Answer:

Depositing in bank is a better option.

Explanation:

For this solution, we can either determine the interest rate given to George by his one of the friend or the future worth method,

Future worth method is used here,

Given that,

PV = $6,900

R = 9%

N = 10 Years

FV = PV\times(1+R)^{N}

FV = 6,900\times(1+0.09)^{10}

FV = 6,900\times(1.09)^{10}

FV = 6,900 × 2.3673

FV = $16,334.81

Since, the future worth of investing in bank is more than the money to be offered by the George's friend (16,334.81 > 12,900) and hence, depositing in bank is a better option.

postal express is considering the purchase of a new sorting machine. the sales quote consists of quarterly payments of $37,200 f
Cloud [144]

The five-year sales quote includes quarterly payments of $37,200 at a 7.6% interest rate. The price of the acquisition is $614,184.40.

<h3>Do you mean by PMT payment?</h3>

PMT stands for "payment," therefore the name of the function. A PMT method can estimate your monthly payments, for instance, if you are looking for a $30,000 car loan with a two-year term and an annual interest rate of 7%.

<h3>In the fv formula, what is PMT?</h3>

PV = present value, and FV=PMT(1+i)((1+i)N - 1)/i Future Value (FV) Payment per period (PMT) I = percent per period interest rate N is the number of cycles.

Quarterly Payment = PMT = $37,400

Interest Rates = r = 7.6% per year = 0.076 per year = 0.076 / 4 = 0.019 per quarter

Number of years = 5 years

Number of Payment = n = 5 years x 4 quarters per year = 20 quarters

PV = PMT x (1 - [1 / (1 +r)^n]) / r

PV = $37,200 x (1 - [1 / (1 +0.019)^20]) / 0.019

PV = $614,184.40

Explanation:

According to the situation, the solution of the beta of portfolio is as follows

Beta portfolio = (weightage of investment F × beta F) + (proportion of investment G ×beta G)

Beta protfolio =  (0.5 × 1.08) + (0.5 × 1.45)

= 0.54 + 0.725

The answer is: underperform passive fixed-income indexes by an amount equal to fund expenses
