Answer:

I wouldn't invest.

Risk preference at least 50-50 chance of gain and loose

Explanation:

case of success the return i get is $40000

case of failure i lose $20000.

My analysis shows P40=0.3 of success

And P-20=0.7 of failure.

The probability of a loose is much bigger than the probability of a gain.

So I can't bear the loose of loosing 7 times if about 20000 and gaining 3 times of about 40000 it doesn't balance.

My loose accumulating to 140000

While my gain is 120000.

I can't invest

An employer will do a 50% match on your investment to a 401k retirement plan. If you decide to contribute a monthly amount of $2
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

There will be $92,635.42 in the account after 15 years.

Explanation:

Missing question <em>"The interest rate is fixed at 2.05%"</em>

As the employer does a 50% match on the employee’s investment, the monthly contribution to the retirement plan will be = 2 * $220 = $ 440.

The future value (F) of an annuity is given by F = (P/r)[(1+r)n-1]

P is the periodic payment

r is the rate per period

n is the number of periods.

P = 440, r = 2.05/1200 and n = 15*12 = 180.

F = (440*1200/2.05)[ (1+2.05/1200)180 -1]

F = (528000/2.05)*0.359664042

F = 92635.4215493

F = $92635.42

Thus, there will be $92,635.42 in the account after 15 years.

A company has only two divisions: division a and division
Sloan [31]

Answer – Division A

 

EXPLANATION’

 

Given for last year,

Division A made 60% of the company's total revenue.

Let the company’s total revenue for last year be x

60% of x = 0.6x

Division A made 0.6x last year

 

Also given for last year,

Division B made 40% of the company's total revenue.

If the company’s total revenue for last year is x

40% of x = 0.4x

Division B made 0.4x last year

 

For this year,

We are told that division A's revenue has decreased by 35%

Last year’s revenue was 0.6x

Division A’s revenue for this year = 0.6x – (35% of 0.6x)

= (100% of 0.6x) – (35% of 0.6x)

= (100% * 0.6x) – (35% * 0.6x)

= (100% - 35%) * 0.6x

= 65% * 0.6x

= 65/100 * 0.6x

= 0.39x

Therefore this year, Division A’s revenue is 0.39x

 

Again for this year,

We are told that division B's revenue has decreased by 5%

Last year’s revenue was 0.4x

Division B’s revenue for this year = 0.4x – (5% of 0.4x)

= (100% of 0.4x) – (5% of 0.6x)

= (100% * 0.4x) – (5% * 0.4x)

= (100% - 5%) * 0.4x

= 95% * 0.4x

= 0.38x

Therefore this year, Division B’s revenue is 0.38x

 

If Division A’s revenue is 0.39x, and Division B’s revenue is 0.38x; then Division A had higher revenue this year.
