Answer:

They should invest $5,119,047.619 today.

Explanation:

The trust fund will pay a fixed amount forever thus it is a perpetuity. The value of perpetuity or Price of perpetuity is the amount that the perpetuity is worth in today's terms based on the cash flows it will generate in future.

The formula for the value or price of perpetuity is,

P0 or V = Cash Flow / r

Thus,

P0 or V = 215000 / 0.04   =  $5,119,047.619

pav-90 [236]

Answer:

a) H0: u = presence of a unit root

   HA: u ≠ presence of a unit root  ( i.e. stationary series )

b) t stat = -0.064

c) We will reject the Null hypothesis and the next step will be to accept the alternative hypothesis

d) It is not valid to compare the estimated t stat with the corresponding critical value because a random walk is non-stationary while the difference is stationary because it is white noise

Explanation:

<u>a) stating the null and alternative hypothesis</u>

H0: u = presence of a unit root

HA: u ≠ presence of a unit root  ( i.e. stationary series )

<u>b) performing the test </u>

critical value = -2.88

T stat = coefficient / std error

          = -0.02 / 0.31  = -0.064

c) From the test, the value of T stat > critical value we will reject the Null hypothesis hence the next step will be to accept the alternative hypothesis

d) It is not valid to compare the estimated t stat with the corresponding critical value because a random walk is non-stationary while the difference is stationary because it is white noise

What does it mean to “diversify” your portfolio?
Darya [45]

Answer:

C. Spreading risk by investing your money in a variety of funds and investment options.

Explanation:

To “diversify” a portfolio is to invest in a variety of assets as opposed to focusing on one type of asset. To diversify is to invest in different classes of assets to minimize the risks associated with investing.

Diversification minimizes risk by spreading it in the different classes of assets. Should returns from one class of assets be unfavorable, the losses incurred will be neutralized by positive returns from the other assets.
