  • Second, high growth stock are also
  1. high risk

Bill is considering investing $450 at the end of every month in a fixed income instrument. He will receive $27,000 at the end of
Nikitich [7]

Answer:

11.61%

Explanation:

First, find the annual percentage return (APR) of this annuity. Using a financial calculator, input the following;

Recurring payment; PMT = -450

Future value ; FV = 27,000

Duration of investment ; N = 4*12 = 48 months

One -time present value; PV = 0

then compute interest rate; CPT I /Y= 0.92% (this is monthly rate)

APR = 0.92*12 = 11.035%

Effective Annual Rate (EAR) formula is as follows;

EAR = (1+\frac{APR}{m} ) ^m  -1

EAR = 1+\frac{0.11035}{12} )^12 -1

EAR = 1.1161 -1

EAR = 0.1161 or 11.61%

For the person to whom this utility function applies, a. her level of satisfaction will be enhanced equally by an increase in we
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

b. the more wealth she has, the less utility she gets from an additional dollar of wealth.

Explanation:

Utility is the satisfaction derived from a good. Total Utility is the total satisfaction from all units of a good. Marginal Utility is the additional satisfaction from an additional unit of a good.

The Law of Diminishing Marginal Utility states that : As consumer gets more & more of a good, the additional utility (satisfaction) from each successive unit keeps on declining. It implies that marginal utility decreases, & total utility increases at a decreasing rate.

Therefore : A person has more marginal utility (additional satisfaction) from an additional dollar, if he has less money (dollars). And, relatively less marginal utility from an additional dollar if he has more money (dollars).

Example : A rich person having millions of dollars would get less marginal utility (additional satisfaction) from gaining a single dollar, than a poor person having few dollars.
