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.

Rainbow [258]

Answer:

The correct option is a. 2017: $200,000 2018: $520,000 2019: $240,000.

Explanation:

The formula for cost to cost method is expected or actual cost incurred to date divided by the total cost of the project or contract.

Therefore, we have:

Total cost = Cost in 2017 + Cost in 2018 + Cost in 2019 = $640,000 + $1,600,000 + $800,000 = $3,040,000

Cost in 2017 contribution to total cost = Cost in 2017 / Total cost = $640,000 / $3,040,000 = 0.21

Cost in 2018 contribution to total cost = Cost in 2018 / Total cost = $1,600,000 / $3,040,000 = 0.53

Cost in 2019 contribution to total cost = Cost in 2019 / Total cost = $800,000 / $3,040,000 = 0.26

Revenue in 2017 = Cost in 2017 contribution to total cost * Contract price = 0.21 * $4,000,000 = $840,000

Revenue in 2018 = Cost in 2018 contribution to total cost * Contract price = 0.53 * $4,000,000 = $2,120,000

Revenue in 2019 = Cost in 2019 contribution to total cost * Contract price = 0.26 * $4,000,000 = $1,040,000

Therefore, net income for each year 2017 through 2019 using the cost-to-cost method can be computed as follows:

Net income for year 2017 = Revenue in 2017 - Cost in 2017 = $840,000 - $640,000 = $200,000

Net income for year 2018 = Revenue in 2018 - Cost in 2018 = $2,120,000 - $1,600,000 = $520,000

Net income for year 2019 = Revenue in 2019 - Cost in 2019 = $1,040,000 - $800,000 = $240,000

Therefore, the correct option is a. 2017: $200,000 2018: $520,000 2019: $240,000.

Deb and Rusty know that buying a house will save them money on taxes because they get to deduct the interest they pay to the ban
Margarita [4]

Answer:

Their income after 20 years would be 72,550 dollars.

Explanation:

The income after 20 years can easily de determin by using compounding

formula

Future Value = Present Value (1 + I)^ 20

                      = 90,000 (1 + 0.03)^ 20

                      = 162,550 dollars

Income can be determing by subtracting Pv from Fv i.e

Income = 162,550 - 90,000 = 72,550

Calculation on excel sheet

       A                        B                  C                         D                

1     90,000             1.03            = A1 * 1.03        = C1-A1        

2      = D1                  1.03           = A2 * 1.03       = C2-A2

20    = D19               1.03           = A20 * 1.03      = A20 - C20

* In work sheet colunm D will show income on investment.
