Answer:

I would prefer Asset B

Explanation:

A risk averse investor is the one who prefers lower amount of returns with known or specific risks instead of the higher amount of returns with unknown risks. So, from among the various level of risks, the investor will be preferring the alternative with the least interest.

So, in this case,

In Asset A: pay a return of $2,000 and at 20% of time and the $500 at 80% of time.

In Asset B: pay a return of $1,000 and at 50% of time and the $600 at 50% of time.

So, I would prefer, Asset B as it has low return but have a known risk that is of 50 -50.

5. A manufacturing company decides to buy solar cells in anticipation of rising electricity costs. The company is modeling its p
ch4aika [34]

If the expected rate of return for the company equals 8%, the maximum amount of initial investment that makes this a desirable and profitable project is <u>$11,385.20</u>.

<h3>What is the present value?</h3>

The present value is the discounted value of some future cash flows.  It is computed using the present value formula or table.  It can also be computed using an online finance calculator as follows:

For this project, we first calculate the future value of the cost-savings from the solar project based on $20,000 and 5% increases for 20 years as follows.

N (# of periods) = 20 years

I/Y (Interest per year) = 5%

PV (Present Value) = $20,000

PMT (Periodic Payment) = $0

Results:

FV = $53,065.95 ($20,000 + $33,065.95)

Total Interest = $33,065.95

Thereafter, we compute the present value of the above future value based on an 8% expected rate of return as follows:

N (# of periods) = 20 years

I/Y (Interest per year) = 8%

PMT (Periodic Payment) = $0

FV (Future Value) = $53,065.95

Results:

PV = $11,385.20

Total Interest = $41,680.75

Thus, if the expected rate of return for the company equals 8%, the maximum amount of initial investment that makes this a desirable and profitable project is <u>$11,385.20</u>.

grandymaker [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Last year the equilibrium price and the quantity of good X were $10 and 5 million pounds, respectively.

The producer surplus is the difference between the minimum price that a producer is willing to accept and the price it actually gets. It can be found by calculating the area between the supply curve and the market price.

The producer surplus

= \frac{1}{2}\ \times\ base\ \times\ height

= \frac{1}{2}\ \times\ quantity\ \times\ price

= \frac{1}{2}\ \times\ 5\ \times\ 10

= $25

Because of strong demand this year, the equilibrium price and the quantity of good X are $12 and 7 million pounds, respectively.

The producer surplus

= \frac{1}{2}\ \times\ base\ \times\ height

= \frac{1}{2}\ \times\ quantity\ \times\ price

= \frac{1}{2}\ \times\ 7\ \times\ 12

= $42

1. A business acquaintance promises to deliver a $20 bill to you one year from today. How much should you be willing to pay toda
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below;

1. The willing amount to pay for the promise should be less than $20 that represents the time value of money

2. Now the present value is

= Received amount × discounting factor at 6% for 3 years

= $1,000 × 0.839

= $839

3. Now the interest rate is

As we know that

Future value = Present value × (1 + rate of interest)^number of years

$1,000 = $863.84 × (1 + rate of interest)^3

rate of interest =5% approx
