Answer:

Option 2

Option 3

Option 1

Explanation:

Present value is the sum of discounted cash flows.

Present value can be calculated using a financial calculator

Present value of option 1 = $900

For option 2 :

Cash flow in year 1 = $1200

I = 15%

Present value = $1,043.48

For option 3 :

Cash flow each year from year 1 to 4 = 0

Cash flow in year 5 = $2000

I = 15%

Present value =$ 994.35

From the above figures, option 2 has the highest present value, followed by option 3 and then option 1.

To find the PV using a financial calacutor:

1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

2. After inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

3. Press compute

Some advocates of behavioral finance agree with efficient market advocates that indexing is theoptimal investment strategy for m
denis-greek [22]

Answer:

Advocates of the efficient market is of the belief that information that is made available publicly is usually reflected in security prices and thus adjustments in price to new information will occur swiftly. Hence, under the EMH, there are no guarantees on the prices of the stock market and thus no investment rules that can bring superior returns. In this light, investors would rather not deviate from the market index.

On the other hand, advocates of behavioral finance is of the belief that biases in behavior is capable of causing stock market prices to be inefficient. Hence making the investors to believe that a deviation from the market portfolio would be advantageous although the level of risk may be high.

Summarize red lines and reverse red lining and why they are unethical lending practices
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

3 For example, redlining has been used to describe discriminatory practices by retailers, both brick-and-mortar and online. Reverse redlining is the practice of targeting neighborhoods (mostly non-white) for higher prices or lending on unfair terms such as predatory lending of subprime mortgages. A 2017 study by Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago economists found that redlining—the practice whereby banks discriminated against the inhabitants of certain neighborhoods—had a persistent adverse impact on the neighborhoods, with redlining affecting homeownership rates, home values and credit scores in 2010.

Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

$3.10 per litre

Explanation:

Riverbed will agree to buy the additional cranberries for at most $3.10 per litre since this is their normal selling price. They can buy at this price and accept to not make profit since they are out to satisfy customers now and are not necessarily looking to make profit.

Therefore cost of purchase of extra cranberries would equal selling price at maximum

Suppose the U.S. Treasury offers to sell you a bond for $747.25. No payments will be made until the bond matures 5 years from no
8090 [49]

Answer:

r = 6.00%

Explanation:

given data:

bond price = $747.25

V = \frac{P}{(1+r)^n}

747.25 = \frac{1000}{(1+r)^5}

(1+r)^5= \frac{1000}{747.25}

1.33824  =(1+r)^5

taking log on both side

5 ln (1+r)= ln 1.33824

ln (1+r)= \frac{0.291355477}{5}

ln (1+r) = .05827

1+r =e^{0.05827}

1+r =1.06

r=0.06

r = 6.00%
