Nan and Neal are twins. Nan invests $5,000 at 7 percent at age 25. Neal Invests $5,000 at 7 percent at age 30. Both investments
FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

e) Nan will have more money than Neal at any age.

Explanation:

In compound interest, the interest earned in the year is added to the principal amount at the beginning of the next year. Earned interest becomes part of the principal which makes it earn interest. Adding interest to the principal to earn more interest is known as compounding.

The longer the investment period is, the more time interest will be compounded, and the more the investment will grow.  Nan made her investment at age 25. By the time she retires, her investment period will be 35 years.  Neil started her investment at age 30. At any given time after they are both age 30, Nan's investment will have earned compounded interest five more times than Neil. Therefore, Nan will have more money at any given time.

Wooten & McMahon Enterprises produces a product with the following per-unit costs: Direct materials $13.00 Direct labor 8.80
Setler [38]

Answer:

b.$5,912.50

Explanation:

The computation of the operating income is shown below:

= Sales - Direct materials cost - Direct labor cost - Manufacturing overhead cost - Total selling and administrative expense

where,

Sales = Number of units × selling price per unit

         =  825 units × $74.80

         = $61,710

Direct materials cost = Number of units × Direct materials per unit

         =  825 units × $13

         = $10,725

Direct labor cost = Number of units × Direct labor per unit

         =  825 units × $13

         = $7,260

Manufacturing overhead cost = Number of units × Manufacturing overhead per unit

         =  825 units × $16.50

         = $13,612.50

And, the Total selling and administrative expense is $24,200

Now put these values to the above formula

So, the value would equal to

= $61,710 - $10,725 - $7,260 - $13,612.50 - $24,200

= $5,912.50

James purchased a commercial property at a 7.5% cap rate. The previous owner agreed to finance the deal at 8%. Why may James ele
dlinn [17]

Answer:

James will lose money, since his earnings will be lower than the interest that he must pay.

Explanation:

The capitalization (cap) rate is a ratio calculated by dividing the net operating income over the property asset value.

For example, if James is purchasing the property at $100,000, his net earning will be $7,500 per year (cap rate of 7.5%), but he will have to $8,000 in interests for the property. The interests are higher than the earnings, therefore the leverage is negative.

In two years, you will receive the 1st payment from an irrevocable trust your grandparents set up. The trust is set up make paym
NikAS [45]

Answer:

$50,000

Explanation:

Note: There is an assumption that the payment is yearly payment & is received at the end of every year

Present Value of Perpetuity = Payment Receivable in 1st year/ (Discount rate - Growth rate)

Present Value of Perpetuity = 500/(2%-1%)

Present Value of Perpetuity = 500/0.01

Present Value of Perpetuity = $50,000

So, the present value of all the future trust payments is closest to $50,000

Consider the following three stocks. (a) Stock A is expected to provide a dividend of $10 a share forever. (b) Stock B is expect
Archy [21]

Answer:

The stock A is most valuable as the fair value of Stock A is $100 which is more than the fair value of Stock B ( $83.33) and Stock C ($34.28).

Explanation:

to calculate the fair price of the stocks, we will use the DDM or dividend discount model. The DDM bases the value of a stock on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock.

Let r be the discount rate which is 10%.

a.

The stock is like a perpetuity as it pays a constant dividend after equal intervals of time and for an indefinite period.

The price of this stock can be calculated as,

Price or P0 =  Dividend / r

P0 = 10 / 0.1  = $100

b.

The constant growth model of DDM can be used to calculate the price of this stock as its dividends are growing at a constant rate forever.

P0 = D1 / r - g

Where,

  • D1 is the dividend for the next period
  • r is the cost of equity or discount rate
  • g is the growth rate in dividends

P0 = 5 / (0.1 - 0.04)

P0 = $83.33

c.

The price of this stock can be calculated using the present of dividends.

P0 = 5 / (1+0.1)  +  5 * (1+0.2) / (1+0.1)^2  +  5 * (1+0.2)^2 / (1+0.1)^3  +  

5 * (1+0.2)^3 / (1+0.1)^4  +  5 * (1+0.2)^4 / (1+0.1)^5  +  5 * (1+0.2)^5 / (1+0.1)^6

P0 = $34.28
