Answer:

Investment period = 24 years

Explanation:

The total amount that an investment made today would become  if invested at a particular rate for certain number of years is known as the future value.

The $1,200,000 is the desired future value, the $296, 375 is the present value and the 6% is the interest rate.

FV = PV × (1+r)^n

1,200,000 = 296,375 × (1.06)^(n)

(1.06)^(n) = 1200000/96,375

(1.06)^(n) =4.048924504

find the log of both sides

n log 1.06= log 4.048924504

n= log 4.048924504/log 1.06

n = 24

It will take 24 years

XYZ stock price and dividend history are as follows: YearBeginning-of-Year PriceDividend Paid at Year-End2015 $130 $5 2016 144 5
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

Arithmetic mean = 3.67%

Geometric mean = 3.02%

Explanation:

The following sorted data are given in the question:

Year           Beginning-of-Year Price         Dividend Paid at Year-End

2015                            $130                                            $5

2016                              144                                               5

2017                              120                                               5

2018                              125                                               5

Therefore, we have:

Arithmetic average return = Sum of returns/ number of years ………....….. (1)

Geometric average return = n * ((1+r1)*(1+r2)*(1+r3)…(1+rn)^(1/n) - 1 .……….. (2)

Where;

n = years 1, 2, 3….

r1, r2, r3… are the returns for year 1, 2, 3….

Return for each year = ((Current year Beginning-of-Year Price – Previous year Beginning-of-Year Price) + dividend) / Previous year Beginning-of-Year Price .................... (3)

Using equation (3), we have:

2016 Return = ((144 - 130) + 5) /130 = 0.146153846153846

2017 Return = ((120 - 144) + 5) /159 = -0.119496855345912

2018 Return = ((125 - 120) + 5) /120 = 0.0833333333333333

Using equation (1), we have:

Arithmetic mean = (2016 Return + 2017 Return + 2018 Return) / 3 = (0.1461538461538460 - 0.1194968553459120 + 0.0833333333333333) / 3 = 0.0367, or 3.67%.

Using equation (2), we have:

Geometric mean = ((1 + 2016 Return) * (1 + 2017 Return) * (1 + 2018 Return))^(1/3) - 1 = ((1 + 0.146153846153846) * (1 - 0.119496855345912) * (1 + 0.0833333333333333))^(1/3) - 1 = 0.0302, or 3.02%

If a person deposited $50 a month for 6 years earning 8%, this would involve what type of computation?
Elenna [48]
C. Future value of a series of deposits

It is not B, because although Future Value of a Single Amount (FV) is similar, it is only when you deposit a certain amount one time and let it grow in value. 
Your question says they deposit money more than once, so it is C.
