Answer:

(a) The deposit should be <u>$168.06 </u>quarterly.

(a) The deposit should be <u>$145.32 </u>quarterly.

Explanation:

Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:

An investor needs $11,000 in 19 years.

(a) What amount should be deposited in a fund at the end of each quarter at 7% compounded quarterly so that there will be enough money in the fund?

(b) Find the investors quarterly deposit if the money is deposited at 9.4% compounded quarterly.

The explanations to the answers are now given as follows:

(a) What amount should be deposited in a fund at the end of each quarter at 7% compounded quarterly so that there will be enough money in the fund?

Since the amount should be deposited in a fund at the end of each quarter, the formula for calculating the Future Value (FV) of an Ordinary Annuity is used as follows:

FV = M * {[(1 + r)^n - 1] / r} ................................. (1)

Where,

FV = Future value of the amount needed in 19 years = $11,000

M = Quarterly deposit = ?

r = Quarterly interest rate = 7% / 4 = 0.07 / 4 = 0.0175

n = number of quarters the deposits will be made = 11 * 4 = 44

Substituting the values into equation (1) and solve for M, we have:

11,000 = M * {[(1 + 0.0175)^44 - 1] / 0.0175}

11,000 = M * 65.4531536741798

M = 11,000 / 65.4531536741798

M = $168.06

(b) Find the investors quarterly deposit if the money is deposited at 9.4% compounded quarterly.

We make use of equation (1) in part (a) as follows:

Where,

FV = Future value of the amount needed in 19 years = $11,000

M = Quarterly deposit = ?

r = Quarterly interest rate = 9.4% / 4 = 0.094 / 4 = 0.0235

n = number of quarters the deposits will be made = 11 * 4 = 44

Substituting the values into equation (1) and solve for M, we have:

11,000 = M * {[(1 + 0.0235)^44 - 1] / 0.0235}

11,000 = M * 75.6957891651599

M = 11,000 / 75.6957891651599

M = $145.32

Week 5 Rachel is a financial investor who actively buys and sells in the securities market. Now she has a portfolio of all blue
Ivahew [28]

Answer: The answer is provided below

Explanation:

The weights of assest in Rachel's portfolio: = amount in each stock ÷ sum of the amounts invested in all stocks.

Share Amount Weight

A. 13500. 0.33

B. 7600. 0.18

C. 14700. 0.36

D. 5500. 0.13

Total 41300

Note that weight = amount/total

Geometric average return of a portfolio:

((1+R1)×(1+R2)×(1+R3)....×(1+Rn))^(1/n) - 1

where,

R1= return of period 1

Rn= return in nth period

Hence, the geometric average return of Rachel's portfolio will be:

((1+9.7%)×(1+12.4%)×(1-5.5%)×(1+17.2%))^(1/4) - 1

= 8.10 % (approximately) per year.

Using the nominal rate of return which includes inflation:

CAPM: Required return will be:

= Risk free return + (Risk premium × Beta)

13.6 = Risk free return + (4.8 × 1.5)

13.6 = Risk free return + 7.2

Risk free return = 13.6 - 7.2

= 6.4% which is not inflation adjusted)

The inflation adjusted rate of return will be:

= (1+return)/(1+inflation rate))-1

= ((1+13.6%)/(1+2.7%))-1

= 10.61%

Using CAPM:

10.61= Risk free return + (4.8 × 1.5)

10.61 = Risk free return + 7.2

Risk free return = 10.61 - 7.2

Risk free return = 3.41% (at real rates)

In practice, the use of inflation adjusted return i.e the real rate of return which is 10.61% is better as it puts forth a long term perspective on how a stock is performing.

Wanda is faced with an ethical dilemma. She knows her supervisor, the CFO, wants to accelerate the recoding of revenue to an ear
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

Wanda is most likely to refuse.

Explanation:

The stage 4 of Kohlberg's Moral Development Model is defined as the Law and Order Orientation Stage, in which doing what is dutiful is paramount. If Wanda accepted his supervisor's demands, she would be breaking a law (the GAAP), and this act would therefore go against what the Kohlberg's model proposes. She will most likely respect the law despite the conquesequences that this might have on her personal life (for example, being fired).
