Answer: $20,478.78

Explanation:

In 14 years the investment will be,

Gold

10,000/2 = 5000

Then use the compound interest formula

5000 * (1+0.07)^ 14 = $12,892.67

For Certificates of Deposits.

Use the Compound interest formula

Rate and period are in years. Convert to semi annual basis.

3%/ 2 = 1.5%

14 * 2 = 28 periods

= 5000 ( 1+ 0.015) ^ 28

= $7,586.11

Add both

=$12,892.67 + $7,586.11

= $20,478.78

A bond with a $1,000 par value sells for $895. The coupon rate is 7%, the bonds mature in 20 years, and coupon interest is paid
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

After tax cost of debt is 5.239%

Explanation:

Given:

Face value = $1,000

Bond price = $895

Coupon payments = 0.035×1,000 = $35 (coupon payment is paid semi-annually so 7% is divided by 2)

Maturity = 20×2 = 40 periods

Using bond price formula:

Bond price = Present value of face value + present value of coupon payments

Use excel function =RATE(nper,pmt,PV,FV) to calculate cost of debt.

substituting the values:

=RATE(40,35,-895,1000)

we get Pre-Tax cost of debt = 4.03% semi- annual

Annual rate is 4.03%×2 = 8.06%

Note: PV is negative as bond price is cash outflow.

After tax cost of debt = 8.06(1 - 0.35)

                                     = 5.239%

You are a very small company that sells healthcare insurance plans. You estimate that the breach of your customer database will
liq [111]

Answer:

Spend $25000 on cyber insurance to transfer the risk

Explanation:

A cyber insurance is the best option since it protects the business from internet based risk such as the breach of customer database and other risks involved in the use of the internet by businesses and individual internet users.

The cost of purchasing a Data Loss Prevention solution that would cost $30000 per year will amount to $150000 in 5 years which will be more expensive compared to the cost of the risk it is been used to prevent. hence it is not a good option. also accepting the risk is a very bad option becasue the risk might harm the business beyond expectation.

b. adult literacy; infant mortality

Explanation:

Multiple choice <em>"life expectancy; internet usage ; adult literacy; infant mortality ; infant mortality; adult literacy ; access to clean water; life expectancy"</em>

<em />

Higher real GDP per capita would imply higher literacy rate and at the same time lower infant mortality as citizens would invest more in health and education. All the other options are wrong as higher real GDP per capita cannot lead to lower life expectancy or literacy rate.
