Answer:
A) What is the GDP price index for 1984, using 2005 as the base year?
-
the GDP price index using 2005 as base year = [($15 / $20) x 100] = 75
B) By what percentage did the price level, as measured by this index, rise between 1984 and 2005? ...percent.
-
the price level increased by: [(100 - 75) / 75] x 100 = 33.33%
C) What were the amounts of real GDP in 1984 and 2005?
-
In 1984, real GDP = $20 x 7,000 buckets = $140,000 or we can also use another method = ($15 x 7,000) / 0.75 = $105,000 / 0.75 = $140,000. The answer using both methods should be the same.
-
In 2005, real GDP = $20 x 22,000 buckets = $440,000
Answer:
16.16%
Explanation:
The formula to compute the expected rate of return is shown below:
-
Expected rate of return = (Weightage of Stock G × Expected Returns G) + (Weightage of Stock J × Expected Returns J) + (Weightage of Stock K × Expected Returns K)
= (16% × 10%) + (56% × 16%) + (28% × 20%)
= (0.16 × 0.1) + (0.56 × 0.16) + (0.28 × 0.20)
= 0.016 + 0.0896 + 0.056
= 0.1616
= 16.16%
The used car will have higher insurance premiums because there is a higher chance that it will malfunction and that they will have to pay for your expenses. A new car is cheaper when it comes to premiums because it is expected to last and the insurance companies are safer in this regard.
Answer:
0.0210
Explanation:
The computation of the weight of the preferred stock is shown below:
Particulars Shares Price Value ( Shares × Price) Weight ( Value ÷Total value)
Equity 10,800 $42 $4,53,600 0.4179
Preferred Stock 245 $93 $22,785 0.0210
Bonds 580 $1,050 $6,09,000 0.5611
Total value $1,085,385
for computing the weight we simply divide the value of the preferred stock with the total value
