Answer:

10.77%

Explanation:

FV: $1000

PV: $845.87

PMT: $60

Nper: 40 = (25 years - 5 years ago)* 2 for semi-annual payment

We use excel to calculate semi-annual discount rate by formula Rate(Nper,PMT,-PV,FV)

= rate(40,$60,-$845.87,$1000) = 7.18%

⇒ annual rate = semi-annual rate * 2 = 7.18% * 2 = 14.36%

after-tax cost of debt = 14.36% * (1 - 25%) = 10.77%

<em>Please see excel attached for the calculation</em>

You are a​ risk-averse investor who is considering investing in one of two economies. The expected return and volatility of all
galben [10]

Answer:

It's best to invest in the second economy

Explanation:

The question does not provide information on the hypothetical economic expectations of the two economies, but as a risk-averse investor, it's a better idea to try to "spread" the risk instead of concentrating it.

In the first economy, conditions might or might not be good. If they are good, returns will be extraordinary because all stocks will provide good returns, but if conditions take a turn for the worse, all stocks prices will fall and the financial consequences will be catastrophic.

In the second economy, results might never be as good as in the first economy, but they also will not ever be as bad. The risk is spread between various stocks, and while some may fall in price, others will rise, and viceversa. For a risk-adverse investor, this a far better option.
