Answer:

$10 billion

Explanation:

The aggregate amount of investment = the $5 billion that yield a 20-25% rate of return + the $5 billion that yield a 15-20% rate of return.

Both amounts are included because their rates of return are higher than the current interest rate in the economy (15%).

seraphim [82]

Answer:

PV= $2,749,494

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Cash flow= $200,000

Number of periods= 25

Interest rate= 5.25%

<u>First, we need to calculate the future value using the following formula:</u>

FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i

A= annual cash flow

FV= {200,000* [(1.0525^25) - 1]} / 0.0525

FV= $9,881,102.14

<u>Now, the present value:</u>

PV= FV/(1+i)^n

PV= 9,881,102.14 / (1.0525^25)

PV= $2,749,494

3. Suppose you are thinking of purchasing the Moore Co.’s common stock today. If you expect Moore to pay $3.1, $3.38, $3.70, $4.
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

$69.87

Explanation:

The price i would be willing to pay for the stock can be determined by finding the present value of the dividend payments

Present value is the sum of discounted cash flows

Present value can be calculated using a financial calculator

Cash flow in year 1 = 3.1

Cash flow in year 2 = 3.38

Cash flow in year 3 = 3.70

Cash flow in year 4 = 4.02

Cash flow in year 5 = 4.38 + 95 = 99.38

I = 11%

Present value = $69.87

To find the PV using a financial calculator:

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

Because your mother is about to retire, she wants to buy an annuity that will provide her with $75,000 of income a year for 20 y
siniylev [52]

The calculated present value of the annuity is $915,166.70.

Explanation and Solution:

Annuity is a collection of fixed payments made or earned either at the close or at the beginning of any term such that a significant initial payment or receipt may be turned into a set of comparatively minor payments or receipts. An annuity that lasts indefinitely is called perpetuity.

The formula for the present value of the annuity is given by:

P = \frac{1- (1+i)^{-n} }{i}  * R

Where;

R = annual payment = $75,000

i = interest rate = 5.25%

P = Present value of annuity

n = number of years = 20 years

P = \frac{1- (1+5.25)^{-20} }{5.25}  * 75,000

P = $915,166.70

SpyIntel [72]

Answer: c. Financial markets are a critical components of economic success

Explanation:

Economic success runs on companies and individuals being able to produce goods and services for the economy. To be able to do so they need capital to invest and most times they don't have that capital.

This is where Finance comes in. It connects people who do not have the capital but want to produce to those that have the capital but do not necessarily want to produce.

The huge amounts of money that finance attracts is channelled to those who need it. They then produce and the economy becomes successful.
