Answer:

12.5%

Explanation:

A portfolio has $2,800 invested in stock A

$3,900 is invested in stock B

The expected return of stock A is 9%

= 9/100

= 0.09

The expected return of stock B is 15%

= 15/100

= 0.15

The first step is to calculate the total value

= $2,800+$3,900

= $6,700

Therefore, the expected return on the portfolio can be calculated as follows

= (2,800/6,700)×0.09 + (3,900/6,700)×0.15

= 0.4179×0.09 + 0.5820×0.15

= 0.03761 + 0.0873

= 0.1249×100

= 12.5%

Hence the expected return on the portfolio is 12.5%

homeowner can obtain a $250,000, 30-year fixed-rate mortgage at a rate of 6.0 percent with zero points or at a rate of 5.5 perce
monitta

Answer:

the NPV of paying the points = $7,619.31

Explanation:

if the homeowner gets the loan at 6%, his/her monthly payment = $1,498.88

the present value of the 360 monthly payments at 6% is $250,000

if the homeowner gets the loan at 5.5%, his/her monthly payment = $1,419.47

in order to compare both loans, I will discount the 360 payments by 6%, instead of 5.5%:

PV = $1,419.47 x 166.79161 (PV annuity factor, 0.5%, 360 periods) = $236,755.69

the NPV of paying the points = -($250,000 x 2.25%) - $236,755.69 + $250,000 = $7,619.31

melamori03 [73]

Answer:

net present value =  133808.82

Explanation:

solution

we find here present value of cash inflows that is

Cash inflows = $325,000

and

cash costs @63% =  $204,750

so

cash flow before tax = 325,000  - 204,750 = $120,250

and Tax @21% = $25,252.5

so

Cash flow after tax will be  = $120,250  - $25,252.5 = $94,997.5

Discounting factor is = 0.17

Present value of cash inflows = (cash flows after tax ÷ discounting factor)

Present value of cash inflows = \frac{94997.5}{0.17}

Present value of cash inflows = $558808.82

so

net present value = Present value of cash inflow - present value of cash outflows

put here

net present value =  $558808.82 - $425,000

net present value =  133808.82

There are 6 cities (1-6) in Araxi County. The county must determine where to build fire stations. The county wants to build the
nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

a.

Look at the two attached figures please. The decision variables is the choice to build a fire station in which city.

So there are six decision variables each taking a value of either 0 or 1.

D1 = decision to build fire station in city 1, (1 denotes yes and 0 denotes no)

D2 = decision to build fire station in city 2, (1 denotes yes and 0 denotes no)

D3 = decision to build fire station in city 3, (1 denotes yes and 0 denotes no)

D4 = decision to build fire station in city 4, (1 denotes yes and 0 denotes no)

D5 = decision to build fire station in city 5, (1 denotes yes and 0 denotes no)

D6 = decision to build fire station in city 6, (1 denotes yes and 0 denotes no)

b.

Please look at attachment

C .

The figure 1 denotes the problem formulation in excel and shows all the formulas.

In first step, a matrix is prepared to denote all cities which are within 15 minutes by 1 and others by zero

A array of decision variables for selecting the city is shown. A 1 in cell implies that city is selected and 0 means the city is not selected.

A product of the selection variable and the value in the within 15 minutes matrix is calculated as shown by the formula.

The constraint is to ensure that all cities have at least one fire station mapped within 15 minutes.

d.

The problem is solved in Excel using integer programming and the solution is that City 2 and 4 should be selected for building fire stations and thus total no of fire stations are two with every city within 15 minutes.
