Explanation:CPI(consumer price index) is a macroeconomic measure used to determine the level of inflation in countries like the United States of America.

GDP Deflator is also a macroeconomic measure that measures the price level of all the new products produced domestically within a country in a specified year or period.

Both GDP DEFLATOR AND CPI ARE VERY USEFUL IN DETERMINING THE PERFORMANCE OF AN ECONOMY AS GDP DEFLATOR MEASURES DEFLATION,CPI MEASURES PRICE INFLATION IN A SPECIFIC OR BASE YEAR UNDER REVIEW.

If an investment of $35,000 is earning an interest rate of 8.00%, compounded annually, then it will take for this investment to

Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

Therefore the required time period is 3 years.

Explanation:

To calculate the number of period we are using the following formula of future value

Future value = $C_0(1+r)^n$

$C_0$ is cash flow at period 0= $ 35,00

r = rate of interest = 8.00% = 0.08

n= number of periods = ?

Future value = $44,089.92

Substituting the values in the formula

$44,089.92= 35,000(1+0.08)^n$

$\Rightarrow (1+0.08)^n=\frac{44089.92}{35000}$

$\Rightarrow(1.08)^n = 1.259712$

$\Rightarrow (1.08)^n=(1.08)^3$

$\therefore n= 3$

Therefore the required time period is 3 years.

If the expected rate of inflation was 3% and the actual rate was 6.2%; the systematic response coefficient from inflation, would

Semenov [28]

The systematic response coefficient from inflation, would result in a change in any security return of 3.2 βI.

Explanation:

Given:

Expected rate of inflation = 3%

Actual rate of inflation = 6.2%

The change in security return can be calculated by obtaining the differences between actual and expected levels of inflation.

Change in security return= Actual rate of inflation- Expected rate of inflation

= 6.2%-3%

= 3.2%

Change in security return= 3.2 βI

Julie has just retired. Her company's retirement program has two options as to how retirement benefits can be received. Under th

olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

First option will be recommended.

Explanation:

To determine which option to be taken, we calculate the net present value each option generates. The option generating higher NPV should be recommended.

- Net present value of first option = Lump sum receipt = $150,000.

- Net present value of second option will be found by discounting cash flows at investing rate 12% and calculated as followed:

+ Present value of 20 equal annual payment of $14,000 + Present value of $60,000 paid in 20 years = (14,000/12%) x [ 1 - 1.12^(-20)] + 60,000/1.12^20 = $110,792.

As net present value of the first option is higher than the second option, first option will be recommended.
