203 million + $14.21 million - $1.6291 million

= $217.21 million - $1.6291 million

= $215.58093 million

Dividend per share is

= $5 million ÷ 10 million shares

= 0.5

Nav at the beginning of the year is

= $203 million ÷ 10 million shares

= $20.3

Now the rate of return is

= ($215,.58093 + 0.5 - $20.3) ÷ ($20.3)

= 8.66%

Manuel Rios wishes to determine how long it will take an initial deposit of ​$13 comma 000 to double. a. If Manuel earns 9​% ann
Lorico [155]

Answer:

See Below

Explanation:

This is a problem of compound interest. The formula is:

F=P(1+r)^t

Where

F is the future value

P is the present value

r is the rate of interest

t is the time in years

P = 13,000

To double his money, that means, F = 26,000

a)

Now, r = 9% = 0.09, so time it takes:

F=P(1+r)^t\\26,000=13,000(1+0.09)^t\\2=1.09^{t}\\t=\frac{Ln(2)}{Ln(1.09)}\\t=8.04

So, its gonna take about 8.04 years to double

b)

Similarly, here we just use r = 0.06, so the calculation is:

F=P(1+r)^t\\2=1.06^t\\t=11.9

So, its gonna take about 11.9 years to double

c)

Here, the r is 11% or 0.11

So, the time it will take:

F=P(1+r)^t\\2 = 1.11^t\\t=6.6

So, it is going to take about 6.6 years to double

d)

The amount of time it takes to double his money decreases as the interest rate increases and the time increases as interest rate decreases.

Find the periodic payments PMT necessary to accumulate the given amount in an annuity account. (Assume end-of-period deposits an
ikadub [295]

Answer:

$ 226.04

Explanation:

Given:

Paying fund, FV = $ 30000

Interest rate, i = 2%

Time, t = 10 years

Now,

\textup{PMT}=\textup{FV}[\frac{i}{(1+i)^n-1}]

since, the payment is made monthly

thus,

n = 10 × 12 = 120 months

i = 2% / 12 = 0.02 / 12

on substituting the values in the above equation, we get

PMT={30000}[\frac{\frac{0.02}{12}}{(1+{\frac{0.02}{12}})^{120}-1}]

or

PMT = $ 226.04

erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

0.9717 per unit sold (approx)

Explanation:

Here, we are assuming 52 weeks in a year.

Contribution margin:

= (Sales revenue - variable cost) ÷ sales revenue

= [(3.52 × 10 + 3.52 × 0.18 × 540 × 52) - (3.52 × 0.26 × 551)] ÷ (3.52 × 10 + 3.52 × 0.18 × 540 × 52)

=  [(35.2 + 17,791) - (504)] ÷ (35.2 + 17,791)

= [17,826.2 - 504] ÷ 17,826.2

= 17,322.2 ÷ 17,826.2

= $0.9717 per unit sold (approx)
