Answer:

The discounted payback period is 1.88 years

Explanation:

The discounted pay back period is the number of years it takes for the investment to break even by this it means how many years it takes discounted cash flows to pay the initial investment.

Initial Investment $6,600

W e then discount the cash inflows to find the time it takes to pay off initial investment

Year 1 = 3900/ (1.15) =$3,391.30

Remainder of initial investment = -6600+3391.30= -3,208.7

Year two = 4800/ 1.15^2 = $3,629.49

Remainder of initial investment = -3208.7-3629.49 = 420.79

This yield positive results therefore the discounted payback period is sometime between year 1 and year 2.

To get the exact period we take what reamined over what paid

3208.7/3629.49 = 0.88

So it 1 year + 0.88 =1.88  years

Which of the following statements, if any, is (are) true?
irina1246 [14]

Answer:

The answer would be C

Explanation:

When it comes to considering life insurance as an investment, you’ve probably heard the adage, “Buy term and invest the difference.” This advice is based on the idea that term life insurance is the best choice for most individuals because it is the least expensive type of life insurance and leaves money free for other investments.

Permanent life insurance, the other major category of life insurance, allows policyholders to accumulate cash value, while term does not, but there are expensive management fees and agent commissions associated with permanent policies, and many financial advisors consider these charges a waste of money.

When you hear financial advisers and, more often, life insurance agents advocating for life insurance as an investment, they are referring to the cash-value component of permanent life insurance and the ways you can invest and borrow this money.

There are many arguments in favor of using permanent life insurance as an investment. The issue is, these benefits aren’t unique to permanent life insurance. You often can get them in other ways without paying the high management expenses and agent commissions that come with permanent life insurance.

Liquidity risk is one of the major risks faced by financial entities (such as banks, insurance companies and pension funds) and one of the primary causes of the 2008 financial crisis. Yet many entities with financial exposure cannot quantify the liquidity risks to which they are exposed.

In layman’s terms, liquidity risk can be described as the risk that arises from being unable to sell an asset in a timely manner and for its “true value.” There are two key dimensions of liquidity risk: one, the time required to transact in an asset, and two, the price at which the asset can be bought or sold.

An investment offers $5,800 per year, with the first payment occurring one year from now. The required return is 7 percent. a. W
algol13

Answer:

$61,445.20

Explanation:

we need to determine the present value of an annuity, and the simplest to determine this is by using annuity factors:

number of payments = 20

interest rate = 7%

annuity payment = $5,800

present value of the annuity = $5,800 x 10.594 (PV factor, 7%, n= 20) = $61,445.20

if we do not have an annuity table at hand (or in the internet), the formula used to calculate the annuity factor is:

annuity factor = [1 - 1/(1 + r)ⁿ] / r
