The present value of a lump sum future amount:__________

Business
1 answer:
SVEN [57.7K]4 years ago

Answer:

  • <u><em>d) increases as the interest rate decreases.</em></u>

Explanation:

<em>Present value</em> is the value today; future value is the value some time in the future.

The mere notion of the value of money in time should tell you that, further away in time (towards the future) a sum of money is found, the lower its value today.

Then, you should be able to rule out some propositions that are contrary to that intuition:

  • a<em>) decreases as the time period decreases</em> ↔ clearly false: the present value increases as the time period decreases
  • <em>e) is directly related to the time period</em>. ↔ clearly false: the present value is inversely related to the time period.

How is the present value related to the future value?

They are directly related: the higher a lump sum in the future the higher the value of it in the present; more money is more money always. More money in the future has more value in the present; less money in the future has less value in the present. Thus,  the option <em>b). is inversely related to the future value</em> is false

How is the present value related to the interest rate?. Which one is true?

  • c) is directly related to the interest rate, or
  • d) increases as the interest rate decreases

The present value is calculated discounted the future value at the interest rate. The interest rate is in the denominator of the equation to pass from future value to present value. Thus, they are inversely related (c is false); the less the interest rate, the higher the present value of a future amount (confirm d is true).

Therefore, the correct answer is that <em>the present of a lump sum future amount: </em><em><u>d) increases as the interest rate decreases.</u></em>

In the 5:1 ratio the highest paid executive would earn $120,000 and with the 7:1 that executive would earn $168,000. A manager might be upset with these rules because their compensation could not exceed 5 or 7 times the amount made by the lowest paid employee. The managers compensation would not rise much from year to year and it offered no benefits if the company’s profits improved dramatically.

In 2008, 1 in approximately every 200 cars in the United States was stolen. Beth owns a car worth $20,000 and is considering pur
rjkz [21]

Answer:

A) The amount of the premium in fair insurance policy that replaces Beths car, must be equal to the probability or expectation of claim of car theft.

Therefore, the Premium amount = 20000 x (1/200)

= 20000 (0.005)

= $100

B) If an Insurance company charges 0.6% for replacing a stolen car, then the policy will cost beth:

20000* 0.6%

= 12,000/100

= $ 120  

C) To be risk-neutral means to be indifferent to the risk. This means that Beth would be indifferent. She most likely will be focused on maximizing value for money. In other words, she will NOT pay for the insurance policy in part b because part A provides her with the exact (or fair) premium for her insurance.

D) The moral hazard problem is this, people tend to become more careless with an insurance policy in place. This moral hazard arises form the knowledge that there is an insurance policy that caters to their risks.

As a matter of practice, therefore, insurance companies factor this increased risk into their premiums. Where the premium was supposed to be $100, they may charge $120.

In summary, it means that Beth most likely will move from becoming risk neutral to becoming (to a certain degree) more risk loving.

Cheers!
