What investment type typically carries the least risk

Business

Certificates of Deposit (CDs), U.S Treasury Bills, and savings accounts are generally regarded as the least risky investments, given that they are backed - at least up to a certain limit - by the U.S government. 

CDs are essentially fixed-term savings accounts, which means you must deposit your funds for a set amount of time, until the account reaches what is called "maturity." Withdrawing funds before this point typically leads to a fee. In return for sacrificing liquidity, CDs tend to offer higher interest rates than normal savings accounts. These rates are most often fixed, though they sometimes come with a feature that enables you to readjust your interest rates once over your account's lifetime. Bank-issued CDs are also insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) for up to $250,000 per depositor, though this figure has dropped to $100,000 January 1, 2014. Credit Union-issued CDs are insured by another government agency, the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA), which provides the same coverage as the FDIC. 

U.S Treasury Bills are sold by the government to investors as a way to fund short-term government debts. If you purchase a U.S Treasury Bill, you are basically loaning the government a certain amount of money in return for the government's promise to pay you back with a predetermined higher amount when the bill reaches maturity. U.S Treasury Bills are typically issued with maturity terms of one month, three months, six months and 1 year.

As we all know, savings accounts are offered by banks and credit unions and provide variable interest rates, which means their rates fluctuate in accordance with the Prime Rate. While there is no time requirement for a savings account, as there is with a CD, the law only allows consumers to make up to six transfers or withdrawals from a savings account per month (not including in-person ATM or branch withdrawals). Savings accounts offer the same as insurance protections as CDs.

Hope this helps you =)

The expected return on Natter Corporation's stock is 14%. The stock's dividend is expected to grow at a constant rate of 8%, and
AysviL [449]

Answer:

d. The stock price is expected to be $54 a share one year from now.

Explanation:

Using dividend discount model(DDM), find next year's dividend;

P0 = D1/ (r-g)

50 = D1/(0.14-0.08)

50 = D1/ 0.06

Multiply both sides by 0.06 to solve for D1;

50 *0.06 = D1

3 = D1

Next, year's dividend is $3

Dividend yield = D1/P0;

= 3/ 50 = 0.06 or 6% hence choices A& B are incorrect.

Next year's price; P1 = P0(1+g)

P1 = 50(1.08) = $54 hence choice D is correct

Paul [167]

Answer:

the answer for the first question is $166667.

the answer for the second question is $210526

the answer for the third question is An inverse.

Explanation:

given information that i will invest in a $10000 scholarship that will pay forever.

the interest rate charged is 6.00% per annum therefore this is a perpetuity present value problem where there is streams of income forever therefore we use the formula :

Pv of perpetuity= Cf/r

where Cr is the cash flows payed by the single investment forever in this case $10000 then r is the interest rate of the investment amount which is 6% in this case.

Pv of Perpetuity= $10000/6%

                           =$166667 therefore i must invest this amount to get the scholarship running with streams of $10000 forever.

in the second problem if now the interest rate is changed from 6% to 4.75% then the amount to be invested would be :

Pv of perpetuity = $10000/4.75%

                              =$210526 therefore this is the amount to be invested for a forever $10000 stream of incomes for a scholarship.

the relationship is indirect cause as the interest rate decreases the present value of the perpetuity that must be invested increases.
