Answer:

A year.

Explanation:

Leading indicators tell something about the short-term future of an economy. Investors tend to pay more attention to leading indicators than to lagging indicators, which are those that illustrate the economic effects of a business cycle upturn or downturn.

Some leading indicators are: stock price changes, invetory changes and building permits.

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "C": three to twelve months.

Explanation:

Leading Economic Indicators (LEI) measure the development of a country's economy in diverse fields such as goods and services production, inflation or employment. Among the most common LEIs we can identify the Gross Domestic Product (GDP), Consumer Price Index (CPI), and the Current Employment Statistics (CES). The results after each study are presented quarterly (every 3 months) or annually (every 12 months).

Answer:

a) $3,458

Explanation:

The net present value is the present value of future cash flows discounted at the firm's weighted average cost of capital(which is the appropriate discount rate in this case) minus the initial investment outlay

cost of equity=risk-free rate+beta*(expected market return-risk free rate)

cost of equity=2.5%+1.5*(12%-2.5%)

cost of equity=16.75%

after-tax cost of debt=5.2%*(1-21%)

after-tax cost of debt=4.11%

WACC=(weight of equity*cost of equity)+(weight of debt*after-tax cost of debt)

weight of equity=value of equity/(value of equity+value of debt)

value of equity=6 billion*$3=$18 billion

value of debt=$5 billion

weight of equity=$18 billion/($18 billion+$5 billion)

weight of equity=78.26%

weight of debt=1-78.26%

weight of debt=21.74%

WACC=(78.26%*16.75%)+(21.74%*4.11%)

WACC=14.00%

present value of a future cash flow=future cash flow/(1+WACC)^n

n is the year in which the cash flow is expected, it is 1 for year 1 cash flow, 2 for year 2 cash flow ,and so on

NPV of project B=1000/(1+14%)^1+1000/(1+14%)^2++4000/(1+14%)^3+1000/(1+14%)^4+1000/(1+14%)^5-2000

NPV of project B=$ 3,458.00

How much would you have to invest today in the bank at an interest rate of 10% to have an annuity of $5600 per year for 7 years,

Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

PV = $27,263.15

It will be needed to deposit the lump sum of $27,263.15

Explanation:

The question is asking for how much will you need to deposit in a lump sum today to withdraw for seven years the sum of $5,600 with an interest rate of 10%

In other words it is asking us for the preset value of an annuity of $5,600 with interest of 10%

Using the present value of an annuity formula of $1 we can solve for the present value of that annuity, which is the amount needed to generate this annuity

$C * \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate}= PV\\$

We post our knows value and solve it:

$5,600 * \frac{1-(1+0.10)^{-7} }{0.10}= PV\\$

PV = $27,263.15

Assume that the risk-free rate of interest is 6% and the expected rate of return on the market is 16%. A share of stock sells fo

Tju [1.3M]

Answer: Price of stock at year end =$53

Explanation:

we first compute the Expected rate of return using the CAPM FORMULAE that

Expected return =risk-free rate + Beta ( Market return - risk free rate)

Expected return=6% + 1.2 ( 16%-6%)

Expected return= 0.06 + 1.2 (10%)

Expected return=0.06+ 0.12

Expected return=0.18

Using the formulae Po= D1 / R-g to find the growth rate

Where Po= current price of stock at $50

D1= Dividend at $6 at end of year

R = Expected return = 0.18

50= 6/ 0.18-g

50(0.18-g) =6

9-50g=6

50g=9-6

g= 3/50

g=0.06 = 6%

Now that we have gotten the growth rate and expected return, we can now determine the price the investors are expected to sell the stock at the end of year.

Price of stock = D( 1-g) / R-g

= 6( 1+0.06)/ 0.18 -0.06

=6+0.36/0.12

=6.36/0.12= $53
